WE CAN ALL AGREE...

NOT ALL LEADS ARE CREATED
EQUAL.
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 4
AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS
TO SCORE & SEGMENT LEADS
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 5
YOU PROBABLY DON’T HAVE
AN ARMY OF DATA SCIENTISTS
(OR EVEN AN ANALYST) TO
HELP OUT.
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 6
EVEN STILL, A SIMPLE
FRAMEWORK CAN HELP YOU
GET STARTED IN JUST ONE
DAY.
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 7
YES, ONE DAY.
LET’S GET STARTED.
CREATE 4 LEAD SEGMENTS
BASED ON FIT &
ENGAGEMENT

FIT
(Demographics&Firmographics)
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 10
• High fit, but not engaged or showing signs of intent
• Try phone calls or off-site retargeting to win-back interest
1. DRUM UP INTEREST.
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 11
• The ideal customer – high fit & highly engaged
• When resources are tight, this is the segment you put above the rest.
Leverage high touch campaigns.
2. TOP PRIORITY
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 12
• Low fit (doesn’t fit target criteria) & not showing signs of intent
• Remove from funnel or nurture with automated campaigns
3. NOT A GOOD FIT
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 13
• Lower fit, but they are showing signs of engagement
• Move them through the funnel with limited resources – automated
campaigns & self-service
4. LOW TOUCH

LIST OF PARAMETERS
CORRELATED WITH FIT &
ENGAGEMENT

FIT ENGAGEMENT
The Golden Rule: Start simple & iterate over time.
Draft parameters based on your hypotheses of what impacts lead quality and then validate
with opportunity creation and win-rate analyses based on ~6 months of data. Don’t have
clean data? Invest in a one-time data enrichment.

THEN, ASSIGN POINT VALUES
FOR HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW
CRITERIA FOR EACH
PARAMETER

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Rolling out lead segmentation in 5 simple steps.
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 19
Using 6 month data set, assign determined point values per individual
lead
STEP 1
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 20
Sum scores to determine fit & engagement score per lead & analyze
distribution of fit & engagement scores across data set
STEP 2
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 21
Use median score as initial threshold of high vs. low fit & engagement
STEP 3
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 22
Analyze historical win-rate for 4 segments to validate whether scores
indicate quality & fit
STEP 4
Proprietary and Confidential ©2017 OpenView Investments, LLC. All Rights Reserved 23
If segmentation passes initial validation, roll-out segments (ideally
automated) & test SDR/Marketing segment-specific campaigns
STEP 5
