AUTOMATION / LEAD SCORING

Lead scoring with AI. Not every lead
deserves the same call.

We score every incoming lead by how well it fits your ideal customer and how much buying intent it shows, so your team spends its time on whoever is actually going to buy.

FROM AN UNSORTED LEAD TO THE LISTIllustrated process

What makes a lead good.

We work with you to define which variables really matter for your business: sector, budget, urgency or behaviour.

Illustrative process. Scope depends on how many fit and behaviour variables you can give us today.

WHAT WE DELIVER

A list that ranks
who to call first.

It's not a note or a separate spreadsheet: it's a score with its reason, built into where your team already works each lead.

Prioritise my leads

WHEN IT MAKES SENSE

When the team calls
in order of arrival.

01

A full CRM with no clear priority

There are dozens of open leads and the team calls whoever came in last, not whoever is most likely to buy.

02

Long, expensive sales cycles

Every follow-up call costs real time, and chasing someone who was never going to buy gets very expensive.

03

Marketing generates, sales discards

Plenty of contacts come in from campaigns, but the sales team doesn’t know which ones are worth real time.

04

Deciding priority by gut feel

Each rep prioritises by their own judgement, and two people on the same team would call different leads first.

WHAT CHANGES IN PRACTICE

Lead scoring is about ranking the contacts you already have by likelihood to buy, not about generating or contacting anyone new.

A lead scoring system scores every contact using two kinds of variable: fit — sector, size, stated budget — and behaviour — pages viewed, forms filled, response time. With those variables it calculates a score and shows it next to the lead inside the CRM, so the list of open contacts appears already ranked by likelihood to buy, not by order of arrival.

Lead scoring doesn't replace sales judgement: it sorts the list before anyone uses it. The score always comes with the reason behind it — why that lead outscores another — so the team can trust the order without treating it as a black box. And the model isn't left fixed from day one: it gets reviewed against real closed deals from the first months, because what predicts well today can change as more data comes in.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START

The important part,
explained well.

Scoring a lead badly costs more than not scoring any of them. Here are the six things worth getting clear before letting a model sort your list.

What exactly does lead scoring do, and what does it not do?

Lead scoring scores the leads you already have based on their fit with your ideal customer and their real behaviour, and ranks them inside your CRM. It doesn't generate new leads or contact anyone: that's what lead generation or AI automation does. It also doesn't decide for your team who to close: it hands over the list already ranked, with the reason behind every score, and the final call on who to phone stays with sales.

Can the score get it wrong?

Yes, and it's important to say so clearly: no model predicts with absolute certainty who's going to buy. What it offers is a probability based on fit and behaviour data, more reliable than deciding by gut feel or order of arrival, but not infallible. That's why the model gets reviewed against real closed deals from the first months and adjusted when something stops predicting well, instead of being left fixed forever.

How long does it take to get the model running?

Between 2 and 3 weeks to define the criteria and build a first model with the data you already have in the CRM. The first version is a reasonable hypothesis, not a final model: it takes 1 to 2 months of real closed deals to calibrate it with your own data instead of generic assumptions. From there it gets reviewed periodically.

What happens if the model ranks a lead badly?

The team still sees every lead, ranked but never hidden, so nothing gets lost to a wrong score. When we detect that the model is systematically undervaluing a type of lead — say, a sector that actually converts well but scores low — we adjust the model's variables or weights using the real data that shows it. It's not about getting it right the first time, it's about correcting quickly when the data says to.

Which of my lead data gets used for scoring?

We use the data you already have in your CRM and on your website: contact source, pages viewed, forms filled in, and business details the lead themselves provided. No external databases are bought or cross-referenced to fill out the profile. We configure the model inside your own account, with your own access, respecting the legal basis and the processing notice that should already exist on your contact forms under GDPR.

What do I need to get started?

You need a CRM with some lead history and, ideally, some past closed deals: the more real cases there are, the better the model calibrates from the start. If you don't have history, it can still be built using fit criteria and refined later with the first closed deals. The first step is a one-hour working session to define with you what makes a lead good for your business.
