How Einstein Lead Scoring Works in Your Data

Summit Blog Salesforce Commerce Marketing Insights

Einstein Lead Scoring is a powerful tool that empowers sales teams to close more deals, faster. As a feature of Salesforce’s Sales Cloud Einstein platform, it uses artificial intelligence to analyze historical sales data and determine which leads are most likely to convert into customers.

With Einstein Lead Scoring, sales reps can easily identify and prioritize the hottest leads, ensuring that they’re focusing their efforts on the most promising opportunities. The system uses machine learning algorithms to analyze data attached to lead records and identify patterns that may indicate a higher probability of conversion.

Creating a lead scoring model is simple and straightforward, thanks to the system’s automated process. Einstein Lead Scoring analyzes standard and custom fields attached to the Lead object and tests a variety of predictive models, such as Logistic Regression, Random Forests, and Naive Bayes. It then automatically selects the model that performs best on a sample dataset, so there’s no need for a deep understanding of statistical analysis or mathematics.

Models are updated on a monthly basis, ensuring that they remain accurate and relevant. Leads are scored every hour, and if any changes are made to a lead record, it will be rescored within the next hour to reflect those changes. This ensures that businesses have access to the most up-to-date and accurate predictions for their leads, helping them prioritize their efforts and focus on the most promising opportunities.

With Einstein Lead Scoring, sales reps can segment and prioritize leads, and gain insight into the factors that explain why leads are likely to convert or not. The factors are displayed on each lead record, helping sales reps prepare for every call quickly. It’s like giving each rep a personal data scientist to take connection and conversion rates to the next level.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
