Why we should care

The more integrations, the better — right? Passing account-level data between platforms to create a full picture of accounts — and the customers who are part of them — could enable B2B marketers and sales users to identify key opportunities, red-flag accounts and more effectively communicate with key players.

Drift’s conversational marketing platform helps users streamline the buying process. The addition of 6sense’s Company Graph data will allow Drift Intel customers to identify high-value prospects and enables them to engage them with targeted,  personalized messages.

“As traditional marketing tactics like web forms and email have become less effective, sellers and marketers have adopted new technologies like 6sense and Drift to target accounts that meet their ideal customer profile — and that are in-market to buy,” said Jason Zintak, CEO of 6sense. “The partnership between 6sense and Drift enables B2B organizations to more effectively market and sell their solutions by engaging key decision-makers with highly personalized messages at the right time and place.”

More on the news:

• According to David Cancel, founder and CEO of Drift, 68% of the B2B buying cycle is completed anonymously online before a consumer ever makes contact with a brand. 6sense and Drift Intel’s partnership could give marketers the ability to accurately identify and engage more of that 68%.
