Q11157 - INFO: Customizing the Lead Qualification Criteria

Summary
Each lead can be rated by answering a series of questions. This automatically generates a Lead Qualification graph showing where the lead falls on a scale of 0 to 5 (Cold/Hot).  These lead qualification questions can be customized upon request.

  • BLUE – This denotes that the lead is COLD. The leads with rating > 0 and rating < 2.5 will be shown with BLUE colored stars.
  • YELLOW – This denotes that the lead is WARM. The leads with rating >= 2.5 and rating < 4 will be shown with YELLOW colored stars.
  • RED – This denotes that the lead is HOT. The leads with rating >= 4 will be shown with RED colored stars.

More Information
The application allows up to 50 characters for each answer.  Also note the application always adds a default answer of “Unknown” for each question.

Both question and answer has a weight associated with it which is used while calculating the rating.

Rules for criteria:

·         Max number of questions – 10

·         Max number of answers – 5 (for each question)

Rules for weights:

·         Question Weight – in the range of 0 to 100 (multiples of 5) and total of weights for all questions must be 100.

·         Answer Weight – in the range of 0 to 5, where 1 means least important and 5 means most important.

Note that as a result of a change in qualification criteria, all questions are reset to an answer of "Unknown" and the lead is shown as “Not Rated”.
