DESCRIPTION
What information is available to B2B marketers? Where does it originate from; how can it be used in the marketing process? Tony Pringle, BvD's UK MD will look at these issues and discuss the relevance of external data, what it can show you about your customers and prospects and how integrating it with your CRM can make you more efficient. Tony will illustrate how a CRM data integration process works, what you need to take into account and what the benefits are. He'll show you how external data sources can complement and enhance your own data and how you can use them effectively to: • Find new prospects • Learn more about your existing prospects • Create targeted lists • Automatically enrich and refresh your own data for more strategic sales and marketing and lead nurturing.
