Abstract: A lead is described by an individual or organization with an interest in the products or services that an entity sells. Machine Learning appears to be a very effective way of improving the performance of the corporate leads. Predicting the suc-cess of new leads is a critical aspect to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of mar-keting, and to tackle this problem. It has been proposed in this paper a solution sup-ported in the Machine Learning approach. This solution is implemented to increase the winning probability of leads. The Logistics Regression has been selected as a final with Accuracy above 80% with the value of area under the ROC curve (AUC) is high (0.89). “Lead Score” >=85 are hot leads and should be targeted first. Around 80% of total conversions could be attained by targeting 50% of the total client base. There are 13 important features from the final model. The top 7 features have a positive impact on lead conversion. The bottom 6 features have impacted lead conversion negatively. Deep Learning models like Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Sequence Model (LSTM) can be tested on both original data and additional data for future scope.
