A Customer Success Qualified Lead (CSQL) is a lead that comes from an existing customer and has a high potential to be a successful long-term customer.

  • CSQLs are similar to Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) and Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs), but they are considered higher value because they come from existing customers.
  • CSQLs are generated by the Customer Success team, who interact closely with customers.  
  • CSQLs are a source of lean revenue because they come from existing customers. Organizations use CSQLs to increase revenue from existing customers.

Hi @tyler_mcnally , do you have any resources to share for instances where the CSM is responsible from finding and selling the CSQL? 

I am interested in workflows that would allow: 

  • CSQL to come from Salesforce and created by CSMs within Gainsight; 
  • Manage the CSQL by creating a relevant CTA or Success Plan based on Lead Source or campaign type; 
  • Allows for reporting that includes CSQL forecasting and expansion CTA conversion. 

This degree of visibility will allow us to pivot quickly to train CSMs and/or optimize the playbooks for higher conversion rates.
