AI Lead Scoring
Using artificial intelligence to automatically rank and prioritize leads based on their likelihood to convert into paying clients.
Definition
AI lead scoring is the use of machine learning and data analysis to assign a numeric score to each prospective client, indicating their likelihood of converting into a paying customer. In the scheduling context, AI lead scoring evaluates signals from the booking process — intake form answers (budget, company size, timeline), booking behavior (how quickly they booked, which service they chose), engagement patterns (opened emails, visited pricing page), and historical data (how similar leads converted in the past). High-scoring leads are prioritized: routed to senior team members, given premium time slots, or fast-tracked in the sales process. Low-scoring leads may enter nurture sequences. This ensures sales time is spent on the most promising opportunities.
Examples of AI Lead Scoring
A prospect who selects 'Enterprise' and '$50K+ budget' on the intake form receives a high lead score and is routed to a senior account executive
A lead who books a demo within 2 hours of visiting the website scores higher than one who took 2 weeks
The AI detects that leads from a particular industry have a 3x higher close rate and adjusts scores accordingly
A low-scoring lead is automatically sent helpful resources instead of being booked with a sales rep
Why AI Lead Scoring Matters
Sales teams waste 50% of their time on leads that will never convert. AI lead scoring focuses attention on high-probability prospects, improving close rates and revenue per sales hour. It removes subjective gut-feel from lead prioritization and replaces it with data-driven ranking.

How does AI lead scoring differ from manual qualification?
Manual qualification depends on a rep's subjective judgment. AI scoring uses data patterns from hundreds or thousands of past leads to assign objective, consistent scores.
Can I customize what factors influence the lead score?
Yes. Configure which intake form questions, behaviors, and signals contribute to the score, and adjust their weighting based on your sales experience.
