LEAD QUALIFICATION ENGINE

A Soft Credit Check for Lead Qualification — On the Leads You Already Have

LeadFi runs a soft credit check for lead qualification on the leads your funnel already captures — from just name, email, and phone, after they opt in. It's a soft-credit pre-screen, so there's no hard inquiry and no impact to the consumer's credit. Each lead comes back with the financial-readiness signals you configure plus a routing decision — qualified (SQL) or not-yet (NQL) — that your CRM can act on instantly. We are not a lead source, and we are not a lender.

A soft credit check for lead qualification is a soft credit pull that pre-screens opted-in leads to gauge financial readiness before your team spends time on them. LeadFi runs it from just name, email, and phone after a lead opts in on your own form, returns VantageScore 4.0 and buying-power signals, and routes each lead as SQL (qualified) or NQL (not yet). Because it's a soft pull, it does not impact the consumer's credit.

WHAT IS A SOFT CREDIT CHECK FOR LEAD QUALIFICATION?

A soft credit check for lead qualification is a compliant, soft credit pull that pre-screens prospects who have already opted in on your form. It reads financial-readiness signals like VantageScore 4.0, available credit, estimated income, and debt-to-income (DTI) so you can score and route leads by real buying power. Because it's a soft pull, it does not impact the consumer's credit. LeadFi is the qualification and routing layer that runs this pre-screen and hands a clean SQL/NQL decision to your CRM. It is not lead generation and it is not a lender.

What lands in your CRM

The signals you get back on every lead

Every pre-screened lead comes back as a structured readiness profile your CRM can route on. Below is an illustrative, fictional lead record — no real consumer data — showing the signals LeadFi returns.

You choose which signals each pre-screen returns. Configure them per package in the dashboard.

How it works

HOW LEADFI QUALIFIES YOUR LEADS

  1. LEAD OPTS IN ON YOUR FORM

    A prospect submits your existing form, funnel, or booking page with name, email, and phone. Nothing changes for them and nothing new is sold to you — these are leads you already have, on flows you already own.

  2. SOFT PRE-SCREEN RUNS

    LeadFi runs a soft credit pull and enrichment on that contact. It returns configurable financial-readiness signals — VantageScore 4.0, available credit, estimated income, debt-to-income (DTI), and funding or financing pre-approval indicators. The soft pull does not impact the consumer's credit.

  3. ROUTE BY BUYING POWER

    LeadFi applies your thresholds and returns a routing decision — SQL (qualified) or NQL (not yet), with tiers — then pushes it to your CRM. Qualified leads go straight to booking or sales; not-yet leads route to a lower-ticket or financing path. LeadFi decides routing, never lending — no approve/deny and no credit decision.

SQL vs NQL

SQL / NQL ROUTING TIERS

LeadFi converts raw financial-readiness signals into a routing decision your team can act on instantly. You set the thresholds; LeadFi returns a tiered SQL or NQL label so high-buying-power prospects reach a human fast and everyone else lands in the right lower-friction path. Tiers below are illustrative — you configure the cutoffs that fit your offer and price point.

  • SQL · Tier 1≈ $10k–$30k in accessible buying power. Financially qualified — route to a booked call.
  • SQL · Tier 2≈ $30k–$50k in accessible buying power. Prioritize on the calendar ahead of unscored leads.
  • SQL · Tier 3≈ $50k+ in accessible buying power. Route straight to your top closer for speed-to-lead.
  • Tier 0 · Funding / financingMeets the financing lane — default ≈ $100k+ income and ≤ 50% DTI. Flag for a funding or financing path.
  • NQL · Not yetUnder ≈ $10k in accessible buying power today. Route to a lower-ticket offer, payment plan, or nurture — never a wasted call slot.

Defaults shown — every threshold is adjustable, or score by VantageScore 4.0 credit dials instead. These are routing tiers you configure; LeadFi never approves, denies, or lends.

Why it matters

WHY PRE-SCREEN LEADS BY FINANCIAL READINESS

STOP SELLING TO PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BUY

Your closers spend hours on leads who could never afford the offer. Pre-screening by buying power puts qualified prospects in front of your team first, so calendar time goes to people with real capacity to purchase. Reported results vary.

ROUTE ON DATA, NOT A GUESS

Manual lead scoring relies on gut feel and form fields people fudge. A soft credit pre-screen returns objective financial-readiness signals, so SQL/NQL routing runs on data — automatically, the moment a lead opts in.

A DIGNIFIED PATH FOR EVERYONE

Leads who aren't ready for the high-ticket offer aren't discarded — they're routed to a lower-ticket offer or financing path that fits them. You protect closer time and buyer experience at once, with no approve/deny and no credit decision.

Dev-first

BUILT FOR YOUR STACK — REST API, MCP & NO-CODE

LeadFi ships three ways to plug in. Use the REST API to pre-screen a contact on form submit and route on the response, run the MCP server inside Claude or Cursor to qualify leads agentically, or drop in the no-code form-routing script to sit behind your existing forms and funnels with no engineering. Every call returns financial-readiness signals plus an SQL/NQL routing decision your CRM can act on.

Optimizations you'd turn on

Each % is an average reported by LeadFi clients — illustrative, and your results will vary.

Financing is provided by third parties and is subject to their approval — LeadFi flags who may be a fit; it isn't a lender and doesn't approve or fund anyone.

Estimates for illustration only — not a guarantee, prediction, or promise of earnings. This is a best-case stack with every optimization working together — most businesses turn on only some, and these levers overlap in real funnels, so combined results are usually lower than the numbers multiplied together. Every figure is hypothetical and individual results vary; your actual outcome depends on your offer, traffic, pricing, and execution. LeadFi provides the financial-readiness data and routing — it is not a lender, makes no credit decisions, and does not guarantee revenue, funding, or approval.

FAQ

Common questions

Does a soft credit check hurt the lead's credit?
No. LeadFi uses a soft credit pull, which does not impact the consumer's credit or appear as a hard inquiry to lenders. It runs only after the lead opts in on your form.
Is LeadFi a lender or a lead-generation service?
Neither. LeadFi qualifies, enriches, and routes leads you already have. It does not generate, buy, or sell new leads, and it makes no approve/deny or credit decisions — it returns financial-readiness signals and an SQL/NQL routing decision only.
What signals does the pre-screen return?
Configurable financial-readiness signals: VantageScore 4.0, available credit, estimated income, debt-to-income (DTI), and funding or financing pre-approval indicators — plus a routing decision (SQL or NQL, with tiers) for your CRM.
What information do you need to run it?
Just the lead's name, email, and phone, captured on your own opt-in form. LeadFi handles the soft-credit pre-screen and enrichment from there and returns the readiness profile to your CRM.
Is this compliant?
LeadFi performs soft-credit pre-screening on opted-in leads and is not a lender, so it makes no credit decisions. You control consent capture and thresholds. Consult your own compliance counsel for your specific program.
How does LeadFi fit my existing tools?
It sits behind your current forms, funnels, calendars, and CRM. Integrate via the REST API, the MCP server for Claude or Cursor, or the no-code form-routing script — no need to rebuild your funnel.
