What is Cost per SQL?

Cost per SQL measures how much you spend to generate one Sales Qualified Lead, a lead that has been vetted and confirmed as a genuine opportunity by your sales team.

Why Cost per SQL Matters

Cost per SQL is more meaningful than cost per lead because it measures qualified opportunities, not just form fills. A $500 SQL that closes is infinitely more valuable than a $10 lead that goes nowhere.
