What is Lead Generation?

A lead is anyone who could become a customer and whose details you have. Lead generation creates that list, through inbound methods (content, SEO, ads, webinars) or outbound methods (prospecting, cold calls and emails, events).

Good lead generation isn’t about volume. Leads should match your ideal customer profile and be reachable — which is why B2B teams combine targeting with verified contact data.
