Here are the 10 ways B2B marketing teams are leveraging the power of intent to fill their pipelines, engage targets, and guide prospects all the way to a sale. Maybe your organization wants to leverage intent data but is not able to allocate the necessary budget or the manpower to build an in-house solution. A more workable alternative might be to import ready-to-work leads generated by an intent monitoring platform. When reviewing possible lead generation partners — like content syndicators and tele-prospecting sources — be sure to ask vendors whether they use intent data in generating the leads they send you, and listen carefully to their responses.

Selling or marketing to someone you have limited insights on is like trying to hit a piñata blindfolded. You have a general idea of where it is, but without knowing its exact whereabouts, you’re taking swings in the dark, and more often than not—you’ll miss your target.

Responsive buyer experiences and relevant content across channels have always been the top criteria for mature, highperforming, omnichannel account-based orchestrations. But much of today’s conversation revolves around linear, top-down campaigns, where the target account is placed in a marketing or sales play, operating within a siloed platform throughout the buyer’s journey. The result is often antithetical to the desired buyer “experience.” Operating without the necessary data management, intent, prediction, and consistent personalization, these platforms cannot deliver high-performing orchestration simply by slapping a new name on the same old ABM technology. In a rush to accelerate the delivery of “account-based experiences” (ABX), the platforms that support it have become a critical bottleneck, creating yet another siloed system that adds to the complexity and undermines the outcomes it is intended to improve.
