Key B2B sales and outbound terms explained.
Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
A detailed description of the type of company that is the best fit for your product or service. An ICP typically includes firmographic criteria such as industry, company size, revenue, location, and technology stack.
Sales Development Representative (SDR)
A sales team member focused on outbound prospecting and qualifying leads. SDRs typically handle the top of the sales funnel — identifying prospects, reaching out via email, phone, and LinkedIn, and booking meetings for Account Executives.
Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)
A lead that has been identified by the marketing team as more likely to become a customer based on their engagement with marketing content, such as downloading a guide, attending a webinar, or visiting a pricing page.
Sales Qualified Lead (SQL)
A lead that has been vetted by the sales team and confirmed as a genuine opportunity. SQLs have typically had a conversation with a sales rep and meet the criteria for budget, authority, need, and timeline.
Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
A strategic approach to B2B marketing where sales and marketing teams collaborate to target specific high-value accounts with personalised campaigns, rather than casting a wide net.
Email Outreach
An unsolicited email sent to a prospect who has no prior relationship with the sender. In B2B sales, email outreachs are used to initiate conversations with potential customers and book meetings.
