What does a marketing-to-sales handoff mean?

Table 1What does a marketing-to-sales handoff mean?

Object	Question it answers	Example record	Error when it is merged
Release	What work did marketing make available?	Qualified lead released at 09:04	A created record is mistaken for accepted work
Qualification	Why was the work eligible for release?	ICP, need, region, and consent rule	A later rejection is called a routing failure
Acceptance	Did sales accept responsibility under the rule?	Accepted by AE-Alpha at 09:30	Silence is counted as acceptance
Response	Was a qualifying first action recorded inside the clock?	Call or email with timestamp and purpose	Activity count becomes service quality
Exception	Why was the standard path not used?	Duplicate, out of territory, or missing field	Returned work disappears from the denominator
Outcome	What happened after the interface?	Opportunity, nurture, disqualification, or no record	Handoff is credited with a commercial result
