How Do You Use CRM and MAP Data for Scoring?
Your CRM and marketing automation platform contain the cleanest first-party signals for account and contact scoring. When modeled well, they reveal fit, intent, and engagement, route work to the right teams, and forecast pipeline with confidence.
Use CRM for fit & outcome data (ICP fields, buying groups, opportunities, products, stage history) and your MAP for engagement data (email, web, forms, events). Unify on accounts and people, convert raw events to a governed activity taxonomy, weight by recency, role, and depth, and calibrate thresholds to meetings, pipeline, win rate, and sales velocity.
What Do CRM & MAP Add to Scoring?
The CRM + MAP Scoring Playbook
Blend fit (CRM) and engagement (MAP) with clear identity rules so scores align with real revenue outcomes.
Model → Normalize → Map → Weight → Calibrate → Orchestrate → Govern
- Model the data: Define account/contact/opportunity objects, buying roles, and mandatory ICP fields with picklists and validation rules.
- Normalize identity: Company domain strategy, lead-to-account matching, and deduplication across CRM & MAP.
- Map activity taxonomy: Convert raw MAP events to standard actions (MQI, MQA, demo, pricing, doc, community) with severity tags.
- Weight & decay: Assign points by role, asset depth, and recency; add streaks and cool-offs; include negative points for opt-outs and disqualifiers.
- Calibrate thresholds: Back-test to meeting rate, pipeline per 100 accounts, stage conversion, win rate, and cycle time.
- Orchestrate routing: Trigger SDR/AE handoffs, ABX 1:few programs, and AE alerts when account + people cross thresholds.
- Govern & improve: Quarterly RevOps council reviews coverage, false positives/negatives, and program lift; update weights and fields.
