US-China Tariffs and Shopify Adoption: Signals to Watch 👀

April 9, 2025 /

Trade tensions between the US and China are once again front and center — and this time, the numbers are steep.

  • China’s finance ministry has announced an 84% tariff on all goods imported from the US.
  • In response, the US has implemented a 104% tariff on all Chinese goods, which officially took effect today, Wednesday, April 9.

While it remains to be seen whether a last-minute deal will be struck, if these tariffs go into effect as planned, they are expected to introduce significant friction into global ecommerce, logistics, and retail operations.

At PredictLeads, we’re looking into how this situation might influence two key areas where strategic shifts often show up first:

  • Job openings across ecommerce and logistics
  • Technology adoption patterns, particularly around Shopify

Shopify: A platform exposed to global flows

Shopify plays a central role in enabling international ecommerce expansion. It’s widely used by brands that rely on cross-border fulfillment and Chinese manufacturing, making it particularly exposed to the effects of rising tariffs.

If the new trade restrictions take hold:

  • Some sellers may pause or delay global expansion efforts.
  • Others might shift their infrastructure strategy toward more localized platforms or hybrid solutions.
  • We may see slowed adoption of Shopify among brands operating from or targeting heavily affected markets.

Together with our partners in the market intelligence space, we’re keeping a close eye on the data — particularly around Shopify adoption trends and ecommerce tech stack changes — to better understand how and where these shifts might emerge.

It’s still early, but this is the moment to start watching.

Hiring signals: A directional early warning

Job data has historically been one of the earliest and most reliable indicators of how companies react to market disruption.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be tracking:

  • New job postings that mention Shopify, global logistics, or cross-border ecommerce
  • Changes in hiring behavior tied to international expansion roles
  • Increased focus on domestic operations, regional warehousing and job creations, and supply chain resilience

These subtle shifts in hiring priorities can offer a first glimpse into how companies are adjusting their ecommerce strategies in response to the tariffs.

For market intelligence teams: where to focus

Whether you’re analyzing ecommerce growth, tracking tech adoption, or assessing exposure to global supply chain risk, now is the time to monitor alternative data sources more closely.

We recommend focusing on:

  • Tech stack detections — to identify the adoption slowdown at platforms like Shopify
  • Hiring data — to spot where expansion plans are being paused or redirected
  • Regional trends — to see whether companies begin shifting focus toward LATAM, Southeast Asia, or domestic-only models

These early indicators can inform broader trend analysis well before public earnings or analyst reports reveal the full picture.

Stay ahead of the shift

As of April 9, the tariffs are now in effect — and unless there’s a breakthrough soon, the ripple effects across global trade could intensify.

If you’re preparing internal research, building trend reports, or want a deeper look into Shopify adoption and ecommerce hiring trends in this context, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to share additional cuts of the data or collaborate on deeper analysis.

This is a developing story, and the signals are just starting to surface.

Sweet Moments with PredictLeads: A Teambuilding Day at RadolĆĄka Čokolada đŸ«đŸ’œđŸ«

March 31, 2025 /

Working remotely has its perks – flexibility, focus time, and the ability to work from just about anywhere. But every now and then, it’s refreshing to step away from screens and come together in person. That’s exactly what we did this last Thursday at PredictLeads.

For our monthly team meetup, we traded keyboards for cocoa beans and visited Radolơka Čokolada, a charming, family-run chocolate shop nestled in the heart of Radovljica. Surrounded by the rich aroma of chocolate and the buzz of creativity, we dove into the delicious world of sweets.

Our hosts welcomed us with a behind-the-scenes look at how their handcrafted creations are made—from tempering and molding to the final artistic touches.

Along the way, we picked up some surprising trivia (did you know that properly tempered chocolate makes a satisfying snap when brokenđŸ«°? If it crumbles or bends, something’s gone awry!).

But the real fun began when it was our turn to get hands-on. Aprons on, gloves ready—we rolled up our sleeves and created our own chocolate masterpieces. There were laughs, a bit of friendly competition, and plenty of taste-testing along the way.

