Lifecycle Stages Definition

Lifecycle stages definition: lifecycle stages allow a brand to understand and label where a customer is in the sales process.

There are widely considered to be eight lifecycle stages:

  1. Subscriber: the contact has opted in to learn more about your brand
  2. Lead: the contact has expressed interest in your product
  3. Marketing qualified lead: the contact is engaged but not ready to buy
  4. Sales qualified lead: the contact is ready to receive sales communications
  5. Opportunity: the contact is likely to buy
  6. Customer: the contact has converted into a customer
  7. Evangelist: the customer has become a brand advocate
  8. Other: the contact does not fit any of the above

Labeling a contact at each of these stages allows a brand to understand how to employ lead nurturing. This enables targeted communication to address their wants and needs.
