Course Description
In this Building and Deploying Lead Scoring Models course, you’ll learn how to design a custom lead scoring model that supports your sales goals, links with your CRM and marketing tools, and stays accurate as your business grows.

You’ll start by setting up a scoring system that reflects what success looks like for your team—whether that means faster sales cycles, bigger deals, or stronger conversion rates.
