Why is Lead Grading important?
Lead Grading allows you to validate information on your leads by running checks on system fields set on your lead type.
You are able to run grading on the following fields:
Address – Ensures that the address is deliverable.
Phone – Ensures that the phone number is registered with a telecom service provider.
Email – Ensures that the email address is registered with an email service provider.
IP Address – Checks to make sure that the IP is tied to the Address.
Comments – Make sure that the comments section has information input.
Note: For the Address check in lead grading to pass, it's necessary to include the complete mailing address, including system fields such as Address, City, State, Zip, and Country. Otherwise, the verification will not succeed.
You are able to set up a custom grading scale with each letter grade allowing you to have leads follow certain routes.
LeadExec will then show the grade of the lead inside of the reporting screens.
