1 What are lead scoring models?

Lead scoring models are a way of quantifying the value and potential of each lead in your pipeline. They are based on a set of criteria and rules that you define according to your ideal customer profile, your buyer personas, and your sales goals. Lead scoring models can include both demographic and firmographic data, such as industry, company size, job title, location, etc., as well as behavioral data, such as website visits, email opens, content downloads, webinar attendance, etc. The more a lead matches your criteria and shows interest in your solution, the higher their score will be.

One thing I've found useful when using lead-scoring models is that if you have the right CRM with the right automation it can be a game changer. Here's how: Using scoring systems, and assuming you have a good CRM you can set up scores that automatically trigger tasks such as "Follow up on X lead after proposal was opened/clicked" (High scores) or "Call this contact who's been on Proposal sent for 2 weeks now" (Low score). This type of automation cusing scoring systems can help you stay on top of your deals and not only that, but helps you know how to prioritize based on how likely they are to close or how soon they want to move forward. Hope this helps :)

2 Why are lead scoring models important?

Lead scoring models are important because they help you segment your leads and prioritize your sales activities. By using lead scoring models, you can identify which leads are more likely to buy, which leads need more nurturing, and which leads are not worth pursuing. This way, you can save time, resources, and energy by focusing on the leads that have the highest probability of closing. Lead scoring models also help you align your sales and marketing teams, as they provide a common language and a clear definition of what constitutes a qualified lead.

3 How to create lead scoring models?

To create effective lead scoring models, you need to follow a few steps. First, you need to define your ideal customer profile and your buyer personas, which are the characteristics and traits of your ideal buyers. Second, you need to determine the criteria and rules that will determine the score of each lead, such as demographic and firmographic data, behavioral data, and negative factors that lower the score. Third, you need to assign points or weights to each criterion and rule, based on their importance and relevance for your sales process. Fourth, you need to test and refine your lead scoring models, by analyzing their performance and accuracy, and making adjustments as needed.

It is important to note that scoring leads, without having a decent amount of leads that have gone through a full sales cycle (somewhere from 10-100 closed deals, maybe even 1000 depending on your price point & market), it is almost impossible to develop an impactful lead scoring process. If you're still launching and/or closing your first few deals, focus your attention on tracking every bit of deal/pipeline movement, and the action(s) that facilitated that deal moving stages, in your CRM. Doing this will help you aggregate/analyze the data and make correlations needed to form an accurate lead-scoring model for your business.

4 How to use lead scoring models to close deals?

Once you have created your lead scoring models, you can use them to close more deals and increase your conversion rate. Prioritize outreach and follow-up with leads with the highest scores, as they are most likely to buy. Personalize messages that address their pain points and needs, and offer value and solutions. For leads with lower scores, use lead nurturing strategies like content marketing, social media, webinars, etc. to provide valuable information and stimulate their interest. Monitor their behavior and responses to adjust lead scoring models. Lead scoring models can also help optimize the sales process by providing insights on leads' behavior, preferences, and needs. Additionally, they can be used to measure and evaluate sales performance, identify gaps/opportunities, optimize sales strategies/tactics, and align sales/marketing teams.

Example of Successful Lead Scoring Models: SaaS company 1 Know your ideal customer profile (ICP). 2 Map your buyer's journey. 3 Mix explicit data(what prospects tell you) + implicit data(reveals their actions) to define scoring. High score:?Downloaded white paper on a specific product, watched a product demo video, filled out a detailed contact form. Requested quote. Medium score:?Signed up for a free trial, visited or interacted with pricing pages, engaged with chat support. Low score:?Downloaded generic brochure, subscribed to the newsletter, only visited the homepage. Interacted with sales e-mails. Regularly review and refine: Your model is a living organism. As your market and customer behavior evolve, your scoring should adapt
