From Gut Feeling to Data-Driven Decisions
Most sales teams make targeting decisions based on intuition. Data-driven teams outperform by focusing their efforts where the data says they'll have the most impact.
Step 1: Analyze Your Wins
Start by understanding your existing customers:
- Which industries convert best? — Use Insyte to profile your top customers by industry
- What company size is your sweet spot? — Look at employee count and revenue patterns
- Where are they located? — Geographic patterns in your win data
- What triggered the purchase? — Common buying signals before they became customers
Step 2: Build Your Total Addressable Market (TAM)
Use Insyte's company search to quantify your opportunity:
- Apply your ICP filters
- Note the total number of matching companies
- Segment by industry, size, and geography
- Estimate revenue potential per segment
Step 3: Prioritize Segments
Not all segments are equal. Rank them by:
- Fit score — How well they match your ICP
- Market size — How many companies are in the segment
- Win rate — Historical conversion rates for similar companies
- Deal size — Average revenue per customer in the segment
Step 4: Allocate Resources
Based on your analysis:
- High-fit, large market → Invest heavily in outreach and content
- High-fit, small market → Target with personalized, account-based approaches
- Low-fit, large market → Test with limited resources before scaling
- Low-fit, small market → Deprioritize for now
Step 5: Measure and Iterate
Track these metrics monthly:
- Pipeline generated per segment
- Conversion rate by segment
- Average deal size by segment
- Time to close by segment
Use the data to continuously refine your targeting and messaging strategy.
