Lead classification is often treated as a tactical marketing detail, yet it directly influences forecasting accuracy, follow-up quality, sales efficiency, and customer experience. If lifecycle stages are unclear or inconsistently applied, revenue metrics may become inflated or misleading. By analyzing how structured lead management correlates with annual recurring revenue, this study seeks to clarify whether lifecycle maturity reflects broader operational maturity.
