Lead Qualification and Scoring Model
  • Start with a simple scoring model and gradually increase complexity as you collect more conversion data
  • Focus your highest point values on behaviors that most strongly correlate with purchasing, not just engagement
  • Create differentiated follow-up strategies for each scoring tier that respect the consumer’s place in the buying journey
  • Include negative scoring for behaviors that indicate poor fit (e.g., repeated abandonment, interest only in heavily discounted items)
