Score Leads Properly and Watch Reply Rates Climb

Not all leads are created equal, but most outreach treats them as if they are. When you message every prospect with the same priority, you waste your best copy on people who were never going to reply and under-invest in the ones who were ready to talk. Lead scoring solves this by ranking prospects based on their demonstrated behaviour — engagement frequency, recency, depth of interaction — so your team focuses energy where it will actually produce results. Ghost's scoring engine runs continuously across your LinkedIn activity.

The problem

You're sending the same outreach to every prospect regardless of their engagement level. Hot leads get the same templated message as stone-cold ones. Reply rates stay flat because you're not prioritising the prospects most likely to respond.

How Ghost solves this

Ghost scores every prospect based on their LinkedIn engagement behaviour — frequency, recency, and depth of interactions with your content. High-scoring leads get prioritised outreach with deeper personalisation, while lower-scoring leads enter nurture sequences.

Teams using Ghost's lead scoring see reply rates for their top-tier leads reach 22%, compared to a blended average of 5% without scoring.
