Getting Started With ActiveDEMAND Lead Scoring Software

Note: Lead scoring is only available in the Corporate Marketer package

Lead scoring in ActiveDEMAND is a powerful subsystem that allows you to customise lead scoring to fit your particular sales/marketing model.

Basics

Lead scoring for any contact is a number between 0 and 100 (the lowest being zero, the highest being 100). The lead score accumulates and is reduced either by manually editing the lead score on a Contact, or automatically as the prospect engages with marketing assets. The concept is simple, as a contact engages, the lead score can potentially go up or down.

Basic Concepts:

Contact Lead scores are between 0 and 100
Lead scores are a calculated total of individual history transaction scores (including modifiers ... see score multipliers below)
Lead scores can be manually adjusted
Lead score changes are not stored, only the current total for a Contact is available
Organisation lead scores are an aggregate average of the organisation accumulation

In ActiveDEMAND, anything a prospect does that is tracked creates a Contact History object. All contact history objects can be viewed on a contact's timeline. Each history item creation can have an impact on the lead score.



The lead score accumulates as the prospect engages with assets (and hence creates scored contact history items). The basic process of lead scoring in ActiveDEMAND is based on a default set of lead scores assigned to each contact history item.

Default Lead Score

The defaults can be viewed on the lead score admin page (Administration->Lead Scoring). To change the default history lead scores, click on the number to edit the element.

Lead Score Erosion

There is a concept of lead score erosion that can be used to penalise a prospect if they stop engaging with the marketing assets. The erosion is a constant downward pressure on the lead score to ensure the most currently and consistently active prospects maintain a higher lead score.



The erosion is applied to the score on the configured time interval. In the above example, the lead score of all contacts will decrease by 1 every week.

Lead Score Contextual Multiplier

You can adjust the lead score based on a contextual multiplier.



The score of a current history item is multiplied by the queried multiplier when the history item is created.
