The ability to grade and score prospective donors is a game-changer. By assigning points to prospect behaviour and interactions you deem valuable (such as signing a petition, or downloading a PDF from your website), you will have a better understanding of how warm or cold a potential donor is.
Better prospect scoring and grading will give you greater insight into who you are reaching out to and what will resonate most with them (for example, a direct phone call, email, or other mode of contact). This is particularly useful when determining who you should reach out to and how to help secure donations during significant fundraising campaigns.