Aside from the chocolate, this was a chance to reconnect, recharge, and strengthen the bonds that make our team tick. Whether we were decorating pralines or just sharing a laugh, the day reminded us how important it is to take time to celebrate the people behind the work.

Until the next meetup – sweet memories like this one will keep us smiling. đŸ’œđŸ«

How PitchBreeze is Changing the Game in Sales Outreach – An Insider’s Perspective

March 19, 2025 /

Sales is a game of timing, relevance, and persistence. But for most sales teams, that means endless hours of research, tracking key events, and hoping to catch prospects at the right moment. What if there were a better way? Roman, co-founder of PitchBreeze, sat down with us to share his journey, challenges, and how PredictLeads data is helping redefine sales intelligence.

From Frustration to Innovation: The Birth of PitchBreeze

Before starting PitchBreeze, Roman and his team faced an all-too-common sales struggle: it took six years to close 19 out of their top 20 target accounts. Why? Because success required three key elements – right person, right time, right message – but achieving that consistently was painfully slow. Hours were spent monitoring key events and researching opportunities. This frustration sparked the idea: there must be a way to automate and optimize this process.

PitchBreeze started as an ambitious project: fully autonomous AI-driven outreach. However, the reality of market feedback forced a pivot. Roman recalls, “Facing the fact that we must pivot from our original idea of a fully autonomous AI outreach was really hard. But having unwavering support from my co-founder and family brought me back.” Instead of automating everything, the team focused on curating high-quality sales signals – removing noise and ensuring sales reps could act on reliable insights.

Finding the A-Ha Moment: The Power of High-Quality Data

One of the biggest challenges in sales intelligence is filtering through the noise. Many tools flood sales teams with data, but few help prioritize what actually matters. Roman shares a simple but effective mindset shift: “Instead of collecting as much information as possible, we focused on curating it the right way.”

PredictLeads played a key role in this evolution. By integrating our enriched sales signals, PitchBreeze improved its ability to surface relevant sales triggers. Roman noted, “PredictLeads data helped us cover gaps in sales research and find hidden insights in a structured way. Monitoring companies became so much easier, and having reliable sources improved credibility too.”

This shift wasn’t just about improving automation – it was about helping sales teams become more strategic and efficient.

Overcoming Resistance: The Battle Against “Sales Spam”

Not everyone is convinced AI belongs in sales. Roman recalls an early conversation with a Series B startup CEO who bluntly stated, “Templated outreach is like Voldemort – don’t even mention it by name. We do everything manually.” This pushback was a wake-up call. Many sales leaders still resist automation, fearing it will lead to impersonal, spammy outreach.

But here’s the irony: sales teams struggle to hit quotas, pipelines are dry, and outreach is often ineffective. The challenge isn’t automation – it’s bad automation. Instead of flooding inboxes, PitchBreeze’s approach prioritizes relevance and timing. As Roman puts it, “We focus on helping sales reps bring value instead of bombarding prospects with irrelevant cold calls and emails.”

The Future of Sales: Where AI and Strategy Meet

So, what’s next? Roman acknowledges the uphill battle: “The sales world is activity-driven >>make X calls, send Y emails<< but this philosophy is broken. AI spam is making it worse, and sales leaders are beginning to see the cracks.”

He believes the future belongs to companies that strike the right balance – leveraging AI to enhance, not replace, human connection. Looking ahead, Roman hopes PitchBreeze will be remembered as the company that “got it right” – helping sales teams engage meaningfully instead of drowning prospects in generic outreach.

As for what he wishes he’d known sooner? “Focus, focus, focus. Everyone says it’s the best startup survival recipe, but it’s easier said than done with all the feedback from the market.” No matter what happens, he’s proud of one thing: “My daughter seeing me as an entrepreneur – the first one in three generations.” 💜

Bringing It All Together

Sales teams today are navigating an increasingly complex landscape. With AI-powered sales intelligence tools like PitchBreeze, powered by high-quality data from PredictLeads, they have a better chance of succeeding without burning out. The key? Moving beyond raw data collection and instead leveraging curated insights to engage the right people at the right time.

