Resetting the score and SFDC API calls limit

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on redoing the scoring process to better match our sales funnel (and because our previous one wasn't really meaningful). I need to reset over 150,000 leads to zero. My problem is that I run into the API call limit with Salesforce if I update the score all at once. I also need to run a few batch campaigns to reset the Demographic score using the new parameters. Any suggestion on how to proceed would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Franco

Hi Franco,
I have heard of Salesforce temporarily taking the API limit off for projects like these. I would suggest to contact them to see if that is possible.

Otherwise, you could set up campaigns with wait steps of 1 day and segment your scoring resets. For example, you could reset every lead who's email address starts with a-c tomorrow, then d-g the next day, etc...

Thank you Will! I was hoping to avoid having to segment the data, also because after resetting the score to zero, I have to run at least 10/15 batches campaign to "rescore" leads with the new indications......
