How Do Industrial Firms Score Leads for Aftermarket Upsell?
Boost parts, consumables, and service contract revenue by combining intent data, installed-base context, and service history into a clear, actionable score that routes the right opportunities to Sales and Service at the right time.
Score aftermarket upsell leads by weighting buying signals that predict parts and service demand: recent intent topics (searches/content), equipment age and runtime, maintenance events, e-commerce behavior, and firmographic fit. Normalize on a 0–100 model, apply recency decay, and set action thresholds that trigger playbooks (e.g., “Parts reorder outreach”) with SLA-backed routing to the correct territory or channel.
Signals That Lift Aftermarket Scoring Accuracy
The Aftermarket Scoring Playbook
A step-by-step path to a reliable score that Sales trusts—and that grows service, parts, and contracts.
Define → Unify → Weight → Threshold → Route → Orchestrate → Improve
- Define objectives: Separate models for parts reorder, service contract, and retrofit to avoid mixed signals.
- Unify data: Connect CRM, service FSM/CMMS, commerce, web analytics, and intent providers; standardize account/asset IDs.
- Weight signals: Start with expert weights; add decay (e.g., 25%/week) and caps to prevent one signal from dominating.
- Set thresholds: Define MQL-A (parts), MQL-S (service), and MQA (account) with acceptance criteria.
- Route with SLAs: Assign by territory/channel; auto-create tasks with response timers and close-loop dispositions.
- Orchestrate plays: Trigger parts replenishment emails, service-due sequences, and distributor handoff packages.
- Improve: Review win rate by decile monthly; retrain with features that lift precision/recall.
