Company history

SiriusDecisions was founded in 2001 by current managing directors John Neeson and Richard Eldh.

SiriusDecisions has helped define many business marketing best practices and concepts, including lead scoring and marketing operations. Since 2005, the company's "Demand Waterfall" model, which was updated in 2012, has been used by marketers to analyze their lead qualification process, from the inquiry stages through closed sales. The model introduced prominent B2B marketing terms, including marketing qualified lead (MQL) and sales qualified lead (SQL).

SiriusDecisions announced January 8, 2014, that it had received an investment from JMI Equity.

Along with its Wilton headquarters, the company has offices in London, Montreal, San Francisco and Waltham, Massachusetts.
