Short answer
Lead scoring is ranking leads by their likelihood to buy. Points are assigned based on fit attributes, such as company size or job title, and on behavior, such as website visits or email engagement. Sales and marketing teams use the scores to prioritize follow-up and decide when a lead is ready for sales.
