What is Lead Scoring?

Lead scoring is an analytical method of ranking your Account leads against a scale. Higher the lead score, better chance you have of converting the lead to a customer. The scoring of the leads is done based on real facts such as Opened email, link clicked on a marketing email, added or removed from a group etc. It gives you an idea of which lead is more active and has a better chance of closing.
