Edge Cases

MQL vs SQL

If you only count MQLs as leads, your conversion rate will be artificially higher. Use raw leads for true funnel health.

No-Show Rate

A booked meeting isn't a held meeting. Track your 'Show Rate' alongside this metric.

The Do's

  • Call leads within 5 minutes of signup for 10x higher booking rates.
  • Use automated calendar links to remove friction.
  • Follow up at least 6 times before giving up on a lead.
  • Provide value in every follow-up email, not just 'Checking in'.

The Don'ts

  • Don't over-qualify leads with 20-field forms.
  • Don't wait 24 hours to reach out; the lead is cold by then.
  • Don't send generic, impersonal outreach templates.
  • Don't ignore your 'No-Show' rate; track it religiously.

Advanced Tips & Insights
