The only thing you need to get started is an email address.

Technically, two email addresses: yours to sign up and a prospect's to score. How can it be so easy? Because Summit bundles together the features that are typically scattered across multiple vendors, all while staying flexible for the future.

Summit overview
Enrichment - icon

Enrichment Included

By default, Summit bundles Clearbit’s leading data service. Want to substitute or extend it with your own data anyway?  No problem, you can do that too.

ICP - icon

Ideal Customer profiles

Summit’s lead scoring model lets you define your ICP using every popular attribute: from job title to funding raised to annual revenue. You can even use the contact’s location to score by distance.

Starter Scoring Models That Work

We get it, your goal is to get to a score that you can start using and refining. That’s why Summit doesn’t ask you to build anything to get started.

Workflow - icon

Connectivity (Loads)

Similar to the much-loved Zapier, you can connect to Summit from any and every workflow already in your marketing repertoire, without a limit. Your CRM? Check. Your marketing automation platform? Yep. Even Zapier itself!

No code - icon

No-Code Editing

You don’t want another black box. Scores need to be easy to edit, extend, and adjust over time, all while being able to explain them to your teammates. Summit’s no-code editor addresses this head-on.

Behavior scoring - icon

Behavioral Scoring

It’s nice to know a lead is a fit in theory, but what about in practice? Summit includes an intent-scoring model that accounts for recency so you can see which visitors, signups, or trials are the hottest.

How Summit works

We don't think it can get any easier (but let us know!).

Score leads against your ideal customer profile

Your starter models in Summit come pre-configured with the most popular attributes for scoring leads and intent, and a few attributes no one else has. Want more? Awesome. Summit is completely extensible.

Revenue - icon

Annual Revenue

Revenue numbers are a popular proxy into an organization’s maturity, goals, and level of fit for a solution like yours.  When do people start needing what you have?

Company size - icon

Company Size & Funding

Headcount and bank accounts may be vanity metrics, but it can tell you a lot about the odds an organization has the pains you’re designed to solve.

Job title - icon

Job Title & Role

What rank, title, and role does this contact have? Easily match all or part of their attributes to help measure their importance to closing a deal.

Behavior - icon

Behavior

Our extensible intent scoring model allows you to score visits, opens, clicks, and signups based on their recency while also decaying the value over time.

Location - icon

Location

For many businesses, the world may be your oyster, but certain cities are your pearls. Score a prospect based on their proximity to your target geography (U.S. & Canada).

Weather - icon

Weather

It’s the original icebreaker and drives a surprising percentage of buying decisions in many consumer categories. We also think it’s the great flex to include in our offering, so we did.

Designed to support innovators.

Start scoring leads even when you only have a small list leads, a few customers, or a tiny budget.

Works from day zero.

Most lead scoring involves running an extensive analysis of a large customer database to determine your ICP. At Summit, we know that customer data can be in-the-future, or messy, or the situation can be "dynamic”. Summit lets you get started with even a loose definition of your target prospect.

Feature check

Fuzzy or Strict

In the early days, your ICP starts out blurry. As it becomes clear, Summit allows you to increase the strictness of your matching to draw sharper segments and greater contrast.

Create an ideal customer profile.

During onboarding, you’ll define your first ideal customer profile (ICP) using a set of dropdowns. Don’t worry, you can always get more fancy.

“Sweet Spot” Evaluation

Most scoring solutions focus on defining minimum thresholds to weed out unqualified prospects. Summit flips the lens and focuses on measuring the distance between a prospect and your ideal.

Ambiguity happens, especially in the early days of a company, product, or service. With Summit, you can be as strict or flexible on your ICP as you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our approach, our pricing, and how we support you.

1. What is Summit and how does it score leads?
Plus

Leads in Summit are first enriched, augmented with any data you provide from your own customer data platform, and then scored using an algorithm you can fully control and edit.

3. Can Summit integrate with my current CRM or marketing automation platform?
Plus

Because Summit is built with an API-first mindset, Summit is the most flexible and connected lead scoring tool on the market. You can literally call your scoring model in Summit from any tool that can make a web request.

5. What makes Summit’s approach to scoring leads more effective than traditional methods?
Plus

Rather than creating and managing a growing list of filters (>, <, =) inside your marketing workflows, Summit gives you the ability to define and store your numerical “sweet spot” in a model that you can call from anywhere. This model doesn’t just tell if a lead is in or out of a segment (qualification), but also how close it is to your ideal profile (ICP). You can also define multiple ICP’s in Summit in case you have multiple products and services.

7. What kind of technical support and training does Summit provide?
Plus

Summit offers all new customers a personalized training session 1-1 with a member of our team where you can ask questions and make changes to your model on the spot. We can offer additional development services to enterprise customers.

9. How can Summit’s lead scoring impact my marketing ROI?
Plus

Scoring has traditionally been used to qualify leads, to avoid wasting time on low-quality or unqualified opportunities. Your scoring model in Summit provides the additional benefit of showing you which leads are a very strong fit, allowing you to route these VIP leads to content, conversations, and campaigns that can dramatically improve your onboarding, conversion, and retention rates.

11. How does Summit ensure the accuracy of its lead scoring?
Plus

Summit provides you with two scoring apps as starters.  Since the way they work (how the score is calculated) is totally transparent, you are welcome to modify to taste. Also, because every model has an API, you can even run your scoring model on hypothetical (test) prospect data to see what scores you’d get if your dream prospect showed up tomorrow.

2. How does Summit’s data enrichment work, and what sources are used?
Plus

Our included enrichment feature uses Clearbit’s industry-leading data service. By bundling this data, you can skip the step of needing to bring this data to the table when you score your leads.

4. How does Summit differentiate between lead scoring and intent scoring?
Plus

Lead scoring is what we call scoring based on demographics and firmographics—factual traits about a contact or contact organization has. Intent scoring, on the other hand, is based on behaviors or actions done by a contact that signal interest in purchasing or re-purchasing your product or service.

6. Can I customize the scoring model to fit my specific industry or business needs?
Plus

Absolutely! The scoring algorithm in Summit is completely transparent and yours to edit, extend, and modify. The editing you can do in Summit is very similar to the math functions you’d find inside a spreadsheet. We’re also happy to jump in and help you make modifications.

8. Is there a trial period, and what are the subscription plans for Summit?
Plus

Most users can test and evaluate Summit in an afternoon, and Summit offers a 7-day free trial (with a credit card) where you can connect one or more of your marketing workflows and score up to 1,000 contacts for free. Subscriptions are available as monthly, annual, or multi-year agreements. Pricing includes access to a dedicated feature set based on the needs of your business. Standard subscriptions include access to training materials and onboarding support. Custom plans include additional hands-on support from the Summit team for building apps and models, implementation, and API’s for integrating Summit into your sales & marketing stack.

10. Can Summit adapt to changes in my business strategy or market trends?
Plus

Because Summit can store and hold as many ideal customer profiles (ICP’s) as you want, Summit is a great place to develop new ICP definitions that you can test right alongside your existing customer base, without the pain of updating or modifying filters (>, <, =) across your marketing stack.
