Lead scoring reset for above 100 score leads

[Anonymous]

We initiated the lead scoring but I wanted to know if some lead crosses a threshold of 100 and by chance the sales team does not change the status and rating as archived (incase the lead is to be archived ) the score of leads then tends to accrue often inflating to 150 + .How can we reset the score. What is the best practice on this? Should I run a batch campaign every 1 or  2 months resetting scores greater than 150

There are really few things you could have in place. 

A score ceiling as shown below. 


You also need to have a decay program in place to lower the score as they become inactive. 

If a lead is inactive for long enough (say 90 days) depending on your buying cycle  you could reset their score completely.

Jeff has the right idea.
There are several threads on score decay and inflation - just do a quick search.

Usually with a decay score you can run this daily, but leads only flow through every 30 days:

Smart List: if no activity (or score hasn't changed) in past 30 days (usually I use Not Visited Web Page, Not Opened Email, Not Clicked in Email, etc...)

Flow: Score IS -20 (or more or less)

Also have several negative scoring campaigns for email bounced, unsubscribed, and other bad behaviors.

This might help too
