Lead scoring

Lead scoring ranks individual people, usually after they have engaged through a form fill, an event, or a trial, by how likely they are to convert. It operates on person-level behavior and demographics.

It is distinct from account scoring, which ranks whole companies before any contact. Mature teams run both: the account score decides which companies deserve pursuit, and the lead score prioritizes the specific people within them.

Reel placeholder. Real cut coming soon.
