CPL in B2B (Cost Per Lead vs. Cost Per SQL)
Why raw CPL is misleading and must be evaluated alongside Cost Per MQL and Cost Per SQL
In Simple Words (Zero Jargon):
Why paying ₹500 for cheap irrelevant leads is a waste of money compared to paying ₹3,000 for verified decision-makers who actually buy.
Official Mathematical Equation
Cost Per SQL = Total Campaign Spend ÷ Total Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs)
Why It Is Critical
A cheap Meta campaign generating leads at ₹400 with a 2% SQL rate has a Cost Per SQL of ₹20,000. A LinkedIn campaign generating leads at ₹2,500 with a 30% SQL rate has a Cost Per SQL of ₹8,333 - making LinkedIn 2.4x cheaper in real commercial terms.
What You Get: Protection from optimizing toward cheap vanity leads that clog your CRM and deliver zero pipeline revenue.
