Wouldn’t it be great if you knew where to find prospects that are likely to buy? Or what motivates them to delay a purchase? If it was possible to get insights on your buyer’s purchase intent? Or are they really looking to buy?

Most businesses spend a lot of time on advertising campaigns and still do not come close to meeting their intended goals. If you want to shoot bullseye, removing big B2B buyers from self-portraits is an unwise approach. This is where Secret Data comes in.

Mission is an effective tool that helps B2B marketers in targeting prospects based on their behavior when in the buying cycle. Are you getting mixed marks from your customers? Resolution data is the solution. And it buried deep into traditional marketing methods. These devices are widely accepted (40% to be exact) by B2B marketers worldwide. But the information on ‘data resolution’ is found randomly, scattered and disconnected. Getting customers to buy a mapped and analyzed tour is becoming a viable activity for marketers today.

Digital technologies and increased adoption of AI and machine learning are building consumer choice, and purchase-level behavior is contributing to many options in consumer data screening. We will shed more light on the notion of intent data, originality, usage and impact in the future with a systematic overview that will be the true reference for intention data for all marketers in the B2B landscape.

What is Intent Data?

Resolution data is data about buyer intent. It contains data on what, where, and how a buyer thinks, prefers, cites, compares, analyzes, uses, experiences, sections, combinations, considerations, infers, co close, and buy. This data refers to the final purchase intention from which it develops, directs and proceeds, and engages and terminates.

This has a lot to do with consumer psychology and psychology or psychology, which is the scientific study of the mind as a processor of information. Marketers work psychology psychology — analyzing the mindset of the buyer through intent data, as a real-time indicator of a buyer’s interest.

The data is collated from internal and external sources, which includes CRM, downloads, information available online, and so on. If you think you know your customer, intention data will prove you wrong. Resolution data gives B2B marketers a more strategic approach with better target selections, detailed insights into the accounts, and custom sales areas. This approach also brings together the sales and marketing teams to acquire and promote unique content.

Residential data offers a wealth of opportunities for marketers and intelligently renews the marketing funnel.

Over 40% of B2B marketers plan to use intention data in 2020 for the following key purposes:

How Is Intent Data Helping B2B Marketers?

Buyers spend a lot of time researching a solution. While some are just investigating a problem, others are looking for solutions. Resolution data helps to filter out these two types of researchers and provides those that are important to marketers. AI, and resolution data are involved in this latest approach.

Artificial intelligence works on analyzing millions of interactions and determining the digital signals or intent that the buyer sends out when they are in the buying process. This allows B2B marketers to identify specific targets based on which signals they distribute. The digital tokens provide an incentive if a buyer is looking for a solution or is considering buying yours. As such, it enables businesses to go to the right time buyer with the right solutions.

The data obtained can be used for account-based marketing, automated customer outreach, personalized email marketing, etc. Resolution data saves valuable time and money for B2B organizations and marketers, leading them to increase their scores.

Real value can only be obtained from intention data when we target the prospective customer at an awareness level and make them an integral part of the buyer’s journey.

The best way to speed up resolution data is through the following steps:

Step 1 — Find and identify what the preview is trying to find (keywords, phrases, word combinations, etc.)
Step 2 — Write quality content that is specific to what the preview is looking for
Step 3 — Promote the content of all the channels the preview is exploring
Step 4 — Check ‘where-to’ and ‘where-out’ in the buyer’s journey
Step 5 — Examine all nodes of participation and send action

Gone are the days when demographics and old-fashioned B2B lead generation were a thing. The digital turmoil has brought us to a point where mastering over the marketing funnel will no longer work, and to succeed one must go beyond the funnel.

To drive growth, more and more B2B marketers are using intent strategies to personalize their content and increase conversion rates. Compared to tracking a B2C user, the search dynamics of B2B users can be a bit more complicated.

The stored data stored from your purchase history, browsing, etc., can be used to make suggestions, promotions and recommendations in real time. Thanks to modern technology — AI-powered exploration and machine learning now make it easy to handle millions of unique and personal interactions.

Understanding what data your company collects will not only leverage its offerings but will also determine the purpose of the target user.
