Third-party data can provide an extra leg over your competition in today's competitive sales environment, where operations are lean and financial targets are lofty.
We're adamant about helping enterprises take action with their Customer 360 source of truth. Having S&P Market Intelligence in Snowflake is an essential first step, but making those insights actionable in downstream business tools empowers more relevant sales conversations, marketing personalization, and higher conversion rates.
Here are a few use cases to draw inspiration from:
Financial Institutions Better Qualify Sales Opportunities in Salesforce
It's relatively straightforward for a bank or credit union to capture first-party data on how often clients deposit funds or inquire about loans. These are all direct behavioral data points regarding the usage of bank services, information usually stored in a CRM such as Salesforce.
But what if the bank's sales department wants to cross-sell other financial offerings? The outbound strategy and messaging tactics for a highly qualified customer can (and should) differ significantly from lower qualified prospects. However, data available in the CRM can be limited, making it difficult for a sales manager to decide which clients are the most suitable for outreach.
By layering in context regarding financials, such as company funding, revenue, and valuation, on top of the first-party behavioral data, financial institutions can craft more informed sales strategies such as:
- Alerting account representatives proactively when it's time to engage clients.
- Cross-referencing behavioral metrics to have more relevant conversations based on demonstrated usage needs.
- Building account scoring and propensity models with first-party and third-party signals.
Enriching Salesforce with company growth indicators supercharges sales operations with deeper insights and makes cross-sell initiatives more effective for financial institutions.
Law Firms Track Market Activities to Uncover New Engagement
To best serve their clients, professional services teams need a comprehensive 360° view of both internal and external insights. Solutions and services are not one-size-fits-all, so it's imperative that legal professionals have up-to-date data for the most informed conversations.
For example, a law firm negotiating corporate transactions needs market intelligence on mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, and private company financials. With S&P Global and Census, firms can easily subscribe to in-depth market intelligence and make it available for sales and marketing operations.
In addition to empowering existing client conversations, professional services firms can use S&P and Census to find and target new customer segments with personalized marketing. Some examples include:
- Initiating email campaigns based on corporate growth signals, like a 25% increase in headcount in the last three months.
- Alerting business acquisition teams about new funding rounds in Slack or Microsoft Teams, for timely outreach.
- Communicating new service offerings to only relevant clients, instead of contacting the entire subscriber list.
With the most granular insights into company transactions and financials, professional services firms can transform how they deliver timely and relevant consultations.
