I shared my thoughts on how intent data can help Vendors “influence” B2B Buyers’ Journey or Path to Purchase in its favour.
In this post, I will touch upon how “intent data” is collected.
There are two types of data – 1st party data and 3rd party data.
✅ 1st Party Data :- Buyers “engaging” with your OWN content
1. Website
2. Asset downloads – whitepapers, eBooks
3. Form fills
4. Your Webinars participation
5. Email
6. Social Media – LinkedIn, Twitter
✅ 3rd Party Data :- Buyers “engaging” with external content
A. Online searches with key words relevant to you
B. Active memberships in industry bodies
C. Download assets like thought papers, whitepapers, trends
D. Participation – speaker, attendee – in Webinars organized by industry or others
The key is to combinate both types of data.
Also, to differentiate the intent by the content type. For example; online search, whitepapers, webinar participation, website form fill.
The above will enable Vendors to determine 📶 “signal strength” for intent data and therefore, prioritize to time the outreach!
