What is sales-led marketing?

What changes when sales leads the thinking?
The starting point is the buying decision, not a channel. Who needs the product? What are they using instead? What makes the decision difficult? Marketing and sales work from the same answers.
Positioning establishes the reason to choose. Buyer-specific messaging makes that reason clear. Demand generation opens relevant conversations. Sales enablement helps those conversations continue.
How is it different from collecting leads?
A lead is not a sale. Contact details say little about whether someone understands the offer or can make a decision. The work is connecting attention to qualified demand, then making the next sales conversation useful.
What should you measure?
Agree the commercial objective first. Consider pipeline quality, conversion and customer retention alongside channel activity. Numbers should describe progress towards the sale, not simply how much marketing was produced.