The sales world is evolving. The question is – will your team evolve with it?

How Experts Use PredictLeads Data to Drive Smarter Outreach & Growth đŸ€”

February 21, 2025 /

The best sales and marketing teams know that data is the foundation of relevance. Whether you’re crafting hyper-personalized outreach, identifying high-intent leads, or building a smarter go-to-market strategy, having the right insights at the right time makes all the difference.

At PredictLeads, we’re excited to see industry leaders leveraging our data to build more efficient, scalable, and highly relevant outreach strategies. Recently, some of the best in B2B sales, GTM, and demand generation have shared how PredictLeads enhances their workflows – and we want to highlight their incredible insights.

How Experts Are Using PredictLeads

Across LinkedIn, industry professionals have been tagging PredictLeads and showcasing real-world applications of ourJob Openings, Technographic and News Events dataset.

📌 Job Openings as a Sales Trigger

đŸ”čSoheil Saeidmehr (ColdIQ) and Dan Rosenthal (ColdIQ) incorporate job data into ABM (Account-Based Marketing) strategies. By combining hiring signals with firmographic and technographic data, they’re ensuring outreach messages are laser-focused on real buyer needs.

đŸ”č Hermann Siering (Noord50) points out how job vacancies can be a powerful trigger for outbound sales. If a company is hiring for a marketing role, why not introduce them to marketing automation software that can help their growing team? By scraping job postings with PredictLeads, sales teams can identify high-intent prospects before competitors do.

đŸ”č Davidson B (Zerocac) takes this further by highlighting how 57+ sales triggers, including hiring data, can boost GTM efficiency. If your sales team is still relying on manual research, you’re missing out on automated intent signals that help you reach the right accounts at the right time.

📌 Technographic Data for Smarter Targeting

đŸ”č Michel Lieben (ColdIQ) recognizes that B2B data is evolving, and relying on traditional databases isn’t enough. Instead, companies are turning to PredictLeads for real-time technographic insights, helping them find companies that use specific tools.

đŸ”č Andreas Wernicke (Snowball Consult) howcases PredictLeads, emphasizing how deep tech stack insights can determine whether a prospect is a good fit before outreach even starts.

đŸ”č Eric Nowoslawski (Growth Engine X) explains how technographic data can be used not just for competitor switching campaigns, but also for identifying complementary integrations. If a company already uses a relevant tool, your solution may be a perfect fit for their existing stack.

📌 Combining Multiple Signals for High-Intent Outreach

đŸ”č Dvin Malekian (Warmleads.io) and Elom Maurice A. stress the importance of layering multiple signals – technographic data, hiring patterns, and company news – to build hyper-targeted outreach lists. With PredictLeads, sales teams can enrich data without manually cross-referencing multiple sources.

đŸ”č Benoit Lecureur (gyfti) and Papa A. Sefa (Leveraged Outbound) highlight PredictLeads as a core provider of raw intent data, which can then be enhanced through tools like Clay and Smartlead for fully automated campaigns.

đŸ”č Hammad Afzal (Netsol Technologies) incorporates PredictLeads into a 2025-ready GTM stack, using our data to identify high-intent accounts and track job changes that indicate buying readiness.

📊 Why PredictLeads Data Gives You an Edge

Traditional cold outreach is a numbers game – but without the right insights, it’s just noise. Instead of blindly messaging tens of thousands of prospects, top-performing teams use data to turn cold emails into highly targeted, relevant outreach.

With Hiring signals, Technographic insights, and News Events data, teams can:

✅ Reach the right accounts at the right time based on real buying signals
✅ Personalize at scale without sacrificing efficiency
✅ Cut through the noise by focusing on companies that actually need their solution

Cold outreach isn’t the problem  – irrelevant outreach is. PredictLeads helps you change that.

