How Einstein Lead Scoring Works

How Einstein Lead Scoring Works

Not all leads are created equal. And they can’t be accurately scored with arbitrary details, either. Not all clicks, opens, and form fills have the same value for every lead every time. Just because a lead visits your Careers page doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t still a hot prospect.

Lead scoring tools and models aren’t all created equal, either.

Einstein Lead Scoring with Sales Cloud Einstein is a key capability built on the backbone of artificial intelligence to help sales reps convert more leads, faster. Automatically analyzing your historical sales data and discovering the top factors that determine whether a lead is likely to convert into an account or opportunity, sales reps can segment and prioritize leads and their work.

Einstein Lead Scoring models are customized to fit each customer’s unique needs, ensuring that the models are tailored to their specific business. How does it work? Einstein Lead Scoring analyzes all standard and custom fields attached to the Lead object, and tests various predictive models, such as Logistic Regression, Random Forests, and Naive Bayes. It then automatically selects the best model based on a sample dataset. You don’t need to be an expert in statistics or mathematics because Sales Cloud Einstein has done the heavy lifting by finding the best model to optimize lead conversion.

To ensure the most accurate predictions for your leads, the models are updated monthly. Plus, leads are scored every hour using the latest model. If anything changes with one of your leads, it will be rescored within the next hour. With Einstein Lead Scoring, you can confidently prioritize your leads and focus on the ones that are most likely to convert into customers.

The factors Einstein Lead Scoring uses to score leads are displayed on the lead record page, helping sales reps prepare for each and every call or email quickly.

The real magic behind Einstein Lead Scoring is the machine learning that continually improves the accuracy of its predictions. If Einstein discovers based on your latest Salesforce data that VPs in a certain industry who view demos are hot leads, it will rescore all leads matching that criteria automatically.

The Top Benefits of Einstein Lead Scoring are:

  • Increased connection and conversion rates
  • Accelerated engagement with your best leads
  • Understanding of lead scoring factors
  • The top features of Einstein Lead Scoring are:
  • Zero Setup – no implementation or extra tools or import/export of data
  • Custom Lead Score-Driven Workflows – easy task assignment based on predictive lead scores
  • Smart Lead Lists – The best leads are sent to the top of your reps’ contact lists quickly

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Mike and his team were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Mike and his team at Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to Mike’s credit for imparting his wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Mike Leibrand has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Mike has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. He is timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Mike and his team at Summit Tech made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit Tech, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). Mike is a pro, from his accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, he never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way he took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Mike and his team.
