Here are the details:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-build-your-lead-scoring-around-a-representative-variable\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-build-your-lead-scoring-around-a-representative-variable\"><\/span>1. Build your lead scoring around a representative variable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The idea is to find a variable that allows you to estimate a prospect&#8217;s potential shopping basket fairly accurately. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/crm\/cost-sales-crm\/\">cost of CRM software<\/a> is very closely linked to the number of CRM users. <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/crm\/crm-software\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"173\" title=\"crm software\">CRM software<\/a> publishers will therefore often try to estimate the size of the sales team. This also works for tools other than CRM.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/cold-calling\/ip-telephony-solutions\/\">an IP telephony solution<\/a>, you need to know how many people work in your office, do you have one or several etc. Your marketing budget, on the other hand, is defined according to your turnover, the channels on which you wish to implement your strategy, etc. Each cost must be calculated according to a specific cost. Each cost must be calculated according to a variable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-build-your-lead-scoring-around-the-prospects-profile\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-build-your-lead-scoring-around-the-prospects-profile\"><\/span>2. Build your lead scoring around the prospect&#8217;s profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first method is certainly the most solid, but it is sometimes difficult to implement (sale of services, great diversity of products or services offered, etc.). A good practice is to define a few typical personas (ideally between 3 and 5), which have a different value potential. Your personas will have, in addition to their potential, two or three easily identifiable traits. For example, if you create websites, you will often be dealing with :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solo-preneurs who are just starting out in the business. They will often not have a company, professional email, etc.<\/li>\n<li>SMEs with between 2 and 10 employees, and a turnover of more than 1 million.<\/li>\n<li>Or more established companies with a turnover of over 10M and a well-built team around them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the first case, you are dealing with a founder, the one who has created his own company.<\/li>\n<li>In the second case, you often approach the general manager or a marketing &amp; sales manager.<\/li>\n<li>In the third and final case, there will be a well-established marketing department and a whole team around it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is then up to you to estimate the potential value of each of these three personas, based on your history. The challenge is to obtain the information early enough to be able to prioritise your sales efforts. If the qualification of these elements is done over the phone by one of your sales representatives, it is already too late.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-dont-forget-to-include-growth-potential-in-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-dont-forget-to-include-growth-potential-in-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span>3.

It is important to consider the growth potential of a new customer. This is the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/account-based-marketing\/\">ABM (Account Based Marketing)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ABM focuses primarily on a small number of high-value prospects that you will seek to engage. This allows you to focus your marketing efforts. And that&#8217;s why consultancies and service providers often focus on &#8216;large accounts&#8217;. Simply put, they look at the size of the company (in terms of number of employees or revenue, depending on the business).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-estimate-the-probability-of-converting-a-prospect-for-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-estimate-the-probability-of-converting-a-prospect-for-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span>#2 Estimate the probability of converting a prospect for your lead scoring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have estimated a prospect&#8217;s potential, let&#8217;s move on to the prospect&#8217;s conversion probability for your lead scoring:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-measuring-engagement-with-your-communication\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-measuring-engagement-with-your-communication\"><\/span>1. Measuring engagement with your communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the best way to measure a prospect&#8217;s engagement. The key is to identify the activity of your prospects on your website: you need to know what they have seen, and what they have not. This allows you to exclude the curious, (those who visit the a-propos, press, on-recruit pages, etc.) and focus on the prospects who are genuinely interested in your solution (those who visit the pricing, solutions, case studies, etc. pages).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this often involves using fairly advanced tools to identify visitors to your website. There are increasingly affordable tools for identifying your subscribers (Sendinblue for example, from \u00a349 per month), and increasingly affordable tools for <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/account-based-marketing\/identify-anonymous-b2b-visitors\/\">identifying prospects who have not yet contacted you<\/a>. You can also stick to more basic elements to start with, such as :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email openings<\/li>\n<li>Answers to non-mandatory questions in your contact form.<\/li>\n<li>Subscription to your newsletter etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-integrate-the-ideal-customer-profile-icp-into-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-integrate-the-ideal-customer-profile-icp-into-your-lead-scoring\"><\/span>2.

This will allow you to focus your efforts on the prospects with the highest potential. To define your ICP, follow these three important steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which customers do you provide the most value to?<\/li>\n<li>Which customers bring you the most value?<\/li>\n<li>Create a list of your best customers to find the commonalities between them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-bant-qualification-lead-scoring\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-bant-qualification-lead-scoring\"><\/span>3.

What could be better than knowing whether or not a prospect is ready to make a purchase? With this method, you can qualify and score a potential customer. How can you do this?
