Understanding Buying Group Selectors

  • Updated

Buying group selectors allow you to identify and analyze accounts, people, opportunities, and activities associated with buying groups and their members. You can use these selectors to create lists, filters, reports, and other assets throughout Demandbase One.

Benefits of Buying Group Selectors

Buying group selectors help you:

  • Identify accounts and people associated with specific buying groups.
  • Target and engage key personas and buyer roles involved in purchasing decisions.
  • Identify buying groups with missing personas or buyer roles.
  • Analyze buying group engagement and completeness.
  • Refine targeting based on your go-to-market strategy, including product, geography, industry, or business unit.

Prerequisites to Access Buying Group Selectors

  • You must set up buying groups and buying group personas before you can use buying group selectors.
  • Make sure the selectors you want to use are supported for the asset you're creating. For example, buying group activity selectors are available when creating activity filters or reports.
