Hot lead
A hot lead is a prospect showing strong, immediate buying intent, such as requesting a quote or asking to book right now. Hot leads are the most likely to convert and demand instant attention, because any delay risks losing them to a faster competitor.
A hot lead is ready to buy now. They have asked for a price, requested a booking, or made clear they want to move forward. These are the most valuable leads in your pipeline and the ones most sensitive to delay.
Hot leads reward speed above all. Because they are actively deciding, often while contacting competitors, responding within minutes can win the job outright. Systems that flag hot leads and trigger instant follow-up capture business that a slower process would lose.