THANK YOU! 🙏 💜

The First Data-Driven VC Hackathon

January 20, 2025 /

Last week, we were proud to sponsor the Data-Driven VC Hackathon, co-organized by Red River West and BivwAk! by BNP Paribas in the heart of Paris đŸ‡«đŸ‡·.  Over two action-packed days, 80 participants – including developers, data scientists, and VC professionals – came together to tackle one ambitious goal: revolutionizing how venture capitalists make decisions with the power of data.

Why This Hackathon Matters

The VC industry has long been due for innovation in how data is leveraged. While traditional methods have their place, the hackathon demonstrated that by combining cutting-edge tools, open-source collaboration, and diverse talent, we can push the boundaries of what’s possible. The event offered participants exclusive access to APIs from tier-one data providers like PredictLeads, People Data Labs, Similarweb, and Harmonic, empowering them to bring their most creative ideas to life.

Job Listings → Supply Chains → Secrets Revealed đŸ€Ż

January 6, 2025 /

Supply chains are under great strain, and no
 this is not another COVID postđŸ€·. 

Welcome to the “bright” present, where Lizard people and Illuminati decide that global labor shortages, geopolitical disruptions, and the rapid push for sustainability are something that businesses worldwide must adapt to.

Traditional data sources like financial reports and production metrics have long been the “go-to” of supply chain analysis. However, an often-overlooked resource – job openings – offers unique and interesting insights into a company’s operational strategies and supply chain shifts.

Let’s be honest -> the market is volatile (to say the least), and consulting firms are looking into multiple data sources to understand what’s happening.
Enter job data, a real-time indicator of a company’s priorities, challenges, and strategic moves. For supply chain professionals, analyzing job openings can provide early warnings of risks, identify opportunities, and gain competitive intelligence to stay ahead.

The Shifting Landscape of Supply Chains

Let’s examine some of the biggest forces shaking up global supply chains today:

  • Geopolitical Instability
    The U.S. CHIPS Act and Europe’s push for local manufacturing are changing trade dynamics. Companies are moving operations closer to key markets, creating both challenges and new opportunities across industries.
  • Labor Shortages
    The U.S. faces a shortfall of 80,000 truck drivers, pushing up costs and causing delivery delays. Globally, competition for talent in critical sectors like warehousing and logistics is intensifying.
  • The EV Transformation
    The automotive industry is racing to electrify, but not everyone is winning. For instance, Volkswagen (VW), Europe’s largest carmaker, faces a 64% profit slump and plans to close plants and cut tens of thousands of jobs due to struggles with EV adoption.
  • Automation and AI Integration
    Companies are heavily investing in robotics and AI to streamline operations. According to recent reports, the global warehouse automation market is projected to reach $35 billion by 2025, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2021 to 2024.

Traditional metrics like quarterly reports lag behind these changes. In contrast, job postings provide unfiltered, real-time insights into how companies are addressing these challenges.

The Volkswagen Crisis and its Supply Chain Wake-Up Call ⏰

The recent Volkswagen (VW) crisis exemplifies how job data can reveal deeper supply chain issues. Facing stiff competition from Tesla and Chinese EV makers, VW’s inability to keep up with market demands has led to plans for plant closures and job cuts (worthy mentions are also EU and its bureaucrats). The automaker’s net profits plummeted by 64% in Q3 2024 compared to the previous year.

The crisis highlights broader challenges:

  • Labor Shifts
    VW subsidiary Audi plans to halt EV production at its Belgium plant, affecting 3,000 jobs. German automakers have collectively shed 46,000 jobs since 2019, with more to come.
  • Technology Gaps
    As competitors like Tesla dominate EV sales globally, VW’s slower adoption of cutting-edge EV technologies has been costly.
    • Worthy mention is also BYD
 But lets stick for cars that can actually steer 😬. 

Analyzing job data could have provided early warnings, such as fewer postings for high-tech roles or shifts in hiring priorities away from EV development.

