Market intelligence with lead scoring
Overview
Designed and implemented a machine learning classification model to score and rank companies within the active customer base. By combining data-driven behavioral patterns with strategic human inputs, the model defined "target companies" to align field sales resources and marketing efforts for conversions
The Challenge
The sales team had a large active customer base with no systematic method for prioritizing outreach. Account selection relied on individual intuition, causing high-potential accounts to be overlooked and low-potential ones to consume disproportionate time, leading to missed opportunities and inefficient resource allocation.
The Solution
Integrated data from sales activity logs, purchase history, geographic variables and human input to build a feature-rich dataset. The model featured a mechanism allowing us to intentionally weight metrics based on sales leaders command, aligning the algorithm with their specific business strategies A supervised classification model was trained to score each account based on that and the output was a ranked list focused on the accounts with the highest conversion and upsell potential.
Results & Impact
Systematic, data-driven account prioritization replacing ad-hoc intuition. Improved alignment between field deployment and revenue opportunity. The model was embedded into the team's regular planning cycle, creating a feedback loop for continuous refinement.
