Inbound Lead
Inbound Lead

An "inbound lead" refers to a potential customer who has initiated contact with a company, expressing interest in the company's products or services.

This can happen through various means, such as:

Filling out a web form

Making a phone call

Or sending an email

Once the lead is received, it is typically passed to a sales representative who will follow up with the potential customer to learn more about their needs and determine whether the company's products or services are a good fit.

A "trial signup" is when a customer expresses interest in the product and want to try it before buying it. And "inbound enquiry" means the customer reached out to the company for more information about the product or services.
