How Granicus Doubled Win Rates with AI-Powered Account Scoring

Granicus's account scoring model, in place since 2017, had grown stale — it was static, used only 5-10 variables, and did not leverage modern AI or machine learning, resulting in decreased sales team engagement and a narrowing gap between high- and low-target accounts.

Stage 1 · Multi-source data ingestion
The model incorporates over 50 different variables including CRM data, website information, and federal agency data.

Outcome

The new AI-powered scoring model produced a 200% increase in win rates for high-target accounts, revealed that 25-30% of pipeline efforts had been directed at low win-rate accounts enabling better resource allocation, and drove adoption across sales, marketing, and executive teams.

What failed first

The existing static model with only 5-10 variables was no longer effective, causing decreased sales team engagement and eroding scoring differentiation between high- and low-target accounts.
