Find New Accounts that Aren't Yet in Your CRM

Overview

To ensure your target account list includes companies that meet your criteria, are showing strong buying signals, and are demonstrating interest in your product, it’s important to discover and add in the right net-new accounts in addition to your known accounts. These are accounts that might not be in your CRM or MAS.

With Demandbase Account Selection you can use the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically recommend target accounts for your organization based on the inputs you include in your Demandbase profile. The output of an Account Selection-generated audience includes accounts across our entire database that are showing intent for your products or services, including accounts that are not yet in your other systems.
