Understanding Qualification Scores

The Qualification Score uses machine learning to quantify what truly defines an ideal customer beyond basic firmographics and then scores every account in your CRM along with the 55 million accounts in the Demandbase company database. The Qualification Score scores each account on the likelihood it would ever become a customer, regardless of where it is in the buyer journey. 

You can also set up multiple Qualification Scores according to account fit and interest in your different product offerings. See Understanding Multiple Predictive Scores for more information.

Important: Only Accounts with a domain get a Qualification Score.
