# Opportunity Conversion Score (Beta) Explained

Opportunity Conversion is a predictive score, from 0 to 100, that shows how likely a company is to convert into a sales opportunity. It's trained on your own CRM data, so it reflects how conversion actually looks for your business, not a generic industry benchmark.

This article covers everything included in the Opportunity Conversion (TOF) beta: what the score means, where to find it, how it works, and what to expect while it's in beta.

 This article covers the Opportunity Conversion score only (top-of-funnel: lead to opportunity). Deal Conversion (opportunity to closed-won) is a separate score, planned for a later beta phase, and will get its own article when it opens.
## Key concepts

- **Score:** a number from 0–100 showing how likely a company is to become an opportunity.
- **Reasons:** plain-language statements explaining what changed for a company and likely influenced its score.
- **Personalized model:** the score is trained on your account's own CRM history — it isn't shared with, or trained on, other customers' data.

2. Click **Enrich**.
3. Find the score under the **Scores** section, in the **Opportunity conversion** row, marked with a **Beta** tag.

 Viewing the Opportunity Conversion score does not use credits during the beta period.
## How it works

The model looks at how companies in your CRM history behaved before they became opportunities, then compares new companies against that pattern. It considers signals such as:

- Headcount growth or shrinkage, overall and by department (e.g. Sales, Engineering, Marketing)
- LinkedIn follower and employee growth
- Revenue changes
- HQ or office location changes, including opening a new office in a hub city
- Industry or company-type changes
- New presence on social platforms, or expanding internationally


Alongside the score, you'll usually see a short list of reasons — plain-language statements about what changed for that company. For example:

> "The Sales headcount in the recent month has changed by 12, and currently is 340."
"The company gained a presence in Austin in the recent month."
"LinkedIn followers have changed by 8% and currently it is 4,210."


## What "beta" means right now

This is an early version, and a few things are still being refined — worth knowing upfront:

- Some high-scoring companies may show no reasons yet, or fewer than expected. The score is still valid — the explanation layer is catching up.
- Reasons describe what changed, not always whether that change is good or bad for conversion. We're working on making that direction clearer.
- Reasons don't yet cover news or intent signals (e.g. hiring for a specific role, funding news) — only firmographic and technographic changes today.

 If something looks off or confusing, that's useful feedback, not a wasted report. Tell us about it in your feedback session (see the FAQ below).
## What you need to use it

*(Beta only — available to accounts that joined the Join Beta campaign)*

- An integrated CRM. The model trains on your CRM history, so it needs a connected CRM to work.
- Your account must have joined the beta.


If you enrich a company and don't see a score, your account may not yet be initialized. Reach out to your Lusha contact and we'll check.

## Frequently asked questions

**How is this different from a lead score I already have?**

Most lead-scoring tools score against a generic model or firmographic checklist. Opportunity Conversion is trained specifically on your CRM's own lead-to-opportunity patterns so it reflects what conversion actually looks like for your business — not a one-size-fits-all benchmark.

**Is my CRM data used to train models for other customers?**

No. The model is trained per account, on that account's own CRM data. Your data isn't used to score or train models for other customers.

**Why does a company have a score but no reasons listed?**

Reasons only show when a specific signal clearly stands out for that company. If nothing crossed that bar, the score still reflects the model's full analysis — the reasons list is a summary of the most notable factors, not the complete picture. We're actively improving coverage here during the beta.

**What counts as a "good" score?**

There's no universal cutoff. As a rule of thumb from early design-partner data, focusing on the top 10% of scored companies has produced a 5-6x lift in conversion rate versus an unprioritized list. Use the score to rank and prioritize, not as a hard yes/no gate.

**Will this affect my billing or credits?**

No. Viewing the Opportunity Conversion score does not consume credits during the beta period. Credit charges may apply after general release, and we'll communicate that clearly before it changes.

**What do I need for this to work?**

Your account needs an integrated CRM and to have joined the beta. If you enrich a company and don't see a score, your account may not yet be initialized — reach out and we'll check.

**Does this include the Deal Conversion score too?**

Not yet. This beta is focused on Opportunity Conversion (top-of-funnel: lead to opportunity). Deal Conversion (opportunity to closed-won) is a separate score planned for a later phase.

**How often does the score update?**

Scores refresh as the underlying company and CRM signals change. If a company's headcount, location, or other tracked signals shift, expect the score and reasons to update accordingly rather than staying static.

**How do I give feedback or report something that looks wrong?**

After joining the beta, you'll get an email with a link to book a short feedback session (15–20 minutes), with an async form alternative if a live session doesn't work for you. You can also flag issues directly to your Lusha contact at any time.
