Demandbase Sales Intelligence Cloud is used to update prospect data within Salesloft. Demandbase Sales Intelligence Cloud also provided firmographic insights to better personalize outreach. I primarily used Demandbase Sales Intelligence Cloud to find up-to-date prospect information, which increased my ability to access a direct line of communication with my prospects.
  • Lists current employees
  • Signals current email and phone numbers of company contacts
  • Curates company-specific information that can help shape more effective communications toward solving prospect challenges, and thus driving sales.
  • Need more time with the product. But perhaps, in providing a more complete set of contact information per personnel.
Demandbase Sales Intelligence Cloud helped me reach prospects that previously I had been able to without it. To understand how strongly I would recommend it, I need more time since I have just begun using it. I was able to understand the value it can deliver in providing company-specific information that allows one to cut through the noise, or quickly make a connection. More time with the platform would give me greater confidence in recommending it to a colleague.

It is used by marketing employees to research and verify company data.
  • The News Feed can be sorted by personal watchlist, which is very useful for scanning the news that's most relevant to our company.
  • The business description helps users categorize and describe the company for more accurate profiles.
  • The Family Tree is easy to filter and sort, and makes it easy to see relationships with subsidiaries in different countries.
  • Revenue is often missing, especially from smaller companies.
  • Primary SIC codes are often incorrect.
  • Company contact information is often out-of-date, as compared with other databases and/or the company website.
InsideView is great for researching larger and more well-known companies, and somewhat less so for many smaller and/or lesser-known companies. It is a good resource for revenue, number of employees, SIC code, contact information, and company description, but it is necessary to compare with another database to be sure information is accurate.

It solves sales problems by finding the contact information of prospects when building a lead list.

InsideView is well suited for learning about companies; profiles, getting insight and news alerts. it is well suited for sales development; building a lead list, getting insights on companies, and finding new connections through LinkedIn. it is a helpful tool for building an ideal customer profile. When using InsideView, It is important to have a valid name and company in other to achieve your objectives.

I loved how easy it was to build a watchlist for companies I was researching. You can import a list of multiple organizations all at once and be immediately up to date on their latest developments. The company search feature is excellent, providing an instant overview of financials, org charts, size, and recent news. I was surprised by the wealth and accuracy of data that is immediately made available at one's fingertips, including phone numbers, email addresses, and even social details on prospective clients. Instead of searching on multiple platforms, or even different places on the same platform, InsideView gives access to all relevant data in one place, at one glance. It made my internship experience a lot more productive and streamlined. I can't imagine doing my work going forward without this essential tool!
  • Accurate and complete contact information for anyone in a management position
  • High-level overview of prospect's involvement at their company and previous work history
  • Excellent aggregation of company news and mentions, including on social media platforms
  • I experienced some lags in how long it took for a watchlist to populate, which was up to 24 hours in one case
  • Once looking at a company profile, it would be nice to navigate back to search results without having to initiate a whole new search sequence
While InsideView seems more comprehensive than LinkedIn SalesNavigator, when you're looking to identify and save contacts with a particular area of responsibility (IT, for instance), Navigator provides results and means to track them more quickly and easily. Having to "unselect" every other job area category when initially landing on a company overview page in InsideView is tedious and time-consuming.

[InsideView, from Demandbase is] used across the entire organization at my role of BDR. This is integrated into our Salesforce Org, to be able to view any account's information directly from the account page. Used to gather contacts, numbers and emails as well as to understand the company's hierarchy. This tool is used for prospecting, refreshing accounts, contacts and keeping up to date with the latest scopes from company's making news headlines and trigger events.
  • Accurate contact information
  • Amazing customer service
  • Ease of use on Salesforce platform
  • Employee counts
  • Logins for Salesforce employees
  • More numbers for higher ups in companies
[InsideView, from Demandbase is] well suited for anyone trying to get a holistic view of a company in a fairly quick amount of time. Can view the totem pole, who reports to who, and numbers/emails when applicable for contacts. Can also see news and insights into what the company is up to, whether or not they're looking for or securing funding, and trigger events to reach out about.

It is like LinkedIn met Pinterest and had a professional bodybuilder child! Incredible power to create a whole world of information around the specific industry--compiling knowledge, articles, trends, influencers, businesses, and a whole lot more! We used it specifically for the task of generating knowledge of certain industries to procure information for sales lead procurement. The main areas it addresses are how to create a bubble of facts so that you can be in the know about a specific areas of business!
  • Personalized news channel--the watch list functionality
  • Easy integration of business information pulled from LinkedIn
  • Integration from sales leads list
  • Design--the UX could use a facelift, driving appeal and efficiency in navigating the website
InsideView, from Demandbase, can be useful in many different scenarios, even though I used it specifically for sales prospecting, it could easily be translated to other professions. Anyone can use it to create a personalized, business-focused collection of contacts, information, and important industry news.

