Data Best Practices to Grow Sales and Increase Marketing Efficacy

Too often do we hear, “this technology or better data will solve your problems” – while this is partly true, the real value comes from how your systems are implemented and utilized by your revenue team. We all want the best technology and cleanest data, yet even with the shiniest new technology or the latest data file we still fall short of targets.

According to Frost & Sullivan research*:

• 61% of companies say “becoming more data-centric” is a top business priority
• Business data grows an average of 44% per year

Rapidly expanding company and customer information means competitive, successful marketers need robust strategies that capture and optimize data and information.    

To extract the true power of your technology and data, the following three pillars will help you successfully optimize your systems to generate and convert more revenue.

1. Leverage data to create and optimize pipeline by:

• Following best-in-class data hygiene practices
• Standardizing and normalizing the data
• Purging and deleting old data regularly

2. Make sure your data is:

• Clean and usable  
• Easy to consume 
• Analyzed through state-of-the-art tools

3. Data-sharing best practices:

• Ensure data and system interfaces are user-friendly
• Share data across the organization
• Create a consistent feedback loop on information and insights 

“You want clean, usable data that stick to standardized practices… and you want to consume that data in the best possible way.” – Roberta Gamble, Partner and Vice President, Frost & Sullivan

“Many companies are data-rich but insight poor.” — Tom Keefe, Senior Director of Marketing Operations, Demandbase
