When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it as the gate between marketing automation and sales assignment when lead scoring is already configured and the team has agreed on a minimum score that means "ready for a human."
  • Use it to keep sales focused on genuinely warm leads while lower-score contacts keep getting nurtured until they earn the threshold.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if scoring is not yet configured or trusted; a bad threshold routes noise to sales and erodes trust in the whole system faster than no routing at all. Get scoring validated first.
  • Do not use it for contacts who already have an owner from a prior sales-sourced touch; exclude those, an existing relationship should not be redirected into a generic nurture track because of a score recalculation.
