Personnel News Signal External.

Personnel changes create great prospecting opportunities. When a new person is hired, they typically look to make their mark in the first 90 days, including evaluating existing technology and services — and buying new ones. 

Connecting with these new hires at the start of their new role gives you the chance to influence their agenda and increase the odds of winning a deal. Plus, a new job is a natural conversation starter because people will be fielding plenty of congratulations from their extended networks. 

Personnel moves can also reveal strategic changes. Knowing which companies are expanding hiring in data science or corporate finance can tell you a lot about the direction they’re headed in the near future.

Churned customers aren’t always gone for good. You can often win them back if you resolve their reasons for leaving, such as adding new features or improvements to a product.

Record the reasons for every lost customer and segment them into high-level categories, such as pricing, budget, product features, and customer experience. Capture relevant details, including desired features that didn’t exist or a problem with your customer service.

Start campaigns with messages tailored to these reasons that acknowledge prior limitations and subsequent improvements. Combine the message with a free trial offer to win back the customer.

Firmographics and technographics help identify which companies are your potential customers. Intent data lets you know which companies are actively searching for a solution like yours.

Intent data casts a broad net across the internet to gather top-of-funnel signals about the issues, solutions, technologies, and vendors that potential buyers research before buying. This early visibility on developing opportunities gives your sales teams a head start on the competition.

Select intent topics related to your business and monitor when a specific account, or set of accounts, conducts high-level, potential-purchase research. When relevant prospects show buying intent, you can target them with messaging tailored to their specific search, buyer persona, industry needs, etc.

You may want to implement this play multiple times and pair specific messaging with each group of intent topics.

Triggers

• Identify companies within your ICP surging on specific intent topics or researching content on the web

Actions

• Filter companies to reduce the records to meet specific criteria mapped to each intent topic
• Source expanded set of contacts which meet your persona definition mapped to each intent topic
• Send records to your CRM
• Assign to a Account Owner
• Enroll in Intent Signal Campaign