My Likes & Dislikes: Building a Watchlist to Track Companies using Insideview. My likes definitely out weight the dislike of using this tool. I like how much research time I save by breaking down the important aspects that Insideview considers about each company which is Company, People, and Insights. The tool allows you to copy and paste your target company leads straight out of your sales cadence into a Watchlist that can be labeled per target of leads. I’ll talk about what aspects of the tool were most useful to me in my research. The tool gives so much information about what to consider about a company. My watchlist aspects gave me fast expert points to pay attention to. At first glance, my list gives a number of employees and revenue which gave me an idea of which companies to prioritize my outreach. First Company tab, I LIKE the overview information that defines the company. On this tab, you find a clear summary of what the company does, followed by a website to learn more about their Products and Services. The Industry knowledge subtab lets me know how the company wants to use its product. For me having that industry knowledge sets the tone for how I should approach offering the value of my product to align with their focus. The next subtab that stands out strongly is the Challenges the company faces. This tab shows information that allowed me to consider mechanisms of practice or a lack in advancement the company faces internally and around their customer challenges. This is where I gain my expert opinion on what strategies or technology a client could benefit from using. Call Prep tab displays a list of questions that are perfect for digging deeper into the companies challenges. I found them to be a great insert in the first stage of my call script using the SV Academy Conversational Selling Methodology. During my intro call to clients, I used these relevant open-ended questions to build credibility and trust to speak to questions concerning their industry. Dislike having to go back into the Watchlist drop-down to select my custom watchlist each time to do a new search on the next company. I would like to just click a return tab back to my watchlist to cut down my clicks every time I need new company research. Second People tab, I LIKE the directory because it lets you follow the more impactful organizational leaders, narrowing down job functions and Job level. This tool helped me dive directly into the research of my persona verifying contact information, directly linking me to their Linkedin and their Google search. Great way to save a few clicks while searching your persona. Dislike on People Tab was not having a detailed summary of my persona. This wasn’t a big bummer because I could just do the detailed research on my own using the Linkedin and Google links Lastly on Insight Tab, I LIKE the most recent news events about the company because they helped with my ideas to form my personalized intro emails. I was able to mention recent successes or praise around the company growth initiatives. Also above some news articles, Inside view uniquely lists contacts within the organizations that are mentioned in news articles to help see other impactful influencers and decision-makers within the company. Dislike about Insight Tab: None!
  • Saves time on researching Prospects
  • Lets users create watchlist per targeted list of Leads
  • Provides helpful expert knowledge to gain credibility with persona
  • Directory for impactful leaders in an Organization
  • Recent News and Events On companies
  • Dislike having to go back into the Watchlist drop-down to select my custom watchlist each time to do a new search on the next company. I would like to just click a return tab back to my watchlist to cut down my clicks every time I need new company research

InsideView, from Demandbase, is my battle station for sales! I really enjoy how easy it is to get news on companies I am targeting via the watchlist feature and finding stakeholder information through the organizational charts. InsideView, from Demandbase, has helped me save a lot of time by having news delivered straight to my inbox, which I use to create customized emails and start conversations. The directory tool allows me to find reliable contact information quickly and connect with decision-makers via LinkedIn. Overall, the time saved has allowed me to create custom emails with a significantly higher click-through rate and response rate when compared to my templates without information from InsideView, from Demandbase.
  • Up-to-date news and financial information.
  • Directory is very easy to navigate.
  • Very easy to set up watchlists and find people.
  • Newsfeed should put more articles on one page so you don't have to scroll as much.
I find InsideView, from Demandbase, super helpful in gathering news and financial information. This, in turn, allows me to create customized emails for decision-makers. It's a great one-stop shop for my sales email outreach and helps me save a lot of time. The application is effortless to set up and use. I can see the positive impact InsideView, from Demandbase, has had on my email outreach.

I loved the watchlist to track companies since it made my life, thousand times easier. I remember getting a trigger event alert from my watchlist, and I knew I could capitalize on it.
I liked it because I had to connect my LinkedIn contacts for others to use. I've spent my life building those contacts and what scared me was letting others on my team use me as a reference.

