A user who has demonstrated buying intent through product usage behavior — a stronger signal than a marketing-qualified lead.
PQLs are identified by specific in-product actions: hitting a usage limit, inviting teammates, or using a premium feature in free tier. AI can analyze usage telemetry from PostHog or Mixpanel to build PQL scoring models that automatically trigger outreach when a user reaches high-intent milestones, enabling efficient sales at scale without manual lead review.
