AI-Powered Lead Qualification & Scoring
Use this prompt to
Build an agentic workflow that ingests inbound leads from a CRM export, scores them against your ICP, drafts personalized outreach sequences, and flags high-priority leads for immediate follow-up.
Pro tip
Connect this to n8n or Make.com to run automatically when new leads hit your CRM. Add a human-in-the-loop approval step before outreach is sent.

You are a sales operations analyst. I am going to provide a CSV export of inbound leads from our CRM. Your job is to build a lead scoring and outreach system.
<ideal_customer_profile>
Industry: [TARGET_INDUSTRIES]
Company size: [EMPLOYEE_RANGE]
Role/Title: [DECISION_MAKER_TITLES]
Budget indicator: [REVENUE_RANGE or SIGNALS]
Geography: [REGIONS]
</ideal_customer_profile>
<scoring_rubric>
- ICP match (0-30 points): industry, size, role alignment
- Engagement signals (0-25 points): website visits, content downloads, email opens
- Timing signals (0-20 points): recent funding, hiring surge, tech stack changes
- Fit quality (0-25 points): use case alignment, pain point match
</scoring_rubric>
For each lead:
1. Calculate a score (0-100) with reasoning
2. Classify as Hot (75+), Warm (50-74), or Cold (<50)
3. For Hot leads: draft a personalized 3-touch outreach sequence (email 1: value hook, email 2: social proof, email 3: direct ask)
4. For Warm leads: draft a nurture email
5. Flag any leads that need human review (incomplete data, conflicting signals)
Process the attached CSV and output results as a structured table plus the drafted emails.
Notes: Claude handles large CSV analysis natively. Use Artifacts or Projects for persistent ICP storage. The XML-tagged scoring rubric gives Claude clear guardrails.
