How to Build a Lead Scoring Model That Actually Predicts Revenue
Most lead scoring is arbitrary. Here's how to build a data-driven model using behavioral signals, firmographic data, and engagement.
If your lead scoring assigns 10 points for 'visited pricing page', you're doing it wrong. Arbitrary point assignments produce scores that don't correlate with revenue. Data-driven scoring uses historical conversion data to weight each signal proportionally.
The model building process starts with your closed-won deals. Analyze which behavioral signals (page visits, email opens, content downloads, product usage) and firmographic attributes (company size, industry, tech stack) were present in deals that closed. Then weight each signal by its actual predictive power.