However, having that option enabled me to get more people to sign on. I've got to say what InsideView could let me do that I could not do before is get those alerts, and I capitalized on it!!!!
It helped my experience as an SDR intern understand what trigger events worked and what things I could improve regarding my goals.



  • Find insights on prospects
  • Follow daily news alerts for conversation starters
  • View company and contact information
  • Find new connections through LinkedIn
  • I wish it could plugin into my SEP & CRM this way it would allow me to find things faster on them.
If your an SDR or AE(I have a financial sales background and sold directly to high networth and ultra-high networth individuals), this is KEY to your funnel.

There's no way better to tailor and personalize your outreach than InsideView. If you're in a clutch and "need to figure it out," this platform is where you get it.

InsideView is a great tool to research and learn more about various companies and businesses. It was beneficial in my internship where I had to learn about different industry verticals to communicate with different people. Using the watchlist feature was great since InsideView gave me relevant information for targeted companies I was looking out for. The company search feature was also of great use since it provided information regarding financials, company size, and competitors. With InsideView, I was given an overview and developed a better understanding of my target companies and their place in the market's ecosystem. The daily news alerts were great for conversation starters and gave me the opportunity to strategically target who I wanted to reach out to on LinkedIn. InsideView helped me expand my understanding of companies so that I could meet my quota during my internship.
  • Provides insight on prospects
  • Provides daily news for target company
  • Provides company and contact information for relevant individuals
  • InsideView could improve on its UI
  • InsideView may be missing updated news for target companies
  • InsideView is missing social media information for early startups
InsideView gives the user detailed information so that they can have a 360-degree understanding of what a company does. During my internship at SV Academy, while researching target companies, I was able to search information regarding the company, professionals who work there, and read about recent news from various sources of social media.

InsideView is used by our sales development fellows to help them gather information on prospects. This platform has helped me find accurate contact information on my leads. Also, their product's ability to let me follow specific company news reports allowed me to stay up to date on my prospects' businesses, which provided me with relevant insights into their challenges.
  • Easy access to my prospects' contact information
  • Insight on a company's financial information
  • Includes call prep information
  • Smaller companies may not be on the platform
  • Financial information is not included for smaller companies
InsideView is a benefit to my workflow. I used it as a tool to help me explain my reasoning for reaching out to my prospects. My time researching companies and leads was significantly reduced because InsideView contained most of the information I needed to draft a personalized email to C-level executives.

InsideView is such a valuable resource for researching not only companies, but people. I was able to find news and press releases about companies before reaching out, so I could understand the target on a more personal level. There is a great function of creating a watchlist. The watchlist allows you to create a list of companies you want to follow. The watchlist gives you notifications about any news that gets updated about that company. InsideView also offers verified contact information for successful outreach. One of my favorite features is the Call Prep function. This function suggests questions to ask during cold call outreach that is relevant to the company and the industry.
  • The Watchlist was great for getting immediate information on companies you are tracking. It was helpful with finding information directly related to companies I was working with and assisting with personalization of my outreach.
  • The Call Prep was one of my favorite features! This feature helped me to prepare relevant questions to ask when cold calling and get a better understanding of what questions would be relevant to that specific company or industry.
  • Access to verified contact information of people at companies. This ensured that my outreach would be successful and reach the person.
  • The list of people at companies, including job title, was extremely helpful for finding leads in a specific role at a company.
  • For some companies, the news and press releases were not relevant to that specific company. For example, if the name of a company was part of a title of a news article, it would show up within the company news. However, there were a couple of times that the news article had nothing to do with that company.
Overall, InsideView is a valuable resource for researching companies and people. I was able to use the information to help improve my personalization and make relevant outreach communications. I was able to find information on InsideView that I could not find using traditional Google searches. InsideView helped to speed-up the research process so I could spend more time effectively engaging with prospects.

As an SDR fellow in Cohort 40 at SV Academy, we leveraged InsideView to research our prospects from our leads list. It really helps to clean out our leads and find and correct relevant information like phone numbers, emails, and new companies if they have left their previous employer.
  • Provide accurate information on prospects
  • Show users how they are connected to potential leads
  • Provides the most up to date information
  • Allows users to submit feedback and corrects
  • Simplicity of user interface
InsideView was key for me to find and research prospects on an older leads list. Using InsideView, I was able to locate my prospects, update their contact information, see their previous companies, and see how I am connected to them, allowing for a potential introduction by a mutual acquaintance.

