Successful organizations should utilize B2B data to curate lead lists for the top of the sales funnel. This data is then acted upon through several initiatives such as qualifying new leads, cold-calling, and progressing lead status. The depth and accuracy of a company’s data enables them to find high-quality leads with a high response rate. This increases customer acquisition and retention.

Data-Driven Lead Generation Methods Include:

Using B2B Data to Personalize Outreach

Having insight on your audiences’ names, phone numbers, emails, current titles, locations, and more gives you the ability to reach out in a personalized manner via intercom, emails, and cold calling. Through personalized outreach, you are able to qualify leads and easily identify a customer’s needs.

Scoring Incoming Leads

Once you collect enough leads from your outreach strategies, you can then score them using accurate B2B  data. By assigning a numerical value to each lead, basing their score off of personal information and employment history,you can prioritize and target the most likely to buy customers.

Enriching Existing Sales Lists & CRM

With accurate data, you can consistently update CRM applications such as Salesforce and Marketing Cloud, adding additional data points to your accounts at the moment new data is received.
