Practical guide

A useful lead needs context, an owner and a next step.

## Work through the decision

- Define the information needed to respond. Separate required fields from helpful ones and avoid collecting details nobody uses.

- Map each inquiry type to an owner, backup and response expectation. Define duplicates, qualification and sales acceptance.

- Test a normal inquiry, a repeat and failed delivery. Ask sales to reject a sample and confirm that marketing receives the reason.

## Decision to take away

Accept the handoff when both teams classify the same records consistently and can recover from failure.