InsideView was used for our internship as upcoming sales professionals. We had the benefit of pre-existing leads to contact in our CRM. Unfortunately, many of the leads were missing updated contacts. InsideView was the remedy to the issue, as it allowed us to accurately find the missing information needed to prospect to our leads.
  • Accurate information
  • Easy to navigate
  • Organization tools
  • Reminders
  • Needs more social platforms for searching (Facebook, Tiktoc, Youtube)
InsideView is best used for reliable information when searching for methods to contact prospects. Insideview is also great for insight into the company that a prospect works for. InsideView is also a good tool to discover other connections to the prospect for additional leads.If you are searching for prospects social media information, look elsewhere unless it is LinkedIn.

InsideView is being used by sales development representatives within the sales team. We're using InsideView as an employee intelligence platform to conduct research on prospective companies. In particular, we go to InsideView to find data on the company's size, revenue, affiliate companies, competitors, and we also use InsideView to track the company's latest news--such as mergers or territory expansion.
  • Identify relevant contacts of a prospective company
  • Receive real-time updates and news about the company
  • Great call prep questions for cold calls
  • Search filters could be more accurate
  • Platform could be more user friendly
  • Some of the data sources are out of date
It is a great company intelligence tool to prep for cold calls. It is also a great place to start when researching information about your prospect's company.

InsideView is being used within my organization as a detailed research platform to find qualifying information on different company clients. It helped our team determine goals, challenges, demographics, and relevant industry information for each prospect. It is used across my whole department to make the sales process more efficient by shortening research and preparation for an outreach. It enabled my department to better understand a prospect's industry which established my team as experts in the field. Without this tool, we would have spent more time qualifying our prospects and would have seen sales dip to unprofessionalism when dealing with prospects.
  • Provided essential info to help mold the sales process.
  • Shortened the amount of time needed for qualifying essential prospects.
  • Helped build stronger rapport with clients.
  • Added a more personalized outreach to prospects by including information important to them.
  • More organization on watchlists.
  • Adding a relevancy option to particular articles to companies.
  • In newsfeed, add a tab for companies in watchlist.
Creating personalized emails is the best place to use InsideView. Showing a prospect that you are well educated on their industry and their personal challenges build trust and rapport on a new level. It has helped create better responses and more engaging conversations with prospects.

I was assigned a company in the education industry and I used InsideView to see the industry's top challenges and goals for the specific company. In doing so, it helped fill in the blanks in my sales script to make it more personal to the prospect. By doing so, the prospect gladly joined my conversation via email because it applied to their needs.

InsideView has been used for prospect research and personalization purposes. It allows us to gather and become familiar with current company news, insights, and major happenings in one centralized platform.
  • InsideView provides a great company overview. For example, Bankcard Services InsideView tells when the company was founded, company locations, the type of service provided, etc.
  • When it comes to the industry information of the companies, InsideView provides industry specific call prep questions such as: How does your company minimize system interruptions and downtime?
  • The people tab is awesome, it provides a place to crosscheck your leads to ensure their contact information is correct as well as their current employer.
  • When searching for companies such as "Los Angeles County" it is difficult to to figure out which search option is relevant.
  • Some companies such as The Stockroom Inc., have no information regarding employees of recent news. This means you have to leave InsideView to gather information.
  • Some company summaries could be more concise such as Point B in Los Angeles. We aren't searching for all of the nitty gritty details, we just want to understand what the company does and why in simple language.
InsideView is well suited for the personalization of outreach to prospects. You are able to find multiple points to help you better connect with your prospect. For example, in Salesforce's acquisition of slack, Slack was represented by my prospect's company (Latham & Watkins LLP). I was privy to this information as it hit the internet because of InsideView's newsfeed function.

We're using InsideView as a good starting point to research companies and customers in the hunting stage but also while refreshing the information of current customers. Is it used by the Sales department, as well as the Marketing and Finance departments. InsideView delivers a very good overview and brings the information that is mandatory to be successful in the business.
  • One-point tool
  • Fast
  • Reliable
  • Probably a better user interface.
  • More detailed information.
While considering business with a new partner or the customer, you need to have mandatory information about them.

InsideView is used by the whole organization but especially for salespeople. We mainly use it as a way to obtain contacts in new prospects, helping us to reach the right person for the sales message. It also provides some general information about the company (location, annual revenue, contact number, and what do they do). Also interesting, it provides a family tree, which is useful to know if a company is inside a group of companies).
  • Important contacts
  • General overview of the company
  • Size of company (people and revenue)
  • I miss contacts in smaller companies.
  • No information recovered from social media.
InsideView is great if you don't have previous information about a prospect. It gives you a first idea of the company and, more importantly, it gives you some contacts you can use as a first contact to approach the company. Sometimes, it provides contacts that are not up to date, so you can miss new contacts or maybe some of the contacts are no longer in the company.

