Manage Intent Rules

The Intent Score indicates buyers who are showing strong purchasing intentions based on their actions in the digital and physical worlds. A higher Intent Score signals the interest and readiness of the account to move forward in the buying process. In Prospecting Center, you can turn on or turn off the Intent Score. By default, the Intent Score is turned off.
