InsightSquared scaled their outbound sales engine using company data, signals, and balanced territories
Founded in 2010, InsightSquared provides revenue intelligence solutions for high-growth technology companies.
Facing a key period of high growth, InsightSquared’s revenue team was looking to scale their efforts while continuing to improve performance at the rep level.
As part of a new account-based approach, AEs and SDRs were aligned in pods. InsightSquared needed the necessary data and automation infrastructure to enable its new process.
“A timely follow-up on a DataFox signal raises our sales conversion rates. If we reach out to prospects right after a funding event, we do way better than if we reach out cold,” says Lydstone.
“Something that’s overlooked on the road to automating at scale is that you need a rock-solid data foundation to depend on. When building out our outbound sales engine, we defined which data points we needed to be spot on, and which vendor was best for each. We ended up replacing three providers with DataFox—they cover firmgraphics, technographics, and signals really well.”
