Use AI to Identify Serious Buyers Before You Pick Up the Phone
How to Qualify Leads Without Calling Everyone
Learn / Lead Qualification
Quick Answer
Use LeadDuo 's AI lead scoring to automatically score every lead 0-100 based on intent and urgency. See who's serious before you call. Focus on hot leads (90+) first, and stop wasting time on tire-kickers.
The Problem: You're Calling 20 Leads, Only 2 Are Serious
You get 20 form submissions. You call all of them. 15 don't answer. 3 were just 'browsing.' Only 2 were actually ready to buy.
You just wasted 3 hours calling people who weren't serious. Meanwhile, the 2 hot leads? They called your competitor because you took too long to get to them.
You need a way to know who's serious BEFORE you call. That's where AI lead scoring comes in.

π‘ Tip: Sort by 'Highest Score First' to see your best leads at the top. This is the default view.
Call Hot Leads First
Start with π₯ Hot leads (90+). These are people who used urgent language, provided complete contact info, and showed buying intent. Call them within 5 minutes.
π‘ Tip: Ignore cold leads (below 40) unless you have extra time. Focus your energy on winners.
What AI Lead Scoring Analyzes
LeadDuo's AI reads every form submission and scores it based on:
Message Intent
Urgent words like 'ASAP', 'today', 'need help now' = higher score. Vague messages like 'just looking' = lower score.
Contact Completeness
Full name + phone + email = higher score. Missing phone or fake email = lower score.
Budget Signals
Mentions of budget, timeline, or decision-making authority = higher score.
Specificity
Detailed requests ('3-bedroom house in downtown') = higher score. Generic inquiries = lower score.
Urgency
Time-sensitive language ('moving next month', 'need by Friday') = higher score.
Spam Detection
Gibberish, test submissions, or bot patterns = marked as spam automatically.
Real Example: Mike's Contracting Business
"I used to call every lead. It took 4 hours a day and I closed maybe 1 in 10. Now with AI scoring, I only call leads scored 80+. I close 6 out of 10. My close rate went from 10% to 60%, and I work half the hours. The AI is scary accurateβit knows who's serious before I even talk to them."
