Machine Learning Based Lead Scoring of CRM Prospects For Financial Companies

Our Data Science team has built a proprietary framework with which we monitor customers' buying habits, online activity and other behavioral attributes and interpret these metrics to come up with predictive lead scores. Here's how we do it:1. We start with what you know, leveraging CRM dataYou probably know some things about your leads: which campaigns they’ve seen, where they clicked and what they filled on your form. We leverage this valuable data to start building your predictive model. Further, if they have accounts with you in other forms, you know their persona in terms of how much disposable income they may have. Or what their age is. And what their relative outlook towards life is. If you don’t, we'll write profiling algorithms for you to find just that!Your marketing and content efforts may yield a large quantity of leads, but unfortunately, the vast majority of them will not end up as buyers. While marketing automation platforms help you collect more behavioral information than ever, it’s still hard to identify likely buyers. Your marketing and CRM data can deliver valuable insights provided the following major challenges are addressed:

  • Limited number of variables: the average company CRM has only 10 demographic variables, which typically include Name, Location, Industry, Revenue and Number of Employees.
  • Messy data: CRM data comes from multiple sources, making the same data points appear in various formats.
  • Incomplete/Inaccurate data: most marketers collect limited information via web forms to reduce drop rates at landing pages. As a result, records have only partial data, which is often inaccurate.
  • Outdated records: marketing databases degrade quickly.

We've developed sophisticated algorithms for cleansing and completing your data. The result of this process is a highly accurate and standardized database of your records, which then becomes a solid foundation for predictive lead scoring modeling.2. We add what we knowWe collect and continuously update data points on every single lead from the Internet. This information includes your customers’ social media posts, professional networks, government records that are public etc. This is matched with what we have on the database and associations of past behavior of similarly matched profiles.
