VIENNA, Va., April 22, 2010 – Scoring online prospective student leads can benefit everyone in the education industry. However, lack of communication or transparency in the lead generation process hinders even the most willing buyer or seller – and ultimately, the prospective student – from finding the best program that fits their educational need.

Time to get down to lead scoring business.
What better place to get down, let alone get the low-down on lead scoring then in sin city 2, New Orleans. Yeah buddy! Combine lead scoring and industry peers with boiled crawfish, shrimp etouffee and world famous Hurricanes from Pat O’s and you have NO excuse not to be at TARGUSinfo’s first annual Scoring Summit.

To really do well with Internet leads you have to do a number of things right. You need to have the right personal, the right lead management process, the right leads, proper tracking and analytics, the right re-marketing campaigns, and slew of other things. With this is mind do you really need to know exactly where the leads are coming from?
As a lead buyer I wanted to know how the leads were being generated, where they were being generated and how many times they were being sold. Today, lead buyers are expressing the same concerns within their conversations about transparency. This is the same discussion that I mentioned last week and it has been going on for years and years. After I wrote last weeks post I sent a quick note to friend Bill Rice:

What is the single most popular topic at a lead generation conference? We could probably even make that a broader question and ask what is the single most popular topic at an online marketing conference? If you just started attending conferences in the last few years you may possibly answer that question by saying, “Lead Scoring”. Well, if you did you would be wrong. However, I do want to talk about lead scoring in this post, I am just not there yet.

Short answers is Yes!
4-5 years ago I came up with my own ways of scoring leads, but mine were macro focused rather then the micro techniques that are being advocated today. I think we all know that some type, and some people may know more specifically what type, of lead scoring needs to be implemented into your lead buying/marketing controls, but most have not implemented any type of real time scoring. For a few years now we have been validating data and in some eyes scoring leads prior to entering our databases, however now more efficient and scientific scoring services are being offered by companies like TargusInfo and eBureau that take into count a number of different data points to predict the likelihood of a lead reaching the point of sale.
