Bombora Offers Visitor Insights With Real-Time Capabilities for Precise Personalization

EIN News | June 01, 2023 | Read time : 10:00 min

Enterprise businesses and online publications can now obtain demographic, firmographic, and B2B interest data on website visitors. That’s thanks to a low-latency solution from Bombora called Visitor Insights (VI) with Real-Time Capabilities, the company announced today. At the same time, Bombora has begun a search for customers for its pilot program who will receive first access to a new solution, called Bombora Company Surge® Signals, or Signals, for short.

VI with Real-Time Capabilities is the only first-party visitor tag that connects visitors to Bombora’s proprietary Intent data so enterprises and publishers can conduct powerful on-site advertising while simultaneously analyzing their visitors to personalize the content shown and prove value to advertisers.

Signals will enable customers to create target account lists showing Intent that will incorporate sophisticated, proprietary algorithms using Company Surge® data, the user’s goals, and other custom inputs by the user. This new solution integrates results from the user’s Bombora Historical Buyer’s Journey Analysis, delivering insights that are easier to access and apply to their sales and marketing campaigns.

“We tested the competitors, and Bombora’s Visitor Insights performed the best,” said Snowflake Senior Director of Account-Based Marketing Hillary Carpio. “Our marketing intelligence teams appreciate the ability to enable site personalization with enriched visitor data, and particularly the enhancement of the sales signal: The power to know when your active prospects are on your website — at that moment.”

VI with Real-Time Capabilities helps companies accomplish a number of tasks. Among them:

Build and Deliver Audiences: Within Bombora’s Digital Audience Builder, companies can combine VI with Real-Time Capabilities data with Company Surge® data to create targeted ads using even more data points
Historical Visualization for Analysis: Companies can view historical first party data alongside third party data to better understand visitor interest and build stronger account-based campaigns
Javascript response to page: The tag shows companies which topics a particular visitor consumed, enabling the company to feed that data into a third-party tool to learn not just which topics interest them but exactly which pages contain content on those topics and should be used to personalize the homepage to each visitors’ exact interests

“Every business with a website wants to know who’s visiting and why,” said Bombora President Mark Connon. “As it gives new powers to B2B sales and marketing teams, Bombora continues to innovate to serve the growing needs of its enterprise and publishing partners. And as our team creates the next big intent solution, Company Surge® Signals, we welcome the pilot participants who can help us perfect it and shape the future of Intent data.”

Salesloft Survey Shows AI Adoption Soars Among Sales Executives

Business Wire | August 01, 2023

Salesloft, provider of the first and only global AI-powered revenue workflow platform, today released the results of its 2023 State of AI in Sales Survey, which polled more than 500 U.S.-based sales executives. An overwhelming 95% of executives polled report their organization is currently using AI in sales in some capacity, and another 84% say their company has used generative AI in sales in the past year. “Generative AI is transforming nearly every industry right now. While it can help sellers draft pitches and write emails with unprecedented efficiency, the real power of AI lies in its ability to help sellers identify the next best action in their workflows to advance deals and improve the customer experience,” said David Obrand, CEO at Salesloft. “Backed by data-driven insights, AI can build real-time roadmaps that help sellers take the most important and impactful actions in the moment. This is a paradigm shift that will transform how B2B businesses engage with their prospects and customers, ultimately driving more relevant interactions and consistent revenue outcomes.” Salesloft’s survey also found that sales team burnout is rampant as sellers navigate an evolving landscape. More than three quarters (86%) of executives say they’ve noticed an increase in sales team burnout or turnover in the past year. Over half (57%) say they’ve noticed a moderate increase while 31% say they’ve noticed a significant increase. The survey indicated likely contributors to this are: Sellers are swivel-chairing between several software applications to perform their job: 40% of executives say their sellers need to log into 4-5+ applications to perform their job. Non-selling activities take up a significant portion of the sales team’s time: Nearly a third of executives surveyed (29%) said internal meetings and administrative tasks like data entry and CRM updates take up most of their team’s time. Amid this burnout, executives cite the ability to prioritize activities (52%) and increased efficiency and productivity for sales teams (49%) as the top two benefits for using AI in sales. Thirty nine percent of executives expect AI will take over more routine and repetitive tasks, freeing up sellers to focus on higher-value activities. In June 2023, Salesloft launched Rhythm. Powered by a proprietary, patent-pending AI engine called Conductor AI, Rhythm translates real-time buyer signals from across the Salesloft platform and partner integrations into a single prioritized workflow of the most important and impactful actions a seller should take in the moment. Unlike anything else on the market, Rhythm provides an explanation of why the action is important, building trust and intuition in sellers. “Watching my reps go through their Rhythm workflow is fantastic. They just run through their steps one by one, one click at a time,” said Vedant Namboodiri, Global Sales Operations Manager at Cin7. “Rhythm has been incredibly valuable in reducing the time our reps spend on admin and increasing the time they spend with customers. It makes me stop and think, 'Where was this when I was a seller?'" To learn more about Salesloft’s latest platform innovations and its recent launch of Rhythm, visit https://bit.ly/rhythmannounced. Research Methodology Salesloft collected responses between May 23 and June 13, 2023, from more than 500 executive-level revenue professionals responsible for selling products or services to other businesses (B2B).

