Sales Qualified Account (SQA)

An account-level qualification state used in ABM motions.

SQA extends SQL logic to the account level by combining account fit, intent, and stakeholder readiness.

Why It Matters

Account-level qualification improves focus in complex multi-contact deals.

Practical Interpretation

Treat this as an account-prioritization and orchestration decision, not just campaign vocabulary. Sales Qualified Account (SQA) should be connected to specific owners and review moments so decisions are repeatable.
