Accessing The Engagement Score

How is the Engagement Score Calculated?
The Engagement updates every 30 minutes, and the score prioritizes the accounts for you based on the their level of interest in your company. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 5 by assigning weighted point values to any activities performed on your site. The score is calculated based on the following activities in order of highest to lowest impact.
- Meetings Booked
- Conversations held
- Videos viewed (longer % viewed have a higher impact)
- High intent page visits
- Email clicks
- Email opens
Other factors we take into account include:
- Recency: Only activity from the last 2 weeks will impact score. For example, if an account showed activity > 2 weeks ago, they will be given a score of 0 flames. In addition, the score is significantly impacted by the recency of the activity that occurred
- Known vs unknown contacts: Conversations, video views, and site visits from known contacts count 2X more towards the score
-
It incorporates conversational intent. Not every email, chat, phone call, or Zoom indicates somebody wants to buy — some could be saying "I'm not ready" or "We aren't interested." Our AI analyzes your conversations and surfaces the ones that matter in the engagement score, maximizing rep efficiency
