Let’s dive in!

Why Lead Scoring is a Game-Changer for Your Sales Team

Not all leads are created equal. Some are ready to buy, while others need nurturing. Lead scoring helps you:

• Save time by focusing on high-potential leads.
• Increase conversions by responding to hot leads faster.
• Reduce human bias with data-driven prioritization.

For example:

• A lead who opens every email and visits your pricing page is more valuable than one who signs up but never engages.
• A prospect with a high budget and urgent timeline should jump to the top of your follow-up list.

Odoo CRM automates this process, so your team never misses a golden opportunity.

How to Set Up Automated Lead Scoring in Odoo CRM

Step 1: Define Your Scoring Criteria

First, decide what makes a lead "high-priority." Common factors include:

• Engagement Level (Email opens, website visits, demo requests)
• Budget & Authority (Decision-maker status, company size)
• Urgency (Project timeline, "buy now" intent)

Example scoring rules:
✔ +10 points – Opened 3+ emails in a week
✔ +20 points – Visited pricing page 2+ times
✔ +30 points – Filled out a contact form with "urgent" in notes

Step 2: Configure Automated Scoring in Odoo

1. Go to Odoo CRM → Settings → Automation → Lead Scoring.
2. Click "Create a Scoring Rule" and set conditions (e.g., "If lead opens an email, add 5 points").
3. Assign thresholds (e.g., "Score ≥ 50 = Hot Lead").

Step 3: Automate Follow-Ups Based on Score

• Hot Leads (High Score) → Assign to sales reps immediately.
• Warm Leads (Medium Score) → Send nurturing emails.
• Cold Leads (Low Score) → Keep in marketing campaigns.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Odoo’s predictive scoring to let AI adjust scores based on historical conversion data.

Best Practices for Effective Lead Scoring

To get the best results:

1. Start Simple – Focus on 3-5 key criteria first, then refine.
2. Review & Adjust – Update scoring rules quarterly based on what converts.
3. Combine with Segmentation – Use tags to categorize leads (e.g., "Enterprise," "Startup").
4. Train Your Team – Ensure sales reps understand how scoring works.

Real-World Example:
A SaaS company automated lead scoring in Odoo and saw:

• 40% faster response times to high-value leads
• 25% increase in conversions by focusing on hot prospects
