Contact Scoring

Available on Marketing Plus, Professional, and Enterprise.

Available on Sales Plus, Professional, and Enterprise.

A Contact Score is a numerical value you can assign to your contacts. This value reflects their engagement level with your brand. Contacts can receive points for various actions, such as a page visit, a purchase, a campaign open, and much more. You can adjust points by adding or subtracting them and setting them to expire after a specific period. 


Contact scoring is the perfect tool for marketers to use to identify their most engaged contacts. You can use Contact Scoring to:

  • Identify contacts’ interests and begin targeted follow-up with relevant offers
  • Increase or decrease the frequency of sending based on how engaged a contact is
  • Identify contacts who are a good match for your product/service who have not engaged and move them into nurturing automations

Deal Scoring

Available on Sales Plus, Professional, and Enterprise.

A Deal Score assigns a numerical value to an open deal. This value depends on actions (or inactions) taken by a lead and can help you focus on your high-value deals. You can award points for various actions, such as a contact achieving a goal, a lead visiting your page, a deal reaching a certain stage, and much more. You can adjust points by adding or subtracting them and setting them to expire after a specific period.

Using deal scoring helps you and your sales team focus on closing the highest-value deals. It also gives you insight into deals that are less likely to close.

You can use Deal Scoring to: 

  • Profile leads as they move through your pipeline
  • Find high-value leads based on actions
  • Search for deals by deal score using an advanced filter
