How Do I Predict Which Leads Will Convert Before First Contact Using HubSpot Sales Hub?
Prioritize leads before outreach with a Fit + Intent + Recency − Risk model, Active Lists, workflows, and dashboards that prove lift.
Create a lead-priority model in HubSpot that blends Fit (ICP tier, company size), Intent (form depth, key page views, ad/source), Recency (latest engagement), and Risk (no opt-in, invalid email). Store it in a Score/Priority property or use HubSpot’s predictive scoring, then act: Active Lists for high-score leads, workflows to route/notify, and dashboards that compare score bands vs. actual meetings and opportunities to tune thresholds.
Pre-Contact Prediction Plays
Build a Conversion-Likelihood Model in Sales Hub
Prediction starts with the data you already own. Define Fit (ICP tier, industry, employee count, strategic accounts) and Intent (form type/depth, pricing or product page views, event/webinar attendance, ad/source). Add Recency (last activity, days since engagement) and Risk (missing consent, invalid email, free/student domains). Combine these into a Lead Score/Priority or use HubSpot predictive scoring if available.
Translate the score into bands (e.g., A ≥80, B 60–79, C <60). Create Active Lists for A/B leads to fuel instant routing, owner notifications, and SLA timers; maintain suppression lists for risky or unqualified contacts. Use Workflows to create tasks, enroll sequences, and escalate if SLAs are missed.
Prove the model with backtesting: dashboards that show meeting rate, SQL rate, and opportunity creation by score band and by source. If A-band leads aren’t clearly outperforming, revisit inputs and weights (intent + recency often carry the most signal). Keep data hygiene tight: dedupe, verify email, respect consent, and align lifecycle stages. Reviewed weekly, this approach reliably surfaces high-propensity leads before first contact and routes them to the right rep faster.

- Days 1–5: Define inputs & weights; add Score/Priority property and bands.
- Days 6–10: Build Active Lists (A/B/C + suppression) and routing workflows with SLAs.
- Days 11–20: Launch sequences for A/B leads; add owner notifications and tasks.
- Days 21–30: Stand up dashboards; backtest conversion by band; tune weights weekly.
