WHAT IS 3RD-PARTY INTENT DATA?

WHAT IS 3RD-PARTY INTENT DATA?
Two types of Intent Data:
Internal intent dataActivity that you’re capturing on your website, inside your marketing automation system, or through application logs. Because it is data you own, it is also referred to as first-party data.
External intent dataData collected by networks of b2b publishers either at the IP level, or through user registration and shared cookies. Because it is happening off your properties this is often referred to as third-party intent data.

IS INTENT DATA A GOOD SOURCE OF NET NEW LEADS?
New AccountsUse third party intent data to identify net new accounts that are in-market to buy but not in your database. Up to you to find the right contacts to prospect into.
New ContactsUse third party intent data to identify net new contacts who are in-market to buy but not in your database. Volume is significantly lower that IP matches and more expensive.

How do you use Intent data? More ways than you might think. It’s tempting just to treat intent-based lists as sales leads. But often the quality isn’t high enough for that. So the intent lists are often considered prospects to be touched through email, targeted advertising, and other low-cost media.

If you tell your reps that certain prospects are in-market, and they end up on a wild
goose chase, you’ll be diverting them from more productivity endeavors, and potentially
lose their trust.

WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
Scott Fingerhut VP Worldwide Marketing Demand Generation at Elastic
To me measuring intent is a requirement. It’s huge for not only identifying short-term purchase potential, but matching the message to the readiness for mid-and-long term buyers. With good intent insight you strive to make every interaction more relevant and every relationship stronger. To use an eHarmony analogy, having the perfect match is an important start but sending the first intro e-mail with a proposition for marriage is not going to lead to much..... in most cases

WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
Jon Miller Co-Founder CEO of Engagio Former Co-Founder of Marketo
I’ve seen great success from using internal behavioral signals to determine intent. Sales reps and SDRs learn over time which intent signals work best for them, whether it is downloading a particular piece of content, visiting a certain set of web pages, or clicking a particular kind of ad. When they are looking at a list of prospects, they’ll naturally gravitate to the signals they trust.
“
WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
Craig Rosenberg Co-Founder and Chief Analyst, TOPO
I have seen positive ROI case studies with 3rdparty intent data identifying net new leads, but it depends on the sources and the market.
For example there are companies that extract value from content syndication leads... though most don’t. 3rd-party intent data is the SAME THING except the media site doesn’t have to try to get them to download your white paper - they can just tell you that they did. For some companies, this concept can work if the conversion rates and cost per good lead are manageable.
My hope is that all intent data can move beyond content consumption and we can develop more predictive data points to identify intent. In other words, it’s a good idea... but has to get better over time.
“
WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
Matt Heinz President Heinz Marketing
Existing predictive models use demographic and firmographic data to predict who is likely to buy and to some degree, what product they’re most likely to select. The next leap forward is to accurately identify where individuals are in their buying process and whether they’re likely to buy soon. Today, first party intent data provides the best clues and broadest pipeline coverage, but the more comprehensive view you can create, the easier it is to tailor your follow-up messaging.
“
WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
Dan McGaw Founder & CEO, EffinAmazing.com
I think 3rd party intent data for predictive lead generation sounds good in theory. But the 3rd party data tends to be so limited and with so many holes, the data does not make it predictive. I would have more faith in buying lists of leads with emails and then running that through Infer to find good fits.
“
WHERE DO THE EXPERTS COME OUT?
David RaabRaab and Associates
Marketers and the technologist who support them need both the ideal vision of how things would work in a world of perfect data (which isn’t the same as a perfect world!) and the realistic understanding of what’s likely to be practical within their planning horizon.
