Lead scoring

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Lead scoring - the shows and 28 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Lead scoring determines which prospects deserve sales attention, but B2B teams often misuse it - relying on misaligned CRM data, outdated MQL frameworks, or inconsistent measurement. Episodes like "How B2B Marketers Misuse Lead Scoring" and "The Rise and Fall of the MQL" explore why traditional scoring fails, while newer approaches using AI enrichment, intent data, and Chief Revenue Operations alignment show how to actually connect scoring to pipeline outcomes.
