Lead scoring that combines behavior and intent data
Score leads based on pages viewed, quiz responses, and email engagement. Sync scores to your email platform. Trigger sales alerts when prospects get hot. No enterprise CRM required.
What is lead scoring?
Lead scoring assigns point values to prospect behaviors, indicating their likelihood to buy. High-scoring leads get prioritized for sales outreach. Low-scoring leads stay in nurture sequences. This focuses sales resources where they are most likely to convert.
Traditional lead scoring requires expensive CRM platforms. RightMessage brings behavioral lead scoring to SMBs, SaaS companies, and service businesses by syncing scores directly to your email platform. Combine scoring with audience segmentation to create powerful targeting based on both behavior and profile data.
Stop treating all leads equally
Some leads will never buy. Others visited your pricing page three times this week. Without scoring, sales wastes time on cold leads.
The Wrong Way
The
Way
Score leads based on what they do
Track website behavior and assign points to actions that indicate buying intent
Track high-intent page visits
Certain pages signal buying intent better than others. Pricing page visits (+20 points), case study views (+15 points), feature comparison pages (+10 points). RightMessage tracks these automatically and syncs updated scores to your email platform.
Learn more about behavioral insights and segmentation to understand how page tracking works.
Detect engagement patterns
A lead who visited once months ago is different from one who visited three times this week. RightMessage tracks visit frequency, recency, and depth of engagement to give you a complete picture.
Score leads higher when they return repeatedly, consume multiple content pieces, or spend significant time on buying-related pages. Use lifecycle personalization to match website experiences to score-based segments.
Score leads based on what they tell you
Use quiz and survey responses to identify high-fit prospects
Quiz responses reveal intent and fit
Behavioral data tells you what people do. Zero-party data tells you what they want. Combine both for accurate lead scoring.
When someone takes a quiz funnel and says they are looking to buy in the next 30 days, that is more valuable than any page view. Score accordingly.
Collect zero-party data for scoring
Ask prospects about their budget, timeline, team size, and challenges. Each answer adds points to their score. Someone with a $50K budget and "this quarter" timeline scores much higher than "just browsing."

Sync lead scores to your email platform
Turn your email platform into a lead scoring database
Real-time score updates
Every behavior updates lead scores instantly. Someone visits your pricing page at 2pm, their score updates by 2:01pm. When they cross a threshold, your automations can trigger immediately.
Scores sync as custom fields in your email platform. No middleware or Zapier required.
Trigger automations based on scores
Configure your email platform to act when scores change. When someone exceeds 50 points, move them from nurture to sales sequence. When they hit 100, send an internal alert to your sales team.
Your ESP already supports custom field-based automations. RightMessage just gives you the data to power them. Capture leads with smart forms that start building scores from the first interaction.
Personalize experiences based on lead score
Show different content and CTAs based on buying readiness
Adjust website content by score
Low-score visitors see educational content. High-score visitors see trial and demo prompts. Match your website experience to buying readiness.
Use website personalization to show the right CTAs, testimonials, and offers based on lead score thresholds.
Match CTAs to intent level
Someone who just found you should see "Download our guide." Someone with a lead score of 80+ should see "Book a demo." RightMessage automatically swaps CTAs based on score thresholds.
Stop asking high-intent leads to download yet another ebook when they are ready to talk.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set up lead scoring without a CRM?
RightMessage tracks website behaviors and syncs scores to your email platform as custom fields. Your email platform becomes your lead scoring database. Configure point values for key behaviors, and scores update automatically as leads engage with your site. No Salesforce or HubSpot required.
What behaviors should I score?
Focus on behaviors that indicate buying intent: pricing page views, case study reads, demo requests, buyer's guide downloads, and frequent site visits. Weight each behavior based on how strongly it correlates with eventual purchase in your business. Start with estimates and refine based on what actually converts.
How do I know what score thresholds to use?
Start with estimates based on your funnel. Perhaps 50+ points triggers sales outreach, 25-49 stays in nurture, under 25 gets educational content. Refine thresholds over time based on which scores actually convert. Most teams iterate on thresholds monthly until they find optimal breakpoints.
Can lead scores decay over time?
Yes. Old engagement is less meaningful than recent engagement. You can configure score decay so points from months-old behavior fade, keeping scores focused on current intent. This prevents stale leads from cluttering your high-score segments.
How do I alert sales when leads get hot?
Configure your email platform to send internal notification emails when the lead score custom field crosses your threshold. Most email platforms support this through automations or workflows triggered by custom field changes. Your sales team gets an email the moment a lead hits their target score.
How is this different from traditional CRM lead scoring?
Traditional CRM lead scoring requires expensive software like Salesforce or HubSpot, plus technical implementation. RightMessage brings the same behavioral scoring capabilities to your existing email platform. You get real-time website tracking, quiz response scoring, and automatic sync without enterprise software costs or complex integrations.
Can I score leads based on quiz or survey responses?
Absolutely. Quiz and survey responses are some of the most valuable scoring signals. When someone tells you their budget is $50K+ and their timeline is this quarter, that is worth more than any page view. RightMessage lets you assign point values to specific answers and adds them to the lead score automatically.
How do lead scores affect website personalization?
Lead scores can drive personalization rules. Show educational content and newsletter signups to low-score visitors. Show demo booking and free trial CTAs to high-score visitors. This creates a cohesive experience where your website adapts to buying readiness automatically.
What email platforms does RightMessage integrate with for lead scoring?
RightMessage integrates with most major email platforms that support custom fields. Lead scores sync as custom field values that update in real-time. Your email platform automations can then trigger based on these scores, moving leads between sequences or alerting your team.
How quickly do lead scores update after someone visits my site?
Lead scores update in real-time, typically within seconds of a tracked behavior. When someone visits your pricing page, their score updates almost immediately and syncs to your email platform. This means your automations can trigger while the lead is still on your site.
