Lead scoring via conditional logic — without CRM cost
Enterprise CRMs sell lead scoring as a premium feature for 80 USD per user per month. But the logic itself is trivial — three to five factors, summed or multiplied, done. You do not need Marketo, you need a calculation engine in the form.
Concrete score model: company size (1-10 staff = 1 point, 11-50 = 3, 51-250 = 7, above 250 = 10), budget (no budget = 0, under 5k = 2, 5-25k = 6, above 25k = 10), timing (in 12+ months = 1, in 3-12 months = 5, in under 3 months = 10). Sum it up and you get a score between 3 and 30. You set the thresholds: above 20 = hot, 10-19 = warm, below 10 = cold.
For you as sales lead that means: hot leads webhook straight to an account executive — with Slack ping and a calendar-slot suggestion. Warm leads land in the SDR queue. Cold leads go into a nurture sequence. Your SDR team stops wasting hours on leads that will never buy — and you save the CRM premium licenses.
