What is IntentInfo?

IntentInfo is sales and marketing intelligence. Today’s IntentInfo generally observes actions taken online with content, competitors, events, influencers and social media that indicate research and potential purchase.

Consider this: Only 3% of potential buyers for any product or service are in the market at any given time. That means marketing dollars and outbound sales efforts are wasted. IntentInfo helps you know who’s in-market so you engage the right people, at the right time, with the right message.

IntentInfo solves these marketing and sales challenges:

• It increases qualified leads, shortens sell cycles and boosts close rates
• It focuses marketing resources on active buyers
• It helps reduce churn and boosts cross-selling

It also provides these benefits for marketing and sales teams:

Improved efficiency: Because they’re focused on actual buyers in active accounts, marketing and sales teams are more efficient. IntentInfo supports multiple marketing and sales use cases.

Shorter sales cycle: Pipeline quality is improved because your teams are focused on intent-qualified leads and not just someone who stopped by your trade show booth, for example.

Increased win rates: When salespeople focus on active buyers, they close more deals.

IntentInfo can dramatically increase leads and conversions, but you have to use it correctly. Combining B2B buyer IntentInfo with firmographic and technographic information provides BDRs the context they need for efficient outbound sales.

Company surge data helps to prioritize target and ABM accounts and uncover new opportunities.

Types of IntentInfo

There are three categories of IntentInfo: first-party, second-party and third-party.

First-party IntentInfo

First-party IntentInfo is the information you already collect on known contacts and anonymous visitors. It can include prospect interactions with your website, emails and social channels. It can be used to segment communications, create workflows and score leads, and helps marketing and sales intuit how to approach a prospect.

Second-party IntentInfo

Second-party IntentInfo is collected by another company. Sources of second-party IntentInfo usually include review sites or publishing networks. The user grants the company permission to share or sell their behavior — sometimes with their contact details.

Third-party IntentInfo

Third-party IntentInfo is collected from all over the internet, although some models only monitor a network of sites. This IntentInfo is usually mined using three approaches: reverse IP lookup, bidstream data from ad networks and widgets, and media exchange/publishing members.

Common Uses for IntentInfo

• Building highly targeted prospect lists
• Account-based marketing (ABM)
• Personalized outbound sales at scale
• Remarketing to competitors’ prospects
• Event marketing
