By leveraging thousands of data points, lead scoring software auto-scores the viability of leads coming in and assigns a ranking. This streamlines the lead management process which saves your sales team time, prioritizes efforts, and improves sales efficiency through automation.
There's a lot to consider when choosing lead scoring software, each platform has its own model and level of complexity, so we went through and found the top 10 platforms available now. The following factors were used to assess which lead scoring software made the cut: we focussed on model and flexibility, price (value for money), online third-party reviews, ease of use, and any extra features.
Ortto
G2 Score: 4.5/5
Free option: Ortto offers free trials for 14 days so you can experience the whole platform.Price: Self serve plan starts at $99 per month which includes 2,000 contacts
Ortto’s lead scoring software is highly customizable, allowing you to set up points-based scoring models for leads, customers and product engagement, using any attributes, filters or activities you choose from your CDP. By assigning emojis for different score types, you can easily differentiate between scoring models to prioritize your leads.
When setting up your lead scoring, Ortto offers the functionality of selecting a half-life (i.e. the score degrades over time) however, unlike other platforms, the half-life will only be applied to Activities, not Filters. This means that demographic or firmographic information used in Scores will not degrade over time. For example, if a lead is a CMO that information will be just as relevant in 6 months as it is today, where an Activity like opening an email becomes less relevant over time. In Ortto you can apply a Filter so it does not degrade over time
You are also able to set up different scoring models for different types of lead qualifications. For example, you can have a score for leads based on Buyer fit and another score for Purchase intent. In a Buyer fit score, you would use demographic and firmographic information using filters, meaning the score would not degrade over time. A Purchase intent score would likely be more reliant on behavioral data using Activities, which do degrade over time.
Once your lead scoring attributes are defined, you can automate the perfect lead journey where your sales team is automatically directed to hot leads. Then, using Ortto's analytics software, you can more accurately measure the ROI by analyzing which channels and programs are producing the highest quality leads.
Ortto also offers a lot more than lead scoring software, the powerful CDP and marketing automation platform enables you to consolidate your tech stack, combine your customer data with marketing automation, meaning you can see a complete 360-degree view of your customers and leads.
