Talkdesk identified high-value accounts using a predictive ICP model with advanced insights
“We ultimately embarked on this ICP project to identify and prioritize likely to purchase prospect accounts. With enriched company data and a predictive model backed by data science, we were able to uncover new opportunities and align our sales and marketing efforts on key accounts.”
Business challenges
Looking to identify high-value companies willing to invest in their contact center, Talkdesk needed to precisely define their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) criteria and quickly prioritize the highest valued accounts.
Talkdesk wanted to align focus on their top prospects to fuel rapid growth - the challenge was operationalizing an ICP identification strategy that was both scalable and repeatable.
With Advanced Insights, we’re able to quickly surface companies indicative of our top customers and think strategically about significant attributes that will allow us to move upmarket.
Why Talkdesk chose Oracle
- Talkdesk needed a strategic partner to help them implement a robust ICP modeling process, in order to surface statistically significant ICP traits evident of high-value accounts.
- Account Data Management - Talkdesk enriched their account data by integrating human-verified and AI-powered company data directly into their CRM to provide a deeper and more accurate understanding of an account’s data scope.
- Advanced Insights - A predictive ICP modeling process evaluated the statistical significance of account characteristics by running standard deviation analysis on over 4,000 attributes to surface influential traits evident of Talkdesk’s best customers.
- Account Scoring - The Talkdesk team then incorporated these traits into an account scoring model, assigning each trait a score based on its significance. With nearly 40 key traits being evaluated for every account, Talkdesk was easily able to identify and prioritize their high-scoring accounts.
