Product Qualified Lead
Definition
A potential customer who has used your product, often a free version, and shown signs they are ready to buy.
Why it matters
Product qualified leads convert better because they already see value, making them more efficient to turn into paying customers.
Example
A user who hits the limits of your free plan becomes a product qualified lead ready for an upgrade offer.
