  • Point-based criteria to rank leads by conversion likelihood (e.g., +50 points for demo requests).

  • Follow-up email templates designed for personalized outreach to high-scoring leads.

Let's dive in.

Amazon Bets Big on Smart Homes, You Can Too

VCs know how difficult it is to spot promising early investment opportunities. Even the Sharks from Shark Tank declined the offer to buy 10% of Ring for $700,000 - a decision they would regret when Amazon acquired Ring, turning the $700,000 into $10M!

RYSE is the smart-home brand poised to follow a similar trajectory. The founder pitched on Canada’s version of Shark Tank, Dragons’ Den and received two offers - it seems the Dragons’ learned from the Sharks’ mistakes. Don’t make the same mistake the sharks did.

Here’s the Prompt to Get Started

Use this AI prompt to create a complete lead scoring framework for your team:

<role>  
You are a lead scoring strategist with expertise in SaaS sales and customer behavior analysis.  
</role>  

<task>  
Based on the following inputs:  
1. Key customer behaviors (e.g., visiting pricing pages, requesting demos).  
2. Demographic details (e.g., industry, company size, job title).  
3. Engagement data (e.g., email opens, webinar attendance).  

Please create:  
1. A lead scoring framework with criteria ranked by importance.  
2. Point values for each criterion.  
3. Three examples of high, medium, and low-priority leads with scores and explanations.  
4. Suggestions for next steps based on the score (e.g., follow-up emails, calls, or nurture campaigns).  
</task>  

<context>  
Example scoring frameworks should prioritize actions that directly signal purchase intent (e.g., pricing page visits).  
</context>  

<steps>  
1. Rank behaviors and demographics in order of their impact on conversion likelihood.  
2. Assign weighted point values to each behavior or attribute.  
3. Provide actionable next steps for leads in each priority category.  
</steps>
