A competitor’s customers can be a great source of new business – if you can get plugged into the right signals. Companies that churn from your competitors are already educated on your value proposition and understand its potential. This makes them well-positioned to find a better solution – you.
Use technographic data to monitor and alert you when a target company in your total addressable market (TAM) drops a competitive technology from their stack.
Automatically discover ZoomInfo contacts at these companies that fit the Buying Committee for those technologies. Create a play specific to each targeted technology and pair specific outbound email messaging for each technology identified.

Intent Signal Targeting
Firmographics and technographics help identify which companies are your potential customers. Intent data lets you know which companies are actively searching for a solution like yours.
Intent data casts a broad net across the internet to gather top-of-funnel signals about the issues, solutions, technologies, and vendors that potential buyers research before buying. This early visibility on developing opportunities gives your sales teams a head start on the competition.
Select intent topics related to your business and monitor when a specific account, or set of accounts, conducts high-level, potential-purchase research. When relevant prospects show buying intent, you can target them with messaging tailored to their specific search, buyer persona, industry needs, etc.
You may want to implement this play multiple times and pair specific messaging with each group of intent topics.

General News Signal
Company news can predict an organization’s readiness to purchase. When significant company news happens — such as the opening of a new facility, the relocation an office, or company-wide layoffs — your sales and marketing teams should move quickly and reach out to new buying groups.
However, it’s difficult and time-consuming to track company news. With ZoomInfo’s Scoops function, automated triggers and actions can keep track of company news. Instead of manually adding contacts to campaigns and lists, you’ll be able to stay focused on fostering customer relationships, prospecting sales, and closing deals.
