Definition

Suspect: A contact who might be a fit but hasn't yet engaged or been qualified — the earliest stage before lead or prospect.

Example

A new sender in your inbox from a target company is a suspect until they engage.

Why it matters

Tracking suspects lets you nurture early relationships without cluttering the pipeline.
