Establishing targeting threshold rule
Establish a threshold rule for your Scoring program that will enable you to automatically route leads to Sales or trigger a targeted action. A Scoring threshold can help your Marketing team create better leads and help your Sales Team convert more leads by focusing their efforts on the highest quality leads.
To establish a threshold:
- Click Target from the top menu bar, select Targeting Rules and click New Targeting Rule.
- The "Targeting Rules" window will then appear, click on the Visitor::Scoring category and select Scoring.
- Select the Scoring Rule from the drop down and enter the threshold value in the text box.
Although you have now created a new Scoring Rule and Targeting Rule, no actions will take place on your website until you have also created a Targeted Action.
How does Scoring calculate the Score?
When calculating the score for each visit, Scoring counts the Event(s) specified in each rule set only once per visit. For example, when a visitor views the same product page multiple times in the same visit, Scoring grants the score specified for that Event only once. If the same visitor visits the same product page in a later visit, Scoring counts the Event again and adds it to the visitor's total score.
