Boost Your Lead Generation and Email Campaigns with Connections Dataset

Hey everyone! Today, let’s dive into how personalized sales outreach with data can revolutionize your approach and make connections more meaningful.

In sales, finding and engaging the right prospects can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Sending non personalized emails is just a thing of the past and companies offering sales solutions are looking into data to add that personalized touch that increases those reply rates that we all like.

Job Openings Dataset as well as the News Events Dataset are incredibly useful and widely adopted for uncovering new leads and improving sales outreach. However, there is a unique dataset that is gaining significant attention. This dataset, which is not yet widely used due to its limited availability, holds great potential for transforming sales strategies. Here is why:

We all know that companies like to put logos of other companies they work with, on their website to gain credibility. Since those logos are often not backlinked, PredictLeads has built an image recognition system that connects these logos with company domain names. By checking the company’s Case studies pages, testimonials, “Our customers” sections and more allows PredictLeads systems to identify them as customers, partners, vendors, sponsors and more.


Here’s a quick rundown of how the Connections Dataset can revolutionize your sales efforts and how it’s used to target High-Value Prospects.

Identifying and Prioritizing Key Prospects

First up, let’s talk about finding those high-value prospects. With the Connections Dataset, you can pinpoint companies that already have significant relationships with your existing clients or partners. This means they’re more likely to convert because there’s already some trust and relevance built in.

How to Do It:

  1. Analyze Data: Dive into the Connections Dataset to find companies that share multiple connections with your current network.
  2. Prioritize Prospects: Rank these companies based on the number and quality of shared connections.
  3. Sales Outreach: Focus your efforts on these high-value prospects. Make sure to highlight the mutual connections and the benefits of joining an established network.

Example: A SaaS company finds that several of its clients are partners with a leading industry player. By targeting this player and emphasizing the mutual benefits, they can craft a top notch outreach that’s hard to ignore.

Next, let’s make your emails shine

Personalized outreach campaigns are the way to go because they address the specific needs of each recipient. By referencing the target company’s partnerships or integrations, your emails can be way more relevant and engaging.

How to Do It:

  1. Gather Insights: Use the Connections Dataset to get detailed insights into the target company’s partnerships and integrations.
  2. Personalize Emails: Craft email content that references these relationships, making it super relevant.
  3. Automate Personalization: Use AI tools to scale this personalization process, ensuring each email is tailored to the recipient’s context.

Example: An AI-powered email platform identifies a potential client’s recent partnership with an e-commerce platform like Shopify. They send a personalized email campaign highlighting success stories of similar clients who benefited from this integration. Boom -> relevance and appeal.

Warm Introductions through Mutual Connections

Finally, let’s talk about using mutual connections for warm introductions. These can significantly boost your chances of successful engagement. The Connections Dataset can help you leverage existing relationships to approach leads with more trust and credibility.

How to Do It:

  1. Map Networks: Use the ConnectionsDataset to map out mutual connections between your company and target leads.
  2. Request Introductions: Reach out to these mutual connections for warm introductions, explaining the mutual benefits.
  3. Follow-Up Strategy: Develop a follow-up strategy that leverages the credibility of the mutual connection.

Example: A lead generation company finds that one of its key clients is also a partner of a high-value prospect. They request an introduction from the key client, who provides a warm referral, significantly improving engagement chances and improves their data-driven sales outreach.

Utilizing AI for Enhanced Personalization & amplify the Impact with automation

AI can take your use of the ConnectionsDataset to the next level by automating the analysis and personalization processes. Here are some tips: 

  1. Automated Analysis: AI analyzes the dataset to identify patterns and insights, like high-value prospects and mutual connections.
  2. Scale Personalization: AI personalizes email content at scale by incorporating insights from the dataset into email templates.
  3. Predictive Analytics: AI uses historical data to predict which prospects are most likely to convert, helping prioritize efforts.
  4. Continuous Learning: AI systems learn from campaign outcomes, refining algorithms to improve future personalization and targeting.

