Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use TechTarget Priority Engine for creating target account list and targeting 1:1 ABM strategies
Our BDRs directly contact the leads on TechTarget Priority Engine via cold outreach based on their interest profile. We also create email nurture for these contacts to warm them up for a BDR appointment

Pros

Love that they provide a LinkedIn profile URL
Love the exportable contacts feature
Love the market monitor future

Cons

We can't punch in all the keywords that we can find in the market currently for comprehensive capture of TAM
We would love to see more practical ways of using market monitors in campaigns
While TechTarget Priority Engine shows intent for buyers, we would love it if we can see how strong the intent is

Return on Investment

We heavily use TechTarget Priority Engine for creating target account list, so great for campaigns
We also have leads incoming via content syndication and we do huge brand awareness plays
Our BDR teammates are heavily using TechTarget Priority Engine to map their outreach strategies

Jerry Glascock

Business Development Rep in Sales at F5 (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used TechTarget daily to get information on topics and content that customers are consuming where F5 could provide info or services. I also use contact information (Phone and Email) for potential leads that could use F5 products.

Pros

Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

Cons

I occasionally get people on the phone that do not believe they were researching the stated topics.
It would be great if I could select several of my Account Managers that I want to track and populate versus just one.
Would it be possible to get email updates on what specific account managers see versus having to provide a list of all accounts.

Return on Investment

I'm not sure what ROI would be with Tech Target alone. I'm not sure that I've gotten a meeting from reaching out to leads in TechTarget.

Amber Perrine View profile

Sales Development Rep in Marketing at Alation (501-1000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use TechTarget every day to research companies' tech stacks and to see who is actively engaging or researching keywords where Alation is relevant.

Pros

Showing what tech stack they have: Snowflake, Databricks, etc
Shows an actual prospect that is researching keywords
Shows buying team members to reach out to

Cons

Would like to see other top accounts that are researching keywords relevant to Alation rather than looking up an individual company

Return on Investment

It has leveled my outreach in bringing up their current tech stack and understand that a certain prospect is currently researching: data intelligence, data governance, business analytics, etc

I currently use TechTarget Priority Engine daily to ID warm prospects in my target accounts.

Pros

IDs active buyers
Info on what is being searched
Provides leads name/contact info
ID who is/is not in Salesforce

Cons

Better organization of data on Pagea
Export ability
Better phone #s

Most Important Features

Strategist (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used it to identify potential upsell sales opportunities, and red flags based on internet searches of current RingCentral customers. The main scope of my use case was to glean CCaaS opportunities, but also see if our customers might be comparison shopping, and looking for solutions we can provide, but they might not be aware of.

Pros

Gives insight into market trends and interests
Provides early warning of customer dissatisfaction with our company or a competitor
Offers excellent contact information
Provides sales leads based on specific interests being researched by businesses

Cons

It is not particularly intuitive
Too many steps to get where I need to go
Needs to provide more depth to help determine urgency and intent to buy
Response rate from contacting leads based on search behaviors was almost nil. This may be partially due to messaging on our end.

Return on Investment

I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
I recommend they develop better training for first time users specific to a variety of use cases
