AI Lead Scoring

AI Lead Scoring ranks your incoming leads so you spend time on the ones most likely to convert. Navigate to Admin > AI > Leads to see scored leads.

How Scoring Works

CE Pro evaluates each lead against multiple signals and assigns a score. The scoring model considers:

SignalWhy It Matters
Property sizeLarger properties tend to produce higher-value jobs
Number of services requestedMulti-service inquiries signal serious buyers
Viewing behaviorLeads who view the estimate multiple times are more engaged
Returning customerPast customers convert at higher rates
Referral sourceReferrals close more often than cold leads
Contact completenessLeads who provide phone, email, and address are more serious
Response speedLeads who reply quickly to outreach are more engaged
Estimated valueHigher-value estimates deserve prioritized attention

The model combines these signals into an overall score and assigns a tier.


Score Tiers

Every lead receives one of four tiers:

TierIconScore RangeMeaning
HotRed flame80-100High likelihood of converting. Prioritize immediately.
WarmOrange circle60-79Good prospect. Follow up within 24 hours.
CoolBlue circle40-59Moderate interest. Keep in your pipeline but do not rush.
ColdGray circle0-39Low engagement. Follow up if time allows.

Where Scores Appear

Lead scores show up in three places:

  1. Leads table — A score badge appears next to each lead in the main leads list at Admin > Leads.
  2. Pipeline cards — If you use the pipeline view, score badges appear on each card.
  3. AI Leads page — The dedicated page at Admin > AI > Leads lists all scored leads sorted by score.

Using Scores to Prioritize

Follow this workflow each morning:

  1. Open Admin > AI > Leads.
  2. Review all Hot leads first. Call or text them before doing anything else.
  3. Move to Warm leads. Send follow-up messages or schedule appointments.
  4. Check Cool leads for any that have moved up since yesterday.
  5. Review Cold leads weekly. Move stale ones to Lost if they have not responded.

Assigning Reps Based on Scores

If you have multiple salespeople, route Hot leads to your best closer. This maximizes conversion on your highest-potential opportunities.

Go to the lead detail page and use the Assigned Rep dropdown to reassign. See Managing Leads for details.


Score Changes Over Time

Scores update automatically as new signals come in. A Cool lead that views the estimate three times and replies to a follow-up may jump to Warm or Hot.

Check the AI Leads page daily to catch leads that have moved up in score.


Tips

  • Do not ignore Warm leads. They are one good interaction away from becoming Hot.
  • Speed matters most for Hot leads. Contact them within the first hour if possible.
  • Use scores alongside your instincts. A lead with a Cool score but a large property and specific service requests may still be worth pursuing aggressively.
  • Track your results. Compare close rates for each tier over time. If Hot leads are not converting at a higher rate, review the scoring signals with your team.