Example Implementation:

An AI-powered email platform integrates with the Connections Dataset, analyzing the dataset to identify key relationships and generating personalized email content. It predicts which prospects will respond positively and continuously refines its personalization algorithms.

Conclusion

Since 2019, over 170 million business connections have been detected, with business connections data available for 38,5 million websites. Last month alone, there were approximately 12 million business connections, and around 57 million over the past year. The Connections Dataset is a goldmine for lead generation companies and those using AI for personalized emails. By providing detailed insights into company relationships, it helps you target high-value prospects, create relevant and engaging email campaigns, and leverage mutual connections for credible engagements. Combined with AI, it automates these processes and achieves personalization at scale, leading to higher engagement rates and better sales outcomes.

Use Data Enrichment to Filter and Prioritize Prospects

A HubSpot survey found that more than 40% of salespeople say prospecting is the most challenging part of the sales process and at least 50% of your prospects are not a good fit for what you sell. This is where data enrichment for sales prospects using PredictLeads can make all the difference. This is super frustrating!

*https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/sales-statistics

Outbound sales efforts are often tedious using up a lot of time and resources and often chasing the wrong types of prospects. CRM’s and sales platforms provide a lot of insights into a prospect but these are often irrelevant or out of date. The reason for this is that the data they utilize is not being updated often enough, only uses a couple of data sources or the platform doesn’t have the capability to drill down enough or overlap the insights. 

That’s why data driven sales teams are turning to data to enrich companies and help them filter and prioritize leads. Not only do they continue to use platforms like Salesloft, Outreach.io, HubSpot, Clearbit  etc but they are taking it a few steps further and enriching their prospects even more. This gives them competitive advantage which helps them to increase reply rates and meetings with prospects. 

Identify companies hiring

    Finding which companies are hiring is a great signal because it’s likely that they are investing in people and resources. Sales teams use hiring data in two ways. A) to find companies with the most live jobs regardless of the job type of job or b.) finding companies hiring for particular roles. In the second instance, companies hiring for marketing are more likely to buy marketing automation and companies hiring for accounting are more likely to buy financial software. 

    Identify companies hiring for C level executives

      Finding companies who are hiring for C level executives means that sales teams are more than a few steps ahead. This is because when a director, manager or head of a department joins a company, it’s likely that they will implement new changes, evaluate tools and resources and be open to change. Sales teams who look for these signals early secure meetings and get ahead of the line before their competitors, making this tactic a no brainer. 

      Resonating with a prospect

        “Hi John, I’m reaching out because … um … because …”. Sometimes finding a good prospect is easy but reaching out in a way that will grab the prospect’s attention is tiring, time consuming and frustrating. We all know that it’s important to resonate with a prospect so that they are more likely to open and read your email but finding that hook is like finding a needle in a haystack. 

        Data driven sales teams solve this by looking for newly available sales triggers like awards, new funding rounds, new partnerships, new integrations, hiring intent, companies they have in common with a prospect, latest acquisitions in their industry, new product offerings of their competitors etc. These are easy ways to create familiarity and show that you know something about their business. 

        Finding the Right Leads at Scale

          Some sales reps cast their net too wide in an effort to attract as many prospects as possible and meet their quotas. Unfortunately, this often wastes time and creates low morale. Getting limited or no answers is frustrating and not a good feeling which ultimately reduces productivity. 

          To avoid this, it’s important to have the right data to quickly figure out which prospects to pursue. Having good data means a good lead list which means good quality emails, a high response rate and more meetings booked. More and more sales teams are using the help of growth experts or growth support teams to help them identify the right leads to keep on track. Growth teams then utilize data to gain sales triggers and build targeted lead lists which increases conversion rates. 

          PredictLeads data is one source of sales triggers, growth indicators and company intelligence which helps sales teams and sales platforms gain a competitive advantage. Datasets like Jobs, News Events, Technology, Key Customers/Connections, Products and Website Evolution are all being used to identify new opportunities and stay ahead of the game. These are available through API, Webhooks or Flat Files and can be accessed daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly.
