ZooInfo review from BDR perspective.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to identify the contact info for the right people at the right time. As a business developer, having the correct information to leverage at any time is crucial. Without it, you're blindly shooting in the dark, guessing what an email domain is, and trying to get through the gatekeeping operator.

Pros

  • Integration is really important - the sidebar menu and synergy with sales nav is great.
  • Providing timely updates on information to be able to have the right info.
  • Having the direct dial number for some folks is very helpful.

Cons

  • List the subsidiaries of companies, not only the parent company.
  • An AI summary on the sidebar to guide you on what kind of titles/personas to target for your product.

Return on Investment

  • Far more connected calls. I'd say at least a 15% increase in connected calls with the direct dial number, especially.
  • I reduced my research time on a company by 20% since I could quickly view their annual revenue, industry, employee count, etc.
  • It helps my reps find the correct numbers/emails for accounts we work on together.

Become More Productive

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Identify the contacts with my target companies. I have identified the company profile, industry and need (Intent). With these we then import key decision makers and begin a reach out campaign. I have significantly increased my productivity and my results. The pressure of pipeline development has been reduced.

Pros

  • Identify Contacts at my Target Companies
  • Segments Industry by Location and Size
  • Websights - what companies have been searching on my website
  • Weekly Intent updates of who is searching for my products

Cons

  • Add a Contacts in ZoomInfo feature. The company may have 50 employees but if ZoomInfo only has 3 contacts my search is fruitless
  • Improve Seach Results so I can directly import them to Salesforce. I do not have the ability to tag and then import directly from the results of my weekly saved searches. I have to export them as a csv and then import them to Salesforce. (Or do them one at a time)
  • Update Company Headquarters more often. I still get companies in my search results where the HQ is not in my territory.
  • Have the ability to lock in all of the specific search results. For example I need to keep going back on search results to select the location, the Contact Email on required results.

Return on Investment

  • More Sales $$$$
  • Greater productivity
  • Improved Focus on WHO is searching for and buying my products

I use this tool almost everyday in Acquisition Sales

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I love all the info on ZoomInfo Sales. Specifically it helps me search peoples titles for specific searches for people who will find value in the products I am selling. I also love how it integrates with Salesforce and SalesLoft tools so i can get right to work sending out messages after i find a new contact. I also enjoy all the insights about the technology the company is currently using. It helps me be more thoughtful in my outreach messages.

Pros

  • integrates with other tools
  • contact info is usually up to date
  • insight into current technology portfolio

Cons

  • Sometimes I have trouble finding my Salesforce account when importing contacts.
  • I wish I had better filters for searching. I search for contacts in US only and I still get some in China or Malaysia and its frustating
  • id like to integrate with LinkedIn Sales Navigator if possible. to double check contacts are still employed at the company before i import them.

Return on Investment

  • ive grown my business with new leads and contacts to contact
  • learned more about existing tech and how to sell my tech as an upgrade
  • i have been more effective in my outreach as a whitespace seller