Apollo.io Secures $100 Million Series D at $1.6B Valuation to Make World-Class Go-To-Market Accessible to All

PR Newswire | August 31, 2023

Apollo.io, the leading go-to-market (GTM) solution for sales and marketing teams, announced today that it has raised $100M in Series D funding led by Bain Capital Ventures (BCV), with participation from existing investors Sequoia Capital, Tribe Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners. Following the company's Series C in March 2022, this investment brings the company's total funding to approximately $250 million while nearly doubling the valuation of the company at $1.6 billion. The company has grown revenue 9x over the last two years and currently serves over three million GTM professionals at over 500,000 companies from startups to global enterprises including Qualtrics, Customer.io, and Census. This cash injection will allow it to more than double employee count to continue building the next generation of GTM. Sales today is more challenging than ever before. The traditional go-to-market tech stack includes disparate tools that are complex to set up, difficult to integrate, cost-prohibitive to most businesses, and most importantly, offer no intelligent end-to-end GTM guidance. According to Salesforce's 2022 State of Sales Report, sales teams use an average of 10 tools to close deals and reps say they're only spending 28 percent of their week actually selling, with the majority of their time consumed by other tasks like deal management and data entry. By building sales intelligence, engagement, and execution workflows on top of Apollo's proprietary B2B buyer database, Apollo enables sales and marketing teams to operationalize their go-to-market strategy, generate pipeline, win deals, and improve team performance with AI-driven GTM guidance — all in one streamlined platform. "In line with our mission to make world-class go-to-market solutions simple and accessible to all, we have experienced unprecedented product-led growth during a time of economic uncertainty," said Tim Zheng, Co-Founder and CEO at Apollo. "Our investors, led by Bain Capital Ventures, bring a new level of sophistication to the table that will accelerate Apollo.io's journey from startup to scaleup. We look forward to expanding our offering for sales professionals to effectively target, engage, and convert buyers into long-lasting customers." Some of the world's largest and most influential enterprise organizations trust Apollo.io to connect and convert quickly and efficiently with key decision-makers to unlock more revenue. Apollo.io is now the No. 1 ranked Sales Intelligence and Sales Engagement solution on G2, empowering sellers to find and prioritize prospects who are actively looking to buy. "Tim and the Apollo team have built a remarkable B2B platform that we believe will redefine the next generation of go-to-market sales," said Merritt Hummer, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures. "Once companies experience Apollo's buyer database coupled with powerful automation tools for lead generation and beyond, they're hooked. We see the company providing the foundation for GTM teams everywhere in the future, driving direct sales at an unprecedented scale." Apollo.io's success and position in the market has led to an influx of world-class tech talent, recently adding Leandra Fishman as Chief Revenue Officer from Intercom and SendGrid/Twilio, Dzmitry Markovich as SVP of Engineering from Dapper Labs and Dropbox, and Shek Viswanathan as a Chief Product Officer from Qualtrics. Having more than doubled headcount in 2023, Apollo.io plans to grow to 1,000 team members by 2025 across engineering, marketing and sales, design, product, legal, and people operations — an increase of 122 percent. The company is remote-first, employing 450 team members who are fully distributed across 30 countries globally. Apply to join the Apollo.io team today. "Apollo.io has built the ideal unified GTM platform — from data to engagement to deal execution to forecasting — and is in a fabulous position to combine Generative AI with their B2B buyer database to optimize and ultimately re-invent sales software." Sonya Huang, Partner at Sequoia Capital "It has been a privilege for us to be part of Apollo.io's journey since inception and see them disrupt the sales-tech space. Apollo.io is democratizing access to intelligent go-to-market software globally. It's becoming one of the most ubiquitously used platforms across categories. Apollo.io's intuitive self-serve product along with user-friendly pricing has helped expand its reach beyond sales professionals and tech businesses. We love the Apollo.io team's obsession with delighting users and maximizing consumer surplus. The new round will help the company further invest in R&D and make its product even more powerful." - Abhishek Sharma, Managing Director at Nexus Venture Partners About Apollo.io Apollo.io is the leading go-to-market solution for revenue teams, trusted by over 500,000 companies and millions of users globally, from rapidly growing startups to some of the world's largest enterprises.
