The "Lead Qualification" Problem
Juggling inconsistent lead signals from client RFPs for corporate training videos and agency referrals for event coverage, often resulting in mismatched project scopes and wasted pre-production planning
Overloaded producers chasing speculative pitches that fizzle after initial briefs
Struggling to score leads based on budget alignment for high-end corporate videos, such as executive keynotes or product launch films, leading to underpriced bids and scope creep
Manual triage of inbound inquiries from events and social media, leading to missed deadlines
Inaccurate prioritization when balancing creative workloads, like editing suites and motion graphics teams, against unpredictable client timelines for multi-phase video campaigns
Difficulty integrating lead data from production software like Adobe Premiere Pro workflows and Frame.io with CRM systems for repeat business opportunities in branded content series

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under 50 leads a month from networking events like NAB Show, but only 10% ever booked a full production. Their custom scoring system now auto-flags the serious ones based on our past project budgets for corporate documentaries, and we've doubled our close rate in just four months—finally, more time directing on-set than cold-calling prospects."
Sarah Jenkins
Head of Business Development, PixelForge Studios
"We produce promo videos for tech startups, but qualifying their wild ideas for drone-integrated pitches was a nightmare. The AI they built analyzes RFP details against our expertise in aerial cinematography and 3D animation, cutting our pitch prep time by half—from 20 hours to 10 per proposal. Last quarter, we landed three six-figure contracts for SaaS launch videos we would've overlooked."
Mike Rivera
Creative Director, Visionary Reels Production
"Integrating lead scoring with our Frame.io review workflows and Salesforce CRM transformed how we handle corporate client inquiries for live event streams. No more guessing which leads have the budget for full post-production polish—it's scored everything accurately based on historical spend data, helping us hit our Q4 revenue targets three months ahead of schedule with 15% higher margins."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for video production firms?
Standard CRMs offer basic filters, but they're not tuned to the creative nuances of video production—like assessing a client's vision alignment or timeline feasibility. We build a custom AI that analyzes your unique data, such as past project scopes and client feedback patterns, to score leads with 90% precision. For instance, it can prioritize a corporate training video lead over a vague wedding inquiry based on your historical conversions. This tailored approach integrates directly into your workflow, reducing manual reviews by 60% and ensuring your team pitches only to prospects ready for full production cycles. We've seen production companies cut unqualified pursuits in half within the first quarter.
What data sources do you use to train the lead scoring model?
We start with your internal goldmine: historical lead data from RFPs, emails, and CRM entries, plus production outcomes like contract values and revision counts. Then, we layer in external signals relevant to video pros, such as client industry benchmarks from sources like Clutch or LinkedIn engagement with your demo reels. No generic datasets here—everything is customized to your studio's focus, whether it's commercial ads or documentary work. The model learns iteratively, improving as you feed it more data from successful shoots. This ensures scores reflect real-world factors, like a client's history of on-time payments, helping you avoid budget mismatches that derail creative projects.
How long does it take to implement lead scoring for our production company?
From kickoff to live scoring, it's typically 4-6 weeks for most video firms. Week one is discovery: we map your lead flow, from initial inquiries to signed SOWs. Weeks two and three involve building and testing the model against your data. By week four, we're integrating it with your tools and training your team. It's phased to minimize disruption—no big bang launches during shooting seasons. Post-launch, we monitor for two weeks, tweaking for optimal performance. Clients often see immediate wins, like 30% faster prioritization of event video leads, without pausing ongoing productions.
Can the system handle seasonal fluctuations in video project leads?
Absolutely. Our models are designed with flexibility in mind, adjusting scores dynamically for peaks like summer weddings or Q4 corporate videos. We incorporate seasonality into the algorithm, using your past data to weigh leads higher during high-demand periods—say, boosting scores for urgent promo inquiries in December. This prevents overload on your editors and ensures balanced workloads. For one production client, this feature alone increased off-season bookings by 25%, smoothing revenue without extra marketing spend. It's all custom-built, so it scales to your calendar, not a rigid template.
What if our video production needs evolve, like adding animation services?
Our systems are built to adapt. When you expand into animation or VFX, we retrain the model with new data points, like lead interest in motion graphics, in just 1-2 weeks. No starting over—the core architecture supports modular updates, integrating fresh variables without downtime. We've helped studios pivot from live-action to hybrid services, maintaining 85% scoring accuracy throughout. This future-proofs your investment, ensuring the tool grows with your creative offerings and client base, rather than becoming obsolete as trends shift.
Is the lead scoring solution secure for handling client project details?
Security is non-negotiable in professional services. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards—crucial for NDAs in video production. Your leads' sensitive info, like script outlines or budget hints, stays siloed in your owned system, with role-based access so only producers see high-scores. Regular audits and our in-house compliance protocols, proven in platforms like RecoverlyAI, ensure no breaches. Clients appreciate this peace of mind, especially when scoring leads for confidential corporate campaigns.
