Priority lead notifications
How do priority lead notifications work?
How do priority lead notifications work?
HoneyBook’s priority lead insights employ a powerful, machine learning model that predicts booking likeliness and high revenue potential. In short: the model recognizes your most valuable leads and notifies you about them right away.
Whenever a lead comes in via HoneyBook contact form or HoneyBook lead form, you’ll receive a priority lead mobile push notification for any inquiry that the model determines is more likely to book and/or book a high-value project, compared to your company’s other leads. This notification will also appear in your notification center on desktop.
What predictors does the priority lead notifications model use?
What predictors does the priority lead notifications model use?
To determine which leads are most valuable, the model takes into account various factors relative to your company, such as lead source, project type, project budget, and project date/time. Additionally, the model leverages historical data from your profile, including average project revenue, booked dates, and conversion rates, to enhance the notifications.
📚 Tip
Receiving a priority lead notification does not guarantee that the lead will book or book a higher value, but it does indicate that the lead is more likely to, for the majority of leads.
As your business grows and accumulates more historical data, this model continues to learn and improve. All information is kept strictly anonymous and confidential.

For new leads
When a new lead comes in via HoneyBook lead form or contact form, your company name, industry type, and the fields of the contact form are received by the AI writing assistant. The assistant drafts up a suggested response in real-time: an email reply that's personally tailored to your lead and matches your tone.
For client emails
The AI writing assistant for project emails takes in the historical communication from the corresponding project, project context, and your own personal style; then uses this information to generate a suggested email reply.
Custom prompts
The AI writing assistant takes in your custom prompts, historical communication and your company details, then uses this information to generate a suggested email reply.
