The Playbook

Step 1

Enrich Inbound Leads with ClearView Visitor History

When a new form fill comes in, immediately cross-reference the lead's email domain against ClearView's visitor database. You will often discover that the company had multiple anonymous visits before anyone filled out the form. Knowing that the company visited your pricing page 4 times over the past month, your integration docs twice, and a competitor comparison page completely changes how you prioritize and approach the conversation.

Most inbound leads are treated as if the form fill was their first interaction with your company. In reality, the average B2B buyer visits a vendor's site 7 to 12 times before filling out a form. ClearView gives you visibility into that entire journey so you can have a much more informed conversation from the first call.
Step 2

Score Inbound Leads by Page Depth and Intent

Use ClearView's lead score as the primary qualification metric for inbound leads. A form fill with a lead score of 90 who visited pricing, case studies, and technical docs is a completely different prospect than a lead score of 25 who read one blog post and downloaded a whitepaper. Overlay the lead score with the specific pages visited to understand not just how interested the prospect is, but what they are interested in.

Page depth tells you where the prospect is in their buying journey. Top-of-funnel content views suggest early research. Pricing, ROI calculators, and comparison pages suggest active evaluation. Technical documentation and API reference views suggest they are already testing or building a business case. Tailor your qualification approach to where they are, not where you wish they were.
Step 3

Route Hot Leads to Immediate Outreach

Any inbound lead with a ClearView score of 70 or above gets routed to an available rep for immediate outreach within 30 minutes. These prospects have demonstrated high intent through their page visits and are likely evaluating solutions right now. Do not put them in a nurture sequence. Do not wait for a round-robin assignment. Get a human in front of them as fast as possible with a message that references what they care about.

The data on speed-to-lead is unambiguous. Responding to a high-intent inbound lead within 5 minutes is 21 times more effective than responding after 30 minutes. ClearView's lead score lets you instantly identify which leads deserve that sprint response and which can follow the normal process. Do not treat all form fills equally.
Step 4

Route Warm Leads to Nurture Sequences

Inbound leads scoring between 40 and 69 go into a targeted nurture sequence. Use the specific pages they visited to choose which nurture track to place them in. If they visited integration docs, put them in a technical nurture track. If they viewed case studies, put them in a social proof track. ClearView's page-level data lets you personalize nurture at scale instead of sending everyone the same generic drip.

A warm lead is not a lost lead, it is a lead that needs more information before they are ready to talk to sales. Your nurture sequence should provide that information in a structured way that mirrors the pages they already viewed. If they read your case study about a financial services company, your nurture emails should reference similar use cases and results.
Step 5

Use Chrome Extension to Research Before Qualification Calls

Before every qualification call, your rep opens the ClearView Chrome Extension and reviews the prospect's complete visit history. They can see every page visited, the frequency of visits, and the lead score trend over time. This transforms a cold qualification call into an informed conversation where the rep already knows what the prospect cares about, what concerns they might have, and which value propositions will resonate most.

Reps who review ClearView data before calls consistently report that prospects are surprised by how well the rep understands their needs. Saying something like I understand you are evaluating solutions for your integration challenges, based on pages they visited, instantly establishes credibility. The prospect thinks you did deep research when you actually just checked the Chrome Extension for 30 seconds.
Step 6

Track Qualification Rates by Lead Score Tier

Measure your qualification-to-opportunity conversion rate broken down by ClearView lead score tier. You should see a clear correlation: leads scoring 70 and above should qualify at 50% or higher, leads in the 40 to 69 range should qualify at 20 to 35%, and leads below 40 should qualify below 15%. If these ratios do not hold, adjust your score thresholds or review your qualification criteria.

This data is powerful for two reasons. First, it validates and calibrates your lead scoring model over time. Second, it gives you concrete data to share with marketing about which traffic sources and content types produce the highest-scoring leads. The marketing team can then optimize their spend and content strategy to drive more high-score inbound volume.

Pro Tips

Set up a real-time Slack notification for every inbound form fill that scores above 70 in ClearView. Include the lead's name, company, score, and top pages visited in the notification. This gives the on-call rep everything they need to make an immediate, informed outreach without even logging into the dashboard.

Track the time between form fill and first outreach for every lead score tier. Plot the correlation between response time and conversion rate. Use this data to make the case for dedicated inbound response resources. Most teams underinvest in speed-to-lead because they do not have the data showing how much pipeline they are losing.

Create a quarterly feedback loop where sales shares which ClearView-scored leads actually closed and at what deal size. Feed this win data back into your scoring model refinement. Over time, your lead scores will become increasingly predictive of revenue, not just engagement.

For leads scoring below 40, do not ignore them entirely. Set up a lightweight automated check-in if their ClearView score increases by 20 or more points within 30 days. A lead that was a 30 two weeks ago but is now a 55 just demonstrated a significant increase in interest and deserves a human touch at that point.
