View Recommended Buying Group Members

Context

After you set up buying groups and buying group personas, Demandbase begins recommending contacts at your known accounts as buying group members in Demandbase One for Sales (formerly Sales Intelligence). Demandbase uses the personas and product interests you added when setting up your buying groups to determine which contacts to recommend.

The recommended buying group members shown for each account are sorted by a combination of their Engagement Minutes and job level. For each recommendation, you can see their associated buying groups and the potential buying roles they play in each of those groups. Demandbase shows multiple buying roles for a recommendation if the assigned persona was set up with multiple buying roles.

You can view the recommended buying group members in the following areas of the Sales web app:

• Account preview section of the Prescriptive Sales Dashboards
• Top People section on the Account tab
• Buying Group sub-tab on the People tab
• Person preview and full profile page on the People tab

Tips:

• Demandbase only recommends buying group members for known accounts when they're available.
• You can also view recommended buying group members from the same areas of the Account and People tabs of the CRM iFrame.
