What is Lead Conversion

Lead Conversion KPIs are key performance indicators that measure the effectiveness of a business’s marketing and sales efforts in converting leads into sales-ready opportunities and ultimately into paying customers. These KPIs track the progression of prospects through various stages—from visitor to lead, marketing-qualified lead (MQL), sales-qualified lead (SQL), and finally to customer—providing insights into both lead quality and the success of nurturing strategies. Lead Conversion Rate, a central metric within this KPI group, calculates the percentage of leads who take a desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. Monitoring lead conversion KPIs helps businesses optimize their lead generation processes, improve customer acquisition strategies, and align marketing and sales efforts for better overall growth.
