Account intelligence data is a comprehensive dataset that combines firmographic, technographic, intent, news, and organizational information about a prospect company to enable sales and marketing teams to make informed, data-backed decisions about account prioritization, outreach strategy, and value proposition positioning. It transforms accounts from anonymous targets into understood, researched opportunities.
Account scoring is the answer to a question that keeps your sales leader awake at night: “Out of our 2,000 accounts in the pipeline, which ones should my team actually focus on?”
B2B attribution assigns credit to marketing activities and sales touchpoints that influenced a deal. It answers: Which campaigns generated the lead? Which content shaped the decision? Which sales activities accelerated the close? B2B attribution is harder than its B2C counterpart because buying involves multiple stakeholders, long cycles, and many touchpoints across months.
Firmographic data describes the characteristics of a company itself. Think of it as demographic data for businesses. Where demographic data answers questions about an individual (age, income, location), firmographic data answers questions about organizations (industry, size, revenue, location, ownership structure). Firmographic attributes are the foundation of account selection and segmentation.
Buyer intent signals are specific, observable indicators that a prospect or account is in active evaluation mode. They answer the question: “Is this person actually considering a purchase?” Intent signals range from obvious (downloading your comparison guide) to subtle (visiting your competitor’s pricing page) to structural (your technology appearing in their tech stack for the first time).
Intent data captures real-world signals that a prospect or account is actively evaluating solutions in your space. These signals reveal when someone is in the market to buy, what problems they’re investigating, and which vendors they’re comparing. Intent data transforms cold targeting into warm outreach.
Technographic data describes a company’s technology environment: what applications they use, what infrastructure they run on, what tools and platforms they’ve adopted, and what technology decisions they’ve recently made. For example, knowing that a company uses Salesforce, HubSpot for marketing, and AWS for infrastructure is technographic data. Knowing that they recently upgraded from an older version of their ERP system is also technographic data.
Firmographic data is information about companies: size, industry, revenue, location, growth rate, technology stack, and organizational attributes. It is the B2B equivalent of demographic data in B2C marketing. Demographic data describes individuals (age, geography, income); firmographic data describes the organizations those individuals work for.
B2B account scoring is a methodology for ranking companies based on their likelihood and value as customers. Rather than scoring individual leads based on engagement with your marketing (the traditional lead scoring approach), account scoring evaluates entire accounts across multiple dimensions: fit for your solution, engagement level, buying signals, and strategic value.
Account-Based Marketing (ABM) attribution is a measurement framework that connects revenue outcomes specifically to account-level marketing activities rather than individual leads. Unlike traditional marketing attribution that tracks anonymous visitors and individual prospects through a sales funnel, ABM attribution asks a fundamentally different question: which marketing efforts and touchpoints drove engagement with our target accounts?
First-party data activation is the process of using customer and prospect data you own and control (email addresses, CRM records, website behavior, transaction history) to create audience segments and run personalized marketing campaigns, advertising, and outreach without purchasing or relying on third-party data sources.
