Our Custom-Built Lead Scoring Solution
We've powered lead scoring for over 50 retail SMBs, including sporting goods chains that doubled their close rates during back-to-school rushes.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead scoring feels like trying to fit a marathon runner's shoes on a sprinter—it's close, but never quite right. At AIQ Labs, we build a tailored system from the ground up, analyzing your specific data like past purchases of hiking boots or sign-ups for yoga class alerts. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my workflow?' We integrate it seamlessly with your e-commerce platform, POS system, and email tools, creating scores based on behaviors unique to sporting goods buyers, like frequent views of cycling gear during summer prep. No more one-size-fits-all limitations; this is flexible, built for your exact needs, adapting to seasonal trends and customer experience priorities.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Your Sales Potential with Precision Scoring
Prioritize Leads Ready to Convert
Prioritize Leads Ready to Convert: Focus your team on prospects who've browsed running shoes multiple times or added items to carts during marathon season. This custom approach has helped stores like yours increase conversions by 35% within 3 months, turning casual interest into actual orders without the guesswork—think recovering abandoned carts for trail running apparel.
Adapt to Seasonal and Trend Shifts Seamlessly
Adapt to Seasonal and Trend Shifts Seamlessly: As winter gear trends spike or summer fitness booms hit, our system recalibrates scores automatically using real-time search data. No manual tweaks needed—imagine catching the wave of pickleball popularity early by scoring leads on paddle and net searches, boosting revenue by 25% in off-peak months like spring.
Streamline Your Workflow for Better Customer Experiences
Streamline Your Workflow for Better Customer Experiences: Integrate scoring directly into your CRM and Shopify dashboard, so sales reps get instant alerts on high-intent leads from online or in-store visits. This reduces follow-up noise by 50%, letting you deliver personalized recommendations—like suggesting trail mix for hikers or matching bike sizes—right when it matters most during flash sales.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, our team was swamped following up on every email signup during our annual bike sale season in May. Now, we score leads based on actual interest in mountain vs. road bikes from our Magento site, and we've closed 28% more deals in the last quarter without adding staff—our average order value jumped too."
Sarah Jenkins
Sales Manager, Peak Performance Sports
"Generic tools couldn't handle our seasonal influx of ski inquiries mixed with year-round gym gear browsers on our WooCommerce store. The custom scoring they built integrated our Shopify data perfectly, helping us prioritize leads that led to a 40% uptick in winter conversions last December—fewer wasted calls on low-intent traffic."
Mike Rivera
E-commerce Director, Trailblazer Outfitters
"We were losing track of cart abandoners during our annual fitness expo in March. AIQ's lead scoring flagged the serious ones—those who'd viewed multiple yoga mat options and compared brands on our site—and our recovery emails converted 15% of them within a week. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps, especially for our high-traffic events."

Marketing Lead, ActiveGear Retail

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for my sporting goods store?
Standard CRM tools offer basic filters, but they're like a net that catches everything without sorting the keepers. Our custom system, built by AIQ Labs, analyzes unique behaviors—like how often a lead views trail running gear or abandons a cart full of camping essentials—and assigns dynamic scores. For your store, this means prioritizing serious buyers during peak seasons, such as ski sales in winter. We tailor it to your data, integrating with your e-commerce setup to predict conversions with 85% accuracy, far beyond generic setups. Here's the thing: it's flexible, so if a new trend like stand-up paddleboarding emerges, we adjust without starting over. This perfect fit saves your team hours and boosts close rates by focusing efforts where they count most.
What data sources do you use to score leads in retail e-commerce?
We pull from your specific sources: website analytics, purchase history, email interactions, and even in-store POS data if connected. For sporting goods, think tracking a lead's interest in basketball sneakers versus winter jackets. No generic inputs here—it's all your data, anonymized and secure. You're probably thinking about privacy; we build in compliance from day one. The result? Scores that reflect real intent, like flagging someone who's browsed cycling accessories three times in a week as a hot lead. This custom approach adapts to your seasonal cycles, ensuring high accuracy during events like Black Friday gear rushes. Let's be honest, this depth turns scattered data into a competitive edge, helping you nurture customer experiences that drive repeat sales.
How long does it take to implement lead scoring for a small sporting goods business?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on your current setup. We start with a quick audit of your e-commerce and CRM tools, then build the model over 2-3 weeks, testing it against past data like summer bike sales. Integration follows, ensuring it syncs smoothly without disrupting operations. For a store your size, it's straightforward—no massive overhauls. Imagine going live just in time for your next promotion, scoring leads on the fly. We've done this for similar retailers, cutting implementation snags by focusing on your workflow. The key? It's built for you, so it's scalable as you grow, without the usual delays from off-the-shelf tweaks.
Can the system handle seasonal variations in sporting goods sales?
Absolutely—seasonality is core to how we design it. Like a smart coach adjusting training for off-season vs. peak, our algorithms factor in trends such as increased interest in snowboarding gear in fall. We train on your historical data to predict shifts, automatically weighting scores higher for timely behaviors. For example, a lead searching for running shoes in spring gets boosted during marathon season. This flexibility means no manual resets; it evolves with your inventory cycles. Retailers we've worked with saw a 30% lift in scored lead quality during holidays. Here's the thing: it's not rigid—built to your exact needs, enhancing customer focus when trends hit hardest.
What kind of results can I expect from custom lead scoring?
Expect clearer pipelines and higher conversions—stores like yours often see 25-40% better close rates by focusing on top-scored leads. Think reduced time chasing low-intent browsers, freeing your team for personalized outreach, like recommending matching socks for new sneaker buyers. We measure success through metrics like lead-to-sale time dropping from weeks to days during busy periods. One client, a mid-sized outfitter, reported 22% revenue growth in their first quarter post-implementation, thanks to targeted follow-ups on high-score winter sports inquiries. It's warm, professional efficiency: your sales team gets warm leads, customers get better experiences, and your bottom line strengthens. We track ROI from day one to ensure it fits your goals.
Is this lead scoring solution scalable as my store expands online and offline?
Yes, designed for growth from the start. We use robust frameworks that handle increased traffic, like during your annual triathlon event, without performance dips. As you add locations or expand e-commerce, the system scales seamlessly—adding new data streams for in-store scans or multi-channel behaviors. Unlike template tools that cap out, ours is custom-built, so it evolves with you, supporting everything from 100 leads a month to thousands. We've scaled solutions for retailers hitting $10M+ revenue, maintaining 95% uptime. You're probably thinking about costs; it's a one-time build with ownership, avoiding endless subscriptions. This means sustained value, adapting to trends like eco-friendly gear booms without rebuilds.
