Using B2B Data to Drive Customer Engagement

B2B data is defined as a collection of data points on people and organizations. For any company, this data is the key to acquiring more customers, personalizing customer interaction, and increasing retention.

Moreover, enhanced data is clean, structured, and free of errors. The completeness and integrity of enhanced data enables companies to quickly leverage data to yield results. 

So, how can data be used to retain customers? By querying for specific parameters, a company can pull a personalized dataset and use it to systematically identify, track, and target customers. Using an analytical approach to outbound leads leads to higher retention rates.

  • Engineering teams are unable to train machine learning algorithms for automation due to a lack of information on existing customers.

  • If a company loses an opportunity during a nurture or email drip campaign, they are unable to track the point of exit in order to reduce bounce rates without data.

Solutions:

  • Use people data to know when it’s the right time

  • Embrace automation and eliminate busy work

    With an automated platform, companies can interact with existing customers and re-engage them with data-driven content marketing, advertisements, email drips, and social media.
