How the tool works

The Simple Lead Scoring Tool operates through a series of steps that enrich a lead's information and calculate a lead score based on company size. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how it works:

1. Input Email Address: You start by entering the prospect's email address into the tool. This is the only required input to begin the lead scoring process.

2. Search LinkedIn URL: The tool performs a Google search query to find the LinkedIn profile associated with the provided email address. It uses the search query format "linkedin [prospect email address]" to locate relevant LinkedIn profiles.

3. Extract LinkedIn URL: Once the search results are obtained, the tool uses a prompt to extract the most likely LinkedIn URL of the prospect. If multiple URLs are found, it selects the most relevant one.

4. Retrieve LinkedIn Profile Data: With the LinkedIn URL, the tool retrieves the prospect's LinkedIn profile data. This includes information such as job title, company name, industry, country, and the number of employees at the company.

5. Calculate Lead Score: The tool then calculates the lead score based on the number of employees at the prospect's company. The scoring formula is as follows:

   • 0 - 50 employees = 10 points
   • 51 to 100 employees = 15 points
   • 101 to 1000 employees = 25 points
   • 1001 to 10000 employees = 50 points
   • 10000+ employees = 100 points

6. Output Lead Information: Finally, the tool outputs the enriched lead information in a JSON format. This includes the prospect's email address, job title, company name, company industry, country, number of employees, and the calculated lead score.
