Satish says: “Sales intelligence must be one of the most researched topics in the new millennium. With the emergence of the new-age ‘connected’ buyer, close to 65% of buying decisions are made even before they contact a vendor/supplier for the required product or service.”
The game-changer for sellers is how to identify a prospect early in their buying cycle and navigate them through the journey, while increasing the chances of selecting your product or service. The era of having calling lists with right party contacts and cold calling them for a possible breakthrough are long gone.”
Satish also offers the top benefits to applying a sales intelligence tool to your business:
- Find the right contacts more quickly.
- Gain insights on your competitors, the buying habits of prospective clients, and their position in the marketplace.
- Automate and centralise data on both cold-call and established contacts.
- Increase general sales volume with increased automation and data accuracy.
- Improve sales efforts targeted at prospects that are more prepared to buy.

This gives the sales folks the opportunity to identify customers based on firmographics, technographics and intent. So, in lieu of focusing on 1000 potential companies or contacts, they can narrow down to the most relevant 50 buyers using the tools provided.”

Satish continues: “SalesWings is another innovator in this space wherein they help with lead scoring mechanism based on their ability to track a prospects journey and engagement with the customers content on their website.”

Satish says: “Data provided by sales intelligence products can be sourced both externally and internally and can include multiple inputs of data from website traffic, social media, organizational structures, technology usage, and market information. This kind of data capture is integral in making sure the collected prospect information is accurate.”
