You asked

Why are good leads not being qualified correctly?

Leads are coming in but scoring or qualification feels off.

Symptom

At 1,420 leads and a cost per lead of $61, both headline metrics point in the right direction.

Cause

The mechanism is incremental adjustment.

Impact

When cost per lead falls but acceptance rate falls faster, the cost per real opportunity — the leads sales will actually work — rises.
