Are you scoring your contacts?
Contact scoring is one of two types of lead scores that you can create in your ActiveCampaign account and is used to evaluate and prioritize the quality of your leads.
In a nutshell, it boosts efficiency, engagement, and conversion rates by focusing efforts where they matter most.
One of the most popular uses of scoring is to optimize your sales process so that your sales team is always focused on the highest quality leads.
You set up a contact score to qualify your leads by assigning a numerical value, comprised of one or more rules that award (or subtract) points from contacts if they meet your conditions.
For example, if you have created a rule that assigns 10 points if a contact is in your metropolitan area and another rule that assigns 10 points if a contact has viewed your pricing information, a contact that matches both rules would have a score of 20 points— double the interest and potential!
Let’s do this together in today’s Task of the Day.

A modal window will appear and ask you which type of lead score to create. Click the “Contact score” option.
