When it comes to targeting, the more you know about your prospects and their technology, the better.

We all know that high-consideration technology purchases at medium and large enterprises involve multiple stakeholders. However, all too often, marketers and/or sales associate a disproportionate amount of influence to one or two particular influencers; for example, the CIO or line of business (LOB) professional.

The reality is that no one influencer has more than 30% of the total power through the purchase process1. You must ensure that you are allocating your marketing programs proportionally across all of the appropriate influencers and that you don’t get fixated on simply engaging one or two influencers, thinking that they control all of the necessary power. So, the next time you are deciding whom to target, remember the 30% rule — it will serve you well.

However, it is not simply having the correct contacts - their technology environment is key. In the highly competitive world of technology marketing and sales, the ability to target prospects based on customers’ installed technology environment can give you a distinctive edge. The challenge often is obtaining the data and ensuring its accuracy.

With more than 1,700 selectable technologies, across 85 categories, mapped to the millions of companies and contacts in the NetProspex database, you can build highly targeted list that identify your best targets with unprecedented precision.

Historically, this data was aggregated by large call centers with hundreds of callers that surveyed companies began to obtain their installed technology information. As that methodology became cost prohibitive, many companies build modeled data that attempted to predict the technologies a company uses based on other “like companies.”

With this modeled data meeting resistance from the marketplace due to questionable accuracy and the call center model a dying breed, marketers have been seeking an alternative source that provides accurate and complete data on installed technology to enable advanced targeting for their programs.

TechProspex employs today’s sophisticated big data technology to curate and map companies and the various technologies they use from hundreds of millions of published documents. Phone surveys are completed to statistically validate accuracy of these mappings, the outcome of which results in 90% plus accuracy.

Once obtained, facts gleaned from this data are married with verified contact information from the NetProspex database, allowing for advanced filtering by specific technologies and other firmographic information. The result is a highly targeted list of specific verified contacts at companies that are ripe for your technology.
