“impact of AI technologies on business is
projected to increase labor productivity by up to
40% and enable people to make more efficient
use of their time.“
But… AI is the game changer
Sales reps spend on average,
30 percent of their time on internal
administrative activities.
People are wasting time and
companies are wasting money
Customer Activity Data Is Key to ABM Success
Customer Activity Data:
• All Customer Contact Information
• Calendar Data (Meetings,
Attendees, Cancellations)
• All Digital Communications (email,
messaging, phone)
• Salesforce Data (All History)
• Customer Account History
• Product Telemetry
• Sales Data Activity
• Marketing Campaign Analytics
• Support Resource Activity
• Financial Information
• Sales and Marketing Rep Activity
Customer Activity
Data is lost due to
people manually
entering data, excel
spreadsheets and
manual processes.
©2019 All RightsReserved9
Today’s Antiquated Approach
• Only 20% of data
captured = 80% is lost
• Reps spend >30% of time
on manual data entry
= time away from selling
• Low engagement with
core tools like
Salesforce.com
Manual Entry = Data Loss
Siloed and
Inaccessible Data
• Different systems and silos
prevent enterprises from
capitalizing on insights
• Inability to identify or
impact the right buying
groups
• Marketing attribution and
impact is untrusted
Contacts Are Missing
or Not Current
• On average 2 out of 12 of
the relevant buyers,
influencers and users
captured in an opportunity
• Contact data becomes
outdated as people change
jobs, roles, names.

Contacts Captured
1000 Opportunities
2,000 of 12,000
Contacts Captured
Example: Contacts Captured from Each Opportunity
Manual Entry = Data Loss
Siloed and
Inaccessible Data
Contacts Are Missing
or Not Current
Engaging only 20% of the buying
group and influencers
(losing 10,000 contacts)
Imagine What That Could Mean for Your Team

opportunity and showing it close.
Full attribution comes when you know what
