When we outline a comprehensive plan for how to launch a product or expand into a new market, we need market data. To effectively connect with customers, gain a competitive advantage and deliver unique value, we need to understand the people and company profiles that exist in our Total Addressable Market (TAM), and compare how their data relates to our ICP in order to rationalize our predicted success in that market and identify where to start our sales and marketing efforts.  

Once we identify the right people and channels to reach them, we rely on their person and company data to create personalized content and campaigns that let them know we’re speaking to them specifically. Unfortunately, people change companies often. They change titles often. And companies go through mergers and acquisitions. Because the data that goes into the profiles across our TAM changes regularly, our traditionally purchased static datasets will inevitably become inaccurate. Spending time, money, and effort personalizing content for someone at their former job or outdated email is a wasted effort and can cost valuable opportunities. Even if you do reach them, referencing an old job title reflects poorly and signals a lack of awareness.

There’s no simple way to know when and which data is outdated, so many data users are forced to update their entire data environment to ensure their teams don’t waste energy on bad information. Unfortunately, manually keeping that data up-to-date across all of your CRM and marketing automation systems is incredibly tedious, cumbersome, expensive and often neglected. GTM leaders need a way to ensure their sales and marketing teams are operating from complete, up-to-date person and company profiles to ensure their GTM efforts are successful. They need dynamic B2B customer data – data that automatically updates across all of their systems.

Using dynamic customer data to improve your go-to-market (GTM) strategy involves leveraging real-time and up-to-date information about your customers to create more effective and targeted marketing and sales efforts. When your customer data is up-to-date, you can confidently utilize that dynamic data to enhance your GTM strategy. Here are 10 ways sales and marketing teams win with dynamic data:
