Challenge

While the developer generated strong lead volume, builder engagement was inconsistent—many leads were not opened, prioritized, or followed up on in a timely manner. Builders often focused on their own marketing pipelines, leading to missed opportunities, friction between partners, and reduced perceived value of developer-generated leads.

Results

Builder engagement improved through higher lead notification open rates and more consistent follow-up. This led to fewer missed opportunities, increased confidence in developer-generated leads, and better alignment between marketing and builder sales teams.

The Challenge

While the developer successfully generated leads, builder engagement with those leads was inconsistent.

  • Leads were not always opened or prioritized
  • Response times varied widely
  • Some leads went completely untouched
  • Builders relied more heavily on their own marketing pipelines

  • Built a lead scoring model based on:
    • Engagement behavior
    • Source quality
    • Buyer intent
  • Included lead score and context in builder notifications
  • Standardized and automated lead routing workflows
  • Improved speed and clarity of lead delivery

 “The leads we’re getting now feel more actionable. With the added context and scoring, our team knows who to prioritize and how to approach each lead.”
