I’m in a writing group with some of the world’s most brilliant minds. Several members are leadership consultants, so I get early access to some of their insights about being a “leader.” It’s funny because leadership is tough to define but easy to spot.

For decades, the marketing qualified lead (MQL) has been the centerpiece of B2B go-to-market (GTM) strategies. It has shaped how marketing teams operate, how sales teams prioritize outreach, and how executives measure marketing’s contribution to revenue. However, the MQL no longer fits this purpose. It’s not just an outdated metric; it represents a way of thinking that disconnects GTM teams from real business impact, misaligns incentives and fails to reflect how modern buyers behave.
