Lead scoring · Sales
Give every enquiry a number that actually predicts whether it will close.
Many CRMs have a lead score field that nobody trusts, because it was set up once with a guess at what matters and never checked against what actually closed. A scoring model that does not reflect reality is worse than no score at all, since it gives false confidence to a ranking that does not mean anything.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Lead scoring is a framework of criteria and weights, built from what has closed before, that ranks new enquiries by likely fit so a team knows where to focus. GullySales designs the criteria with your team, builds the model into your CRM, and checks it regularly against real outcomes rather than leaving it to run unchecked.
We build the scoring framework from your own history: which sources, product interests and behaviours have actually predicted a close in the past. Those factors are weighted and configured directly in your CRM, so every new enquiry gets ranked automatically. We calibrate the model regularly against what happens next, and adjust it when it is wrong.
This is the framework, the criteria and weights behind a lead score.
The problem
Does this sound like your business?
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“The team ranks leads by gut feel, and that feel changes person to person.”
One rep's sense of a strong lead differs from another's, so priority depends on who is looking at the list.
“A scoring field exists but nobody agreed what should feed it.”
The CRM has a score column, populated by a rule someone set up once and nobody has revisited since.
“High-value leads and hobbyist enquiries carry the same weight.”
Without a model, a serious buyer and someone idly comparing prices show up identically in the queue.
What we do
Everything that is included.
Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.
Scoring criteria and weights
A defined set of factors, source, product interest, behaviour, budget signal, weighted based on what has actually predicted a close.
CRM configuration
The scoring model built directly into your CRM so every new enquiry is ranked automatically on arrival.
Calibration against outcomes
The model checked against what actually happened to scored leads, not left to run on an untested assumption.
Rep training
The team briefed on what the score means and how to use it, so it is trusted and actually changes behaviour.
Score visibility
The score displayed clearly wherever a rep looks at a lead, so priority is obvious without extra effort.
How the result is measured
- Leads scored consistently on arrival
- Score accuracy against actual outcomes
- Conversion rate by score band
- Recalibrations completed on schedule
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Who it is for
This is written for you if these sound familiar.
- Businesses with a lead score field in their CRM that nobody actually trusts or uses
- Companies with enough historical data to know, roughly, what a strong enquiry looks like
- Sales teams ranking leads by gut feel, which varies from person to person
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have very little historical data on what has closed in the past; a model built on guesswork is not reliable enough yet
- Your enquiry volume is very low; a person can reasonably judge each one directly without a scoring model
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the lead scoring work runs
- 1
Gather historical data
We look at past enquiries and what actually closed, to ground the model in evidence rather than assumption.
- 2
Design criteria and weights
Factors that genuinely predicted a close are identified and weighted into a usable scoring formula.
- 3
Build into the CRM
The model is configured to score every new enquiry automatically as it arrives.
- 4
Validate against results
We check whether high-scored leads are actually converting more often, and adjust the model if not.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
