What's in this template
7 connected components you can rename, recolor, and extend with AI.
A lead generation flow diagram shows how a prospect becomes a qualified, sales-ready lead. The central flow connects acquisition channels and the steps that follow: a landing page capture form, lead scoring, list segmentation, nurture emails, and the MQL-to-SQL handoff into the CRM.
Demand gen marketers and growth teams use this flow when designing campaigns, auditing conversion drop-off, and aligning marketing with sales. It clarifies which channels feed the funnel, where automation rules fire, and the exact threshold at which a marketing-qualified lead is handed to a rep, reducing leakage between teams.
