How Do You Tie Scoring to Revenue Potential?
Go beyond engagement points. Connect propensity-to-buy with deal economics so every priority signal rolls up to expected revenue. Focus reps on the highest value, most winnable accounts—today.
Tie scoring to revenue by combining probability (fit + intent + engagement) with value (ACV, expansion, margin). Use Expected Revenue = P(Buy) × Deal Value to rank accounts and trigger plays. Weight by buying-committee coverage and time decay, and publish reason codes so sellers see why an account is worth their next hour.

Define → Quantify → Calibrate → Activate → Route → Measure → Govern
- Define signals & value inputs: Fit, verified intent, engagement, buying-committee breadth; ACV band, product mix, margin, expansion potential.
- Quantify Expected Revenue: Convert signals to probability tiers (A/B/C) and multiply by median ACV per tier.
- Calibrate with history: Back-test against wins/losses; set decay windows and disqualifiers; document reason codes.
- Activate in CRM/MAP: Surface score, Expected Revenue, and top reasons in list views, mobile, and alerts.
- Route by value: High-ER accounts to senior AEs or product specialists; auto-create tasks and sequences.
- Measure what matters: Track lift on meetings, SQL rate, ACV, cycle time, and forecast accuracy by tier.
- Govern monthly: RevOps + Finance review thresholds, ACV bands, and bias; tune weights and plays.
