What is third-party intent data, explained for 2026?

Third-party intent data in 2026 is research-behavior signal collected from a network of B2B publishing properties outside the buyer's owned web presence and aggregated into account-level surges that indicate which companies are actively investigating a category, a competitor, or a problem space. It is what marketing and sales use to detect intent before a buyer ever lands on the vendor's own site.

How to Set Up Account Scoring Without a Data Science Team

Account scoring without data science is a transparent, rule-based score that any revenue operations analyst can build, document, and maintain inside a CRM.
