We are a small post series A start up at the GTM phase. Currently one seller, soon to be 2.
I envisage that all leads that submit a demo form will automatically be marketing qualified, leads that come via a gated content asset will be a lead until they reach a certain score and will then be passed through to the sellers.
Yes, sellers could assign themselves leads but the whole point of having Hubspot as a CRM and markerting automation is to do this via workflow automation
