TL;DR

VynDeal AI scores every lead 0–100 using firmographics, deal velocity, sample requests, RFQ size and engagement. Top scores surface daily.

Manufacturer SDRs waste hours on cold leads while hot ones go cold. Without scoring, every lead looks the same in the queue. The result: reps work whoever called most recently rather than whoever's most likely to buy. Conversion rates suffer, the quota becomes harder to hit, the funnel waste compounds.

VynDeal AI scores every lead 0–100 using firmographics (company size, industry, country, revenue band), behavioural signals (website visits, email opens, content downloads), deal velocity (how fast they're engaging), sample request history, RFQ size and recent engagement timing. Scores update in real time as new signals arrive.

Top scores surface daily on a "hot leads" view. Reps work the 20% of leads that produce 80% of revenue — without consciously thinking about prioritisation. Conversion rates typically improve 25-40% within 60 days as reps stop wasting cycles on poor-fit leads. Manager dashboards show score-to-conversion calibration so you can trust the model.

Built specifically for manufacturer signals: sample requests are weighted heavily (a manufacturer who requested a sample is far hotter than one who downloaded a brochure), RFQ size matters (a £500K RFQ commands different priority than a £5K), trade show / exhibition lead timing is captured (badge scan + 7-day urgency window).

Frequently Asked Questions

What signals does the model use?
Firmographics (company, industry, country, size), behavioural (visits, opens, downloads), intent (sample, RFQ, demo), engagement timing, deal history. 12+ signal categories.
Is the model trained on my data?
The base model is trained on aggregated, anonymised manufacturer patterns. It then calibrates to your specific data over the first 30-60 days — your won/lost outcomes refine the score for your team.
Can I tune the score?
Yes. Sales ops can adjust signal weights (e.g. boost "sample request" for sample-driven manufacturers, increase "RFQ size" weight for engineering-to-order). Most teams use defaults successfully.
How fast does scoring update?
Real-time on signal events (page visit, email open, form submit, RFQ). Recalibration of the model itself happens nightly.
Trade show lead handling?
Trade show / exhibition leads get a +20 score boost and a 7-day urgency window — reflecting that contact freshness matters most in the week post-event.
