Market to In-Market Accounts

Share the in-market account list with marketing, and expose these accounts to your message before your initial sales touch. So that each contact has an idea of what your company offers as a solution for their needs. It also gives contacts a journey to link back to. 

Your marketing team will use the list to warm accounts, and you can collaborate with them to ensure your strategy and messaging are cohesive, boosting your likelihood of success when you make those initial sales touches.

Cold Outreach? No Problem.

The in-market accounts list makes cold outreach as simple as reaching out to an old friend, helping BDRs and AEs know precisely who to get in touch with. With the list right in front of you, you’ll have a much better chance of reaching the right person within the buying cycle with the right information. The research is done for you in the in-market accounts list, so you’ll have key details to cut down on admin work and focus more time on closing accounts most likely to convert.

A Backstage Pass to Your Targets’ Interests

The in-market account list clues you into which topics are of interest to your target accounts. This can provide a laser-focused approach to help sales reps ensure the right person is reached. Then, sales collateral can more effectively appeal to various customers based on their given needs and interests, so you can facilitate discussions pertinent to those given topics. This way, your sales outreach will be targeted, positioning the team for an increase of 3 to 5x engagement.
