If you sell high-value products and services, your customers will likely go through a lengthy consideration process before they commit and become a customer. You need to know which leads are ready to be passed on to your sales team and which need to be nurtured further through the buying cycle.
This guide will introduce you to the different ways you can score your leads and how you can classify them against your ideal buyer profiles. You’ll then be taken through the steps you need to take to implement lead scoring with your sales team to make them more efficient.
Our guide shows you how to break down your buying cycle and assign scores to specific behaviour. These scores will help you build an idea of how customers navigate through your site and the decisions they make before buying from your company.
You’ll learn how to use explicit and implicit information when lead scoring, the different types of leads that you’ll commonly find and what progressive profiling options are available, so you can make gathering information from your customers easier.
We have created this guide for marketers who are part of sales and/or marketing teams to improve the communication between them and minimise wasted time. Sales teams will learn how to efficiently convert quality leads and marketing teams will learn how to streamline lead management, ensuring the sales team only receive viable prospects.
