Tag: Lead Scoring

Lead Scoring assigns numerical values to prospects based on actions, attributes, or both. It estimates engagement and readiness within a defined marketing or sales process.

A scoring model adds or removes points when prospects interact with emails, forms, websites, events, or other tracked channels. A higher score reflects stronger observed engagement, not a guaranteed purchase.

Teams use Lead Scoring in marketing automation and CRM systems to rank prospects, set qualification thresholds, trigger handoffs, and focus follow-up.

Lead grading is related but measures fit against an ideal customer profile. In simple terms, scoring measures behavior, while grading measures suitability.
