Scoring tuned to the property signals that actually predict a booking: stated budget, locality and configuration fit, the site visit ladder, and whether finance has been discussed.
Quick answer
In most sales offices the answer is order of arrival. The portal export is opened, the newest rows sit at the top, the team dials downwards until the day ends, and whatever is left becomes tomorrow's backlog. By Thursday nobody remembers which of those numbers has already been tried. That is not laziness; a team receiving a few hundred enquiries a month has no practical way to re-sort them by hand every morning.
A budget band is only useful next to what you are selling. A stated range that overlaps your unsold stock is a strong signal; the same range against a project priced well above it is not. Scoring should read the two together.
Booked, confirmed, attended, revisited. Each rung is a different level of intent, and the jump from confirmed to attended carries most of the predictive value. A second visit with a co-applicant present is the closest thing to a reliable signal residential sales has.
Buyers who have talked about loan eligibility, produced income documents or asked about your bank tie-ups are further along than buyers who have not. Buyers who must sell an existing flat first are a separate category with a longer cycle, and they deserve their own follow-up rhythm rather than a low score.
Attribute signals such as budget, locality and configuration set the starting position. Behaviour signals such as replies, brochure opens and visit attendance move it as they happen. Time pulls it back down, so nothing stays hot without activity. The output is one number plus a plain explanation of what produced it.
| Signal on the lead | Why it predicts here | Effect on score |
|---|---|---|
| Second site visit attended | Family has seen it twice | Strong lift |
| First visit attended | Travelled to the project | Strong lift |
| Visit booked, not yet held | Committed a weekend | Moderate lift |
| Loan eligibility discussed | Funding path is real | Moderate lift |
| Budget matches unsold stock | You can actually serve it | Moderate lift |
| Configuration mismatch | Wrong product entirely | Drop |
| No reply in fourteen days | Interest has cooled | Decay |
| Must sell existing flat first | Longer cycle, not a dead lead | Route to nurture |
Connect enquiry sources so portal, website and Facebook leads arrive with their source intact. Make budget, configuration, locality and possession timeline required at first qualification. Log site visits as events with an attendance outcome rather than as notes, and record lost reasons honestly, because a pipeline where every loss says price teaches the score nothing.
Scoring prioritises; it does not decide. It has no view on whether a buyer deserves a discount or whether a small enquiry came from someone worth meeting, and it reads only what is recorded, so a team that logs nothing gets a number built on nothing. It is a statement about a group, not a verdict on a person: plenty of low-scoring buyers book, which is why low scores route to nurture rather than deletion.

Every team in this space loses revenue to the same recurring gaps. Here is what they cost you and how HelloGrowthCRM closes each one.
Two hundred portal enquiries land in a week and the team works them in whatever order the export sorted them, so a buyer who booked a site visit waits behind a casual browser.
The call list is ordered by property signals: visit status, budget band, locality fit and finance readiness. The weekend visit booking is the first thing your caller sees on Monday.Prioritised call list
Budget is discussed on every call and recorded nowhere, so the same lead is re-qualified by three different executives across a month.
Budget, configuration and possession timeline are structured fields captured once at qualification. They feed the score and stay visible to whoever picks up the account next.Structured qualification
Visit no-shows are only noticed when nobody turns up on Sunday, and the call to rebook never happens.
Visit status is a tracked event. A confirmed visit that was not attended drops the score and raises a rebooking task with the context attached, so the recovery call happens.Site visit tracking
Channel partner leads and direct enquiries sit in one undifferentiated list, so nobody can tell which brokers send real buyers.
Every lead carries its partner and source. Scoring reads that history, and the partner view shows which relationships produce visits and bookings rather than volume alone.Partner attribution