  • Extremely user friendly
  • Accurate Information
  • Large data base of companies
  • Needs more social connectivity
Any scenario where you are involved in prospecting or developing a business relationship, Insideview can help prepare you for anything.

InsideView is being used among the SDR interns in order to assist in the initial stages of the prospecting process. It has allowed for the gathering of comprehensive data on companies, and their employees, in many verticals in an efficient manner, which has allowed for quick personalization when doing outreach for B2B sales.
  • The interface makes it very easy to find relative information quickly.
  • It is easy to import already existing company lists.
  • Links and contact information are reliable.
  • News articles could be displayed in a more digestible format.
  • Setup could be a little more clear in regards to linking certain accounts.
  • Employer list could be more comprehensive. I could not find my employer.
When looking up information on a specific company, InsideView presented me with recent and relevant news articles within the last month that allowed me to resonate with the company contact that I had. I was able to personalize my outreach and show empathy in my messages. However, when just seeking basic information on a company, the interface can get slightly convoluted.

Our sales and sales support teams have used InsideView for the last year to clean up our vast database. We've found the tool to be extremely useful and accurate for the most part. We've used it to clean up data at the account level and add new contacts in HR to our database. InsideView's support team is very responsive and attentive, and the partnership overall has been very valuable to us. I highly recommend their service over Zoom Info, Data.com, Ringlead, and the like.
  • Account-level data
  • Direct-dial contact-level data
  • Customer support
  • Sometimes a little buggy
  • Need more HR contacts
  • Need to de-dupe accounts
You'll love InsideView if you're looking to clean up account-level data and add new contacts into your database.

InsideView is being used by our sales department in research efforts while prospecting new clients, and companies while filtering leads list. With the ability to create a watchlist, InsideView provides us with the most up-to-date information about our targeted companies in a unified platform. Also, with the ability to review a company's financials, employees at the company, and current industry trends our reps are loaded with topics to contact customers and achieve their activity metrics.
  • Watchlist.
  • Unified platform.
  • Industry trends.
  • Search filtering on a specific person can be updated.
  • Work history of a specific person.
InsideView is great when you are prospecting clients. As a sales rep it provided valuable information on a current company or industry trend which loaded up my strategy for a "cold" approach on a new client. Also with the ability to create a specific watchlist for companies in a unified platform it made it super quick and easy to be updated with current events.

InsideView had been a tremendous ally in my day-to-day outbound sales development activities. Each member in our department of SDRs is using it to research the prospects in our respective territories. Not only does it help with the outreach pre-work for research, but it is also super useful in providing additional context DURING our calls to cold prospects. An example would be the 'Call Prep' tab.. which is a game-changer for me as it gives me a list of easy-to-use list of questions to pepper throughout my conversations with the prospects. By asking those questions, I have found from experience that it gave me more confidence during the conversation with the prospects. At the same time, it makes me appear to be a more trusted and respected business partner in front of the prospects. As SDRs, we are often tasked to cover industries that are so wide and diverse that it is practically impossible to be knowledgeable and keep up with the latest trends in every single industry. Yet, we all have a quota to meet, and InsideView is a vital member of my trusted sidekicks to help me reach that goal.
  • 'Call Prep' - a list of industry-related questions to ask my prospects during the phone call to enhance trust and credibility as a business partner.
  • Regularly scrubbed email and phone numbers of prospects. The verified direct-dial mobile number is GOLD. You may be able to get some of these elsewhere by paying extra with a separate standalone service. Having this integrated has improved my workflow, saving time from switching in and out of different apps.
  • The family tree of organizations is particularly useful for targeting enterprise accounts that often come with convoluted company shareholding structures.
  • 'Challenges' and 'Trends' - information to engage prospects during conversations.
  • The search result could be better. Sometimes I had to scroll down the result list to locate the companies that I was searching for.
  • Provide filtering options to the search result to help me narrow down the search results.
  • Increase coverage to more SMBs.
From my experience, it is an invaluable tool for an SDR doing daily outreach to cold prospects. Most of the time, I could do all my background research for target companies with just InsideView. I know that with more sources, and more info that comes with it, it is always better. As an SDR, we have so much to do and cover, and so little time that I couldn't afford to spend too much time on research at the expense of the actual outreach activities of calling, emailing, and engaging the social media channels. 80-20, folks.
