6sense Revenue AI is the most comprehensive platform that puts the power of AI, big data, and machine learning in the hands of every member of the revenue team. With 6sense Revenue AI, revenue teams can capture anonymous buying signals, target the right accounts at precisely the right time, and boost revenue performance with recommendations for the channels and messages most likely to convert. All of that activity paves a path toward predictable revenue growth so marketing, sales and customer success teams can remove the guesswork that creates waste and inefficiency in their day-to-day work.
Their roadmap commitments for 2022 include:
- More data, more data operations and enrichment, more reporting. 6sense will provide technographic intelligence so organisations can contextualise data and target their best opportunities.
- Orchestrating everything. AI orchestrations and workflows are a big part of the roadmap, because they make revenue teams jobs easier, while also expanding the universe of what’s possible.
About 6sense
6sense was founded in 2013 on a simple but profound idea: Knowing when buyers were ready to buy could vastly improve the B2B buying experience — and increase revenue. It would take best-in-class data, analytics, and AI, but the founders knew they could predict buyer readiness and put game-changing insights into the hands of the people who needed them most — B2B marketers and sellers. 6sense launched the world’s first B2B sales and marketing predictive intelligence platform in 2014. By 2020, 6sense was cited as a leader by Forrester in their Forrester New Wave™: Account-Based Marketing Platforms report.
About 6sense’s solutions
Today’s B2B selling environment has evolved. Purchase decisions are made by teams of stakeholders. They prefer to remain anonymous until deep into the buying journey. And years of annoying tactics has made them more resistant to efforts than ever.
Simultaneously, B2B organisations face inefficiencies and silos in their pursuit of revenue attainment, retention, and growth. That results in false leads, long sales cycles, wasted time, burned-out salespeople, and inaccurate revenue projections.
6sense addresses that by applying the power of AI across the entire buyers’ journey, removing the guesswork that plagues revenue teams, providing a better customer experience, and producing a high-quality pipeline that is more likely to convert to revenue.
About 6sense’s customers
6sense’s ideal customer is any B2B company seeking a competitive advantage through AI, powerful data, and solutions for the entire revenue team. 75% of their customers are tech companies, but the customer base increasingly includes other industries, like manufacturing, financial services, and healthcare and life sciences. As the only ABM platform to put the power of AI into the hands of marketing, sales, customer success, and operations, buying team personas and active platform users are represented on each of these teams, from the c-suite to BDRs and entry-level revops specialists.
