SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, 2022 — Qualified, the #1 pipeline generation platform for revenue teams that use Salesforce, announced 400% revenue growth and a 150% net revenue retention rate for Fiscal Year 2022.

As Qualified’s momentum continues to grow, the team looks to expand further in Fiscal Year 2023.
In the last year, Qualified continued to expand its suite of products, both old and new, to help enterprise organizations generate pipeline. Qualified deployed the next generation of its flagship product, Qualified X, along with our Xforce platform, and new Signals product. Together, this suite of products grows team’s pipeline by tapping into their greatest sales and marketing asset—their corporate website —to identify their most valuable buyers, uncover signals of buyer intent, and instantly start sales conversations.
