Zoominfo Marketing - Make your budget work smarter not harder!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ZoomInfo MarketingOS helps with creation of demand, it also targets and generates targets and converts leads into customers using insights and engaging through multiple forms, including social media, email, text, etc. ZoomInfo Marketing also converts sites into digital assets using unique chat, interaction, and data capturing, which really helps bolster customer conversion and increase synergy with acquisition teams.

Pros

  • helps show customers the benefits and data from marketing efforts
  • fine tuned tracking of customer website interactions
  • Excellent customer service that goes beyond what we usually see
  • easily customizable as well for users

Cons

  • Does not fully integrate sales and marketing, so some work and translation is still required.
  • this is a complicated tool, and requires a rather long time to train employees to use properly.
  • no training included, and the price is a bit high
  • Does not integrate the same across all internet browser programs

Return on Investment

  • Zoominfo Marketing has allowed us to reduce our marketing budget with increased results by almost 20% less in cost and significantly better capture of what customers are reacting to our marketing outreaches
  • Marketing data can now be easily gathered, and made into useful information for our sales teams
  • We have double the data essentially, as we already had inbound tracking, but ZoomInfo gives us a fine lens over our outbound marketing. We can also follow up more directly with those customers, as opposed to guessing who or when to reach out to in the past.

Usability

Return on Investment

We find these as granular data we did not have in the past, we have click counters and website trackers. But for campaigns, B2B standalone communications, general social campaigns DSP, retargeting, and form + acceleration we did not have a tool.

Since we've started using this we have seen double-digit increases in the direct return on expenditures from marketing. Sales has also increased its % of closing and reduced the amount of time needed to spend "qualifying and attracting" existing leads.

Reliable tool to get enrichment Intent and outreach all in one place

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoominfo marketing to identify intent buyers who are willing to buy our software. Just blindly going after random companies and pitching them about our SaaS product didn't yield any result. So we started using the intent feature provided by this tool to go after a particular set of companies and target them via email and LinkedIn ads.

Pros

  • Intent Data
  • Automatic email and Ad campaigns
  • email and mobile no data enrichment
  • CRM Sync to track progress

Cons

  • Too expensive for small firms and startups
  • Data outside the US (Typically across middle east and Europe) might be inaccurate at times
  • Intent score calculation is not revealed. Just need to go with the gut feeling

Return on Investment

  • Reduced cost of Ads by 50%
  • Stronger intent data reduced outreach emails sent by 30%
  • 10% increase in conversion on the book a demo page
  • Allign sales and marketing on the list of taget companies to approach

Usability

Return on Investment

The features of ZoomInfo, such as B2B DSP, retargeting, and meeting acceleration, help us retarget the customer and ensure he is always looking at the company website and messaging, so he's at the top of his mind when looking for an inventory management solution. The social advertising with intent data helped target the right company instead of the traditional spray and pray approach.

ZoomInfo is a Reliable Tool If Your Team has the Budget for It.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zoom Info helped us find reliable contact information for leaders of organizations. One of the most difficult parts of reaching out to businesses about service products is ensuring you have accurate information on who the best point of contact is to work with. Zoom Info helped my team find that information with relative ease and work more efficiently on time-sensitive projects.

Pros

  • Identifies best points of contact.
  • Provides reliable contact information.
  • Gathers and keeps information in one spot.

Cons

  • Cost
  • Process can be clunky to inform ZoomInfo about issues.
  • N/A

Return on Investment

  • Increased size of business' funnel.
  • Streamlines the identification process for new customers.
  • Data tracking is excellent.

Usability

Return on Investment

Our team didn't use ZoomInfo for social advertising. The main purpose of using ZoomInfo is data scraping, and it is also helpful for accelerating meetings. B2B sales can be challenging, and having the right contact information can make all the difference in whether you can move potential clients through the pipeline.
