Deal Qualification Scoring
Use a discovery call to score the deal against your ICP—and show the evidence behind the score.
What you'll need
- ICP criteria document (firmographics, technographics, buying signals)
- Discovery call transcript or notes
- Scoring rubric (what earns points, what deducts)
Put it to work
