Account history and contact data were the data types most used in GTM efforts. 59% of respondents used account data such as intent and technographics to prioritize accounts, and 55% used it for competitive intelligence. The biggest data challenges reported were missing or incomplete information (59%) and data quality (56%).
The survey was conducted in 2022 of 224 high-level B2B sales and marketing leaders. The results showed the importance of using data to inform and optimize GTM strategies.
