A Python script to separate leads into 'qualified' and 'unqualified' lists based on certain criteria

lead_qualifier.py

# Let's return to our list of leads, but add some additional information
# that we can use to qualify them
leads = [
    {'first_name': 'Paul', 'last_name': 'McCartney', 'company': 'Beatles Inc.',
        'title': 'Chief Marketing Officer', 'employees': 150,
        'vertical': 'music'},
    {'first_name': 'Nina', 'last_name': 'Simone' , 'company': 'Jazz & Soul',
        'title': 'CEO', 'employees': 350, 'vertical': 'music'},
    {'first_name': 'Michael', 'last_name': 'Jagger',
        'company': 'Rolling Stone Corp', 'title': 'SVP Marketing',
        'employees': 93, 'vertical': 'music'},
    {'first_name': 'Marilyn', 'last_name': 'Monroe',
        'company': 'Hollywood Industries', 'title': 'CMO', 'employees': 200,
        'vertical': 'movies'}
]

# We'll make an empty list of qualified and unqualified leads to sort our
# leads into
qualified = []
unqualified = []

# Next, we use another for loop to check each of our leads against certain
# criteria.
for lead in leads:
    # For each lead, we use an 'if' statement to check if they should be
    # qualified. We can use 'or' and 'and' statements to compare multiple
    # things
    if (lead['employees'] > 100 and lead['vertical'] == 'music'
        and (lead['title'] == "CMO" or lead['title'] == "Chief Marketing Officer")):
            # If the lead has more than 100 employees, is in the music vertical
            # and has the title "CMO or Chief Marketing Officer", add them
            # to the qualified list
            qualified.append(lead['first_name'])
    else:
        # If the lead fails the qualifying test, add them to the unqualified
        # list
        unqualified.append(lead['first_name'])

# Now let's take a look at our qualified and unqualified lists:
print "Qualified: ", qualified
print "Unqualified: ", unqualified
