A qualified request is a certification inquiry from a company that has submitted its details through Audit Advisor and appears to be genuinely interested in certification services.
A request is generally considered qualified when:
- the company is seeking certification or recertification;
- the requested standard is within your accreditation or recognition scope;
- the company’s location and industry are relevant to your services;
- the request includes enough information to prepare an initial quote or ask reasonable follow-up questions;
- the contact details appear valid.
You do not pay for requests that are clearly irrelevant, outside your scope, duplicated, invalid, or not related to a legitimate certification process.