Supply Chain Insights with Job Data

Now lets focus on the main event! PredictLeads’ Job Openings Dataset (woop woop 🎊). 

Here is where we have uncovered over 192 million job postings across 1.7 million websites since 2018. Here’s how this data can help out.

  1. Spot Emerging Trends
    A surge in logistics job postings in Mexico aligns with North America’s reshoring efforts.  Fun Fact => Mexico is now the largest importer to the U.S. ($43.7 billion) ahead of China ($39.9 billion). 🌼
  2. Identify Bottlenecks Early
    Aggressive hiring for similar roles in specific regions often signals labor shortages. Logistics companies scrambling to recruit truck drivers last year foreshadowed higher transportation costs and delays.
  3. Evaluate Supplier Resilience
    Job postings reveal supplier priorities. Companies hiring sustainability officers likely align with green initiatives, while those focused on automation are investing in efficiency.

Example: Semiconductor Shortages

The global chip shortage offers another compelling case. Months before the crisis peaked, companies like TSMC and Intel ramped up hiring for “Supply Planning Professionals” and “Procurement Specialists.” Tracking these trends could have allowed businesses to diversify suppliers or stockpile inventory before shortages disrupted industries.

The Advantage

PredictLeads’ Job Openings Dataset offers insights for supply chain professionals:

  • Job Titles and Categories: Understand where companies are investing resources.
  • Salary and Seniority Data: Understand labor market competition and hiring priorities.
  • Geographic Trends: Map hiring hotspots to identify growth or risk areas.
  • Technology Mentions: Spot the adoption of ERP systems, robotics, or AI.

With 7 million active job openings and 53 million new postings detected last year, this dataset provides a real-time pulse on global hiring trends.

Conclusion: Turning Job Data into Strategy

The Volkswagen crisis, semiconductor shortages, and the EV transformation remind us that supply chains are in constant flux (fancy talk for “nobody really knows what’s going on”). Job data offers a proactive, actionable lens into these shifts, enabling businesses to anticipate risks and seize opportunities before competitors.

As global supply chains will continue evolving in 2025, leveraging real-time job data could be the key to staying resilient and competitive.

Visiting Local Brevery Loo-Blah-Nah!đŸ»

October 25, 2024 /

Since we’re a default remote first company majority of us work most of the time from home.

That is why we have monthly informal “meetups” as we call them so that we get some much needed face time 😅.

This month we’ve visited local brevery that gets its name from Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana, pronounced “Loo-Blah-Nah” 🐉.

We’ve learned how the beer gets made and a fact or two.

One of the two facts we’ve learned: India Pale Ale beer (IPA) got its name from the British colonial era. When Brits were taking their Pale Ale beer to India it very often turned bad due to long travels. So they’ve learned to add more hops and alcohol to it to last the long journey on the ships. And that is why it’s called IPA.

How the beer gets made:

1. Malting: Barley is soaked, germinated, and dried to produce malt. Slovenia does not produce it locally so the visited brevery imports it from Germany.

Barley (slo: ječmen)

2. Mashing: Malt is mixed with hot water, converting starches to sugars, forming wort. It was explained to us this is basically “sweet water”.

3. Boiling: Wort is boiled, and hops are added for bitterness and aroma.

Hops (slo: hmelj)

4. Fermentation: Yeast is added to the cooled wort, converting sugars to alcohol and CO₂. Each of the steps till now takes place in a different stainless steel barrels. No air should get in these barrels otherwise the beer gets bad.

Interesting fact #2: Per the 500 galons (2000 liters) of beer being made some
1,000 pounds (500kg) of Barley is needed and only some 10 pounds (5kg) of hops.

5. Conditioning: Beer is aged to develop flavors. In our case the guy said it takes some 3-4 weeks for the beer to develop. 

As the beer develops our evening also developed quite nicely with every new type of beer we tried along the evening 😅. Cheers! đŸ»
