D&B Lattice (formerly Lattice Engines) was a Predictive Lead Scoring solution that blended the contact profile and behavioral information from Marketing Automation systems with additional attributes that could contain hidden buying signals. The product has been discontinued.
Lattice is ideal for a company who has not identified a list of targeted accounts or has not done segmentation. As long as the total addressable market is up for grabs and a company needs data on how to prioritize and distribute accounts, Lattice is able to add a ton of value. If you already have a list of accounts you are pursuing, Lattice will be able to help score than A-D, but generally will not tell you anything you don't already know
I will continue to use PRISM, especially now, because I after 3 years in the same geography, I have just transferred to a new territory. The tool really helps me focus on the best opportunities to pursue, which can sometimes be difficult with over 100 assigned accounts
It is very easy to use. Sales people really like the interface. For marketing not as easy to use due to the reporting. It’s a little bit difficult.
It’s not very set-up for marketing users who need a full on view of all sales users. It’s not like Salesforce.com where you have marketing admin access and can create dummy profiles and dummy accounts. It’s really designed for just a sales rep and their account set
Please see my answers to the previous question. We had very good feedback from our product management, strategy and sales leadership and reps regarding our training.
While the training is very easy, we had to do a lot of heavy lifting to really scale it. It’s been a bit of all hands on deck. We have had the marketing team walk the sales floor to get training to happen. Our challenge was having the bandwidth, however once it’s done it’s done
Lattice was an incumbent tool from several years ago. Early on, we enjoyed a good relationship with the team there. After the acquisition, we have definitely seen a decrease in the quality of support and engagement from the team. As a result, we will look at several competing vendors when our contract ends with Lattice.
We have seen quantifiable ROI when our reps have used the product to target accounts. In a recent example we found that accounts that targeted these "hi-po" accounts identified by using Lattice analytics created over $27M in pipeline over a month long period for a key product we are interested in selling more of to customers, compared to a less than $1M for accounts that were not identified as "hi-po".
