What are “Predictive Analytics?”Hype vs. Reality

Predictive Analytics encompasses a variety of techniques from modeling, machine learning, and data mining that analyze current and historical facts to make predictions about future, or otherwise, unknown events.

It’s all about the data…Use data to identify your next customer

Customer actions:• Web pages viewed• Emails opened• Emails clicked• Events attended• Forms completed

Web information:• Social profiles• People profiles• Company profiles• News

Customer information:• Contact details• Lead source• Company name• Industry • Geography• Social presence• Web presence


Comparing Lead Scoring Approaches

• Requires point-based assignment for activities

• Positive and negative points can be assigned

• Can be arbitrary/based on opinion

• Easy to miss the most important behaviors because “you didn’t think of it”

• Difficult to update and refresh over time

Traditional – Manual Point Assignment

Based on an assumed “Customer Profile”


Comparing Lead Scoring Approaches

• Scores automatically created & updated over time

• Based on activities that led to actual conversions• User behavior• Company profile information• User profile data

• Creates a true “Customer Profile”

Predictive – Automated Ranking

Based on a true “Customer Profile”
