Hot Leads ≠ Random Leads
The Lead Scoring System Every Builder Needs
The Real Problem: Why Your Sales Team Feels Burnt Out
Let’s be honest—most sales teams in real estate spend their days chasing everyone.
- A guy who clicked your ad at 2 AM out of curiosity? Call him.
- Someone who asked “kya EMI hoga?” but never picked up again? Call him.
- And the serious buyer who’s ready to book this week? Also just another number in the pile.
The result? Sales teams are exhausted, chasing ghosts while real buyers slip through the cracks.
Enter: Lead Scoring
Imagine if your sales team knew exactly who to call first.
Not based on gut feeling, but on a clear, logical score.
Think of it like a report card for leads:
- The “just browsing” lead? 20 points.
- The “brochure download + site visit request” lead? 80 points.
Who deserves a callback today? You already know.
How It Works (Without Fancy Jargon)
Here’s a simple scoring logic you can steal
Points You Can Assign:
- Budget matches project range → +10
- Shared phone + email (real, not fake) → +5
- Asked for brochure/details → +15
- Watched 75%+ of project video → +10
Booked site visit → +25
Timeline to buy within 3 months → +20
Referred by existing customer → +15
Lead Tiers:
- 70+ = Hot (chase now!)
- 40–70 = Warm (nurture)
- <40 = Cold (automation only)
This way, your sales team stops wasting time and starts closing deals.
The Free Tool (No Extra Software Needed)
We built a Lead Scoring Spreadsheet that does all the work for you.
- Enter your lead details.
- The sheet auto-scores them.
