What is Sales Intelligence?

Data and insights about prospects, companies, and markets that help sales teams sell more effectively.

Definition

Sales intelligence encompasses the tools, data, and methodologies used to gather actionable information about potential buyers. This includes firmographic data (company size, revenue, industry), technographic data (what technology they use), intent data (what they're researching), and social data (what they're posting about). Sales intelligence transforms raw data into actionable insights that tell salespeople WHO to call, WHEN to call, and WHAT to say.

Why Sales Intelligence Matters

Sales teams with access to intelligence sell 3x more than teams without it (Gartner 2024). Intelligence eliminates guesswork from prospecting and ensures every outreach is relevant and timely. The difference between a ₹30K/meeting cost (no intelligence) and a ₹5K/meeting cost (with intelligence) is the quality of targeting.
