2. Analyze Lead Data with AI: Use OpenAI’s GPT or a lead scoring API to assess lead quality.

4. Assign a Lead Score: AI generates a score (1-100) based on lead potential.

5. Update CRM: Store the AI-generated score in your CRM for prioritization.

“Analyze the following lead details: [Lead Name, Job Title, Company, Email, Past Interactions]. Assign a lead score from 1-100 based on intent and conversion probability.”
