What is Lead Scoring?
Lead scoring is the mechanism that ranks leads based on their value to determine when they are ready for sales hand-off. Marketing and sales agree upon the level of interest, attributes, targets, SLAs and dispositioning required to build the ideal lead profile, and in turn have the base for your lead scoring strategy. It is also the mechanism that moves leads through the top of the funnel, acting as the trigger for placing leads into the right nurture at the right time.
