Not all leads are created equal. If your sales team is spending hours chasing cold signups, you are losing revenue. Setting up **lead scoring rules and frameworks in your CRM** allows you to evaluate prospect value automatically based on behavioral and demographic data, routing only the hottest leads to your sales reps.
Designing a Lead Scoring Model
Assign positive or negative points to prospects based on actions they take:
- Positive Score Metrics: Visiting pricing pages, downloading case studies, opening emails, or matching target job titles.
- Negative Score Metrics: Using free email domains (Gmail/Yahoo for B2B), unsubscribing, or inactivity.
