3. Analyze Source Performance: Understanding What Works (and What Doesn’t)
Not all lead sources are created equal. To optimize your marketing spend and focus on high-impact activities, it’s critical to analyze the performance of your various sources. Doing so will help answer questions like:
- Which source(s) consistently deliver the best leads?
- Which events generate the most promising prospects?
- Which MQL sources have an unacceptably high churn rate or low conversion?
By identifying what works and what doesn’t, we’ll help you double down on successful strategies and refine or eliminate underperforming ones.
4. Intelligent Contact Mapping: Tapping into Referrals
Don’t underestimate the power of a good referral! Implementing an investigative approach to navigate organizations and identify new contacts can be a goldmine. Moreover, actively working to replace ill-suited contacts within your database with more relevant ones can significantly improve the quality of your referral pipeline.

5. Action Aged Leads: Breathing New Life into Dormant Opportunities
Don’t let potentially valuable leads and opportunities go to waste. By actioning aged leads and stalled opportunities, we’ll help you renew engagement and uncover opportunities. This process involves removing bad data, correcting contact information, discovering new needs, and validating leads that need sales engagement now.
6. Discover Market Intelligence: Unlocking Deeper Insights
Go beyond basic contact information and BANT criteria. Discovering deeper market intelligence provides a significant competitive advantage, on both today and tomorrow’s buyers. This involves capturing valuable insights such as installed base information, competitive intelligence, key pain points and challenges, and contract details.
