Build a bigger pipeline faster with Einstein Lead Scoring.

Seize your most promising leads first with Einstein Lead Scoring. Einstein automatically prioritises the leads most likely to close based on your deal history.

Leads values can be difficult to interpret and until recently, there was no effective way to filter out futile leads. As a business owner you probably see your sales reps everyday sifting through an ocean of leads and making decisions based on criteria like region or target vertical or size of the company. With Sales Cloud Einstein, there is a far more effective way to do this. Einstein Lead Scoring, one of the key features of Sales Cloud Einstein, significantly improves lead conversion.  It uses AI to automatically evaluate your previous sales data and discover the key factors that determine the likelihood that a lead will convert to an opportunity. Your reps can then segment and prioritize leads, and get deeper insight into the factors that determine why certain leads are more likely to convert than others. Each lead shows up those factors, helping sales reps prepare better for each call. It’s like having a personal data scientist to super charge your conversion rates.

Data Science That Works Automatically

Einstein Lead Scoring has inbuilt machine learning algorithms that are intuitive and self-evolving and enhance the accuracy of your predictions. For instance, based on your CRM data, Einstein can automatically discover that CTOs in a certain domain, who are public about CRM technology, are great leads. And Einstein doesn’t just discover the insight, but it predicts the likelihood of conversion with an intelligent lead score. And it provides direct insight into how it determined the score.

How Einstein Lead Scoring Works

Einstein Lead Scoring models are tailored for each customer. Einstein does this by analyzing all fields attached to the Lead object, then attempts a variety of predictive models. It automatically selects the most appropriate one based on a sample dataset. There is no need for a dedicated data scientist as Einstein does all the heavy lifting by finding the most appropriate model to boost lead conversion. Models are updated regularly to ensure you have the most accurate predictions for your leads. Einstein scores leads every hour using the latest model. So if there is any change in one of your leads, the lead’s score will be updated within the hour.
