How AI Lead Scoring Works
AI analyzes historical data on which leads converted and which didn't. It identifies patterns in demographics, behavior, and engagement. New leads are scored based on how closely they match successful patterns.
Scoring Factors
- Fit: Company size, industry, role
- Behavior: Website visits, content downloads
- Engagement: Email opens, clicks, replies
- Intent signals: Pricing page visits, demo requests
Implementation Steps
- Connect your data sources (CRM, website, email)
- Train model on historical win/loss data
- Set score thresholds for sales handoff
- Monitor and refine based on results
Benefits
Sales teams focus on qualified prospects. Marketing nurtures lower-scoring leads until ready. Higher win rates and shorter sales cycles result from better prioritization.
