SalesIntel is a revenue intelligence platform that helps marketing, sales, and revenue operations teams improve pipeline efficiency. SalesIntel attempts to do this in four steps: Identify ideal customers (ICP) from among 22 million accounts profiled by 300 million unique technology install data points. Second, surface accounts that are actively in-market for the user's product or service by using best-in-breed intent, company news, and web-visitor data.…
The HG Insights Platform has helped us with GTM planning as we segment accounts amongst our verticals. There are verticals with specific tech stacks that we would like to prioritize, and HG Insights allows us to do that. The account scoring allows us to prioritize outreach efforts. We are able to use the technographics to weigh scoring and assign those accounts out accordingly.
SalesIntel is well suited for those times when you have not been able to reach the DM through the normal channels. SI will often include personal email addresses as well as direct line or mobile phone numbers. The platform also provides information and other pertinent press releases and updates. Such as, new funding, potential mergers, and other relevant company announcements
I have found contact information that was inaccurate. Since the information is human verified, there should be some type of on-going audit to catch those.
It would be nice to have some type of rating system along with the human verified options for the information. Perhaps a 5 star rating that aligns with how recent the info has been verified.
it would be nice to have the option to upload my current CRM list for SalesIntel to verify my list is accurate.
It’s very easy to use, and the team is very responsive and friendly to work with. The information is unique and usable and can complement some of the data we get from call recordings. The integration with Salesforce is easy to implement and offers good insights into our database.
We have evaluated all of these vendors and some are used in tangent with the HG Insights Platform. We found that for technographic data in particular HG gave the best coverage, but a few of these do help "fill the gaps" when occasion calls. We also use multiple intent engines to help verify trends rather than being reliant on one platform. Other vendors also offer contact data as well which is integral for our outbound marketing campaigns which HG does not cover. Overall HG does perhaps stack up better than some of these however, it is only one source of data and using multiple is necessary to give a reliable result.
The SalesIntel interface is much more cleaner and easier (at least for me) to navigate. Sometimes too much on-screen information can seem overwhelming. And not to mention, the multiple times a search is returned with 0 results, is beyond frustrating. Sometimes some of the bigger or more known companies' reps can have a little bit of an ego and are less than humble, which can be a turn off for perspective buyers.
I don't massively get involved in financial matters, but the propensity models we use internally to help run our campaigns are certainly a big factor when our sales people approach our clients.
Every campaign sold now comes with a flat data fee for us to run and use a propensity model for the activity we complete on behalf of our clients.
Whilst the client will never see the raw data behind the model (of which HG does play a part along with our other data sources) they are briefed on the methodology and reasoning behind them.
The ROI is impacted by the intangibles of using the platform. As our team goes through the learning curve, we establish better collaboration skills and celebrate the 'aha' moments. SalesIntel is feature rich and we've just scratched the surface.
One of the coolest added features is the ability to request information on demand. Once I've established a company qualifies for what we offer, even if I cannot locate human verified contact information for DM's, I can request info for the specific titles that I need to speak with about our solution.
