Opportunity Grading Guide

How Opportunity Grading Works

See exactly how CoDriver evaluates lead quality, assigns grades from 1 (hot) to 3 (cold), and decides when to hand off to your sales team.

Opportunities are automatically graded from 1 (hot) to 3 (cold) based on the quality signals they contain. The grade determines when an opportunity is ready to be handed off to your sales team. Higher scores and meeting specific requirements earn better grades.
