How Experts Use PredictLeads Data to Drive Smarter Outreach & Growth 🤔

February 21, 2025 /

To enhance your sales strategy, consider using PredictLeads data for your outreach. 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 data for sales outreach

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

🔹Soheil 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

🔹 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.

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 🇫🇷.  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. This foundation in Paris will pave the way for the Data-Driven VC Hackathon Paris 2025 event.

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. These included PredictLeads, People Data Labs, Similarweb, and Harmonic. This empowered them to bring their most creative ideas to life. Furthermore, the upcoming 2025 hackathon in Paris is expected to build on these innovations in anticipation of the Data-Driven VC Hackathon Paris.

The Winning Project: Pulse

The first-place project, Pulse, blew the jury away with its dynamic, data-driven approach to market segmentation. Built on enriched textual data from sources like PredictLeads, Pulse uses NLP-powered clustering to segment companies into evolving markets. The tool doesn’t just map existing trends but it also visualizes how markets evolve in real-time, offering an extreme level of granularity. This capability has the potential to change how VCs identify opportunities and allocate resources, a key focus for future Data-Driven VC events including those planned for Paris in 2025.

What Made This Event Unique

  • Diverse Participation: Teams were composed of coders, data scientists, and VCs from across Europe, creating an ecosystem of expertise and perspectives.
  • Real-World Impact: The projects weren’t just ideas but functional prototypes published under an open-source MIT license. This ensures the broader VC community can build on the innovations from the event. 🛜
  • VC-Specific Tools: From automated market trend analysis to productivity-enhancing tools for VC workflows, the projects tackled real challenges faced by investors every day. The aim is for Data-Driven VC Hackathon Paris 2025 to further this mission.

PredictLeads’ Role

As a sponsor, PredictLeads provided participants with access to our comprehensive company intelligence datasets, enabling them to work with real-world data. The winners used our insights to identify market shifts, analyze startup activities, and create actionable intelligence. Our mission has always been to make it easier for decision-makers to stay ahead of the curve. This event was a perfect opportunity to showcase how our data can empower innovation, especially looking towards 2025’s Data-Driven VC Hackathon in Paris.

Looking Ahead

The energy at BivwAk! was contagious, and it’s clear that this hackathon is just the beginning. As projects like Pulse continue to evolve, they could become the foundation for new startups. They may transform tools for VCs. The open-source nature of the event ensures that these innovations are accessible to all, fostering collaboration across the industry. This is crucial for future Data-Driven VC events in Paris, especially as we approach 2025.

To the organizers, mentors, and sponsors: thank you for making this event a resounding success. And to the participants: your creativity and dedication were inspiring. We can’t wait to see where this journey leads.

Stay tuned for updates and feel free to explore the winning projects on GitHub. Let’s keep innovating together!

How Job Data Reveals Supply Chain Shifts: Insights from Volkswagen, EVs, and Global Labor Trends

January 6, 2025 /

Supply chains are under great strain, and no… this is not another COVID post🤷. However, we can gain valuable supply chain insights from job data to better understand current challenges.

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.
