With first-party data and audience insights captured during ON24 digital experiences, organizations can dynamically personalize webinars, content hubs, and landing pages with logos and banners, as well as content based on an individual’s title, company, industry, and interests.

Account-based personalization in ON24 Webcast Elite, ON24 Engagement Hub, and ON24 Target enables organizations to deliver personalized experiences at scale across accounts, contacts, and individual interests.

With the ON24 platform, sales and marketing can engage multiple contacts as part of a company’s buying committee and accelerate conversion. Take ABM execution to the next level with the following account-based personalization capabilities:

Create dynamic greetings – use audience data to customize experiences with personalized greetings and messages based on a prospect or customer’s buying persona
Drive targeted engagement – easily reach known and unknown users with personalized communications and follow-up experiences tailored to the contact and account
Customize branding – automatically display a prospect or customer’s company logo within an ON24 experience, with no uploads or manual customization

Account-based personalization capabilities are available now.

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). Of those surveyed, 31% identified as VP, RevOps, 24% as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), 13% as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), 18% as Sales Director, 7% as RevOps Leader and 7% as Sales Vice President (VP). Survey Breakdown by Company Size (Annual Revenue) 09% $100 Million – $500 Million 24% $500 Million – $1 Billion 34% $1 Billion – $10 Billion 31% More than $10 Billion 02% About Salesloft Salesloft is the first AI-powered revenue workflow platform that brings certainty to every revenue action and customer interaction.

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.
