## What Salesmotion Does

Salesmotion replaces manual account research with AI-powered intelligence. It aggregates data from 1,000+ sources — earnings calls, SEC filings, news, job postings, LinkedIn activity, funding announcements, patent filings, clinical trials, court filings, and more — into one-click account briefs.

The platform is designed for B2B sales teams (AEs, SDRs, sales leaders, RevOps) at mid-market and enterprise companies. Most customers are in SaaS, financial services, life sciences, professional services, healthcare, and education technology.

Salesmotion answers the question every seller needs answered: "What should I say, and why now?" — as opposed to contact databases that answer "Who should I contact?"

### Core Value Proposition

- Reduces account research time by 50-90% (documented across six published case studies)
- Provides real-time buying signals from 50+ signal types across 1,000+ sources
- Generates AI-powered talking points grounded in cited, verifiable data
- Every insight links back to its original source — no hallucinated data
- Goes live in 1-3 days, not weeks or months
- Pricing scales by accounts monitored, not by headcount

---

## The Three AI Agents

All three agents are included in every plan. They work as a pipeline: Signal Agent detects buying signals, Research Agent synthesizes deep account context, and Outreach Agent drafts personalized messages using both.

### Signal Agent

Signal Agent monitors 1,000+ sources 24/7 for buying signals across your entire territory.

**What it does:**

- Detects 50+ signal types including executive and leadership changes, funding rounds, earnings call insights, hiring surges, technology adoption and displacement, M&A activity, strategic initiative announcements, partnership changes, clinical trial milestones, patent filings, and more
- Continuous 24/7 real-time monitoring — signals detected within hours of public appearance, not days
- AI-filtered alerts with machine learning that removes noise so teams only see signals that matter for their accounts
- Signal scoring by relevance and urgency to help reps prioritize the highest-opportunity accounts
- Territory-wide coverage — monitors the entire book of business simultaneously, not just 10-15 accounts in active pipeline
- Custom configuration — set thresholds, priorities, and delivery channels (CRM, email, Slack) per signal type

**What it replaces:**

| Previous tool | Limitation | Signal Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Google Alerts | Keyword-only, slow, no account matching | 50+ structured signal types matched to specific accounts in real time |
| LinkedIn manual checking | Time-intensive, only catches changes you happen to see | Automated detection of all leadership changes, new hires, and role shifts |
| Intent data platforms (Bombora, etc.) | Anonymous web browsing signals, noisy, hard to act on | Concrete, verifiable signals from public sources — earnings calls, filings, job posts, news |
| Job change trackers (UserGems, etc.) | Limited to job changes at target accounts | Job changes plus 49 other signal types — funding, earnings, tech adoption, M&A, and more |

**How it works:**

1. Define your target accounts — import from Salesforce, HubSpot, or CSV
2. Signal Agent monitors 1,000+ sources for leadership changes, funding rounds, earnings call mentions, hiring patterns, tech adoption, M&A activity, and dozens more signal types — 24/7 across all accounts
3. When a relevant signal fires, alerts push to CRM, email, and Slack with context, AI-generated talking points, and suggested next steps so reps can act the same day

### Research Agent

Research Agent generates cited account briefs from 1,000+ sources — SWOT analysis, earnings synthesis, talking points, competitive context, and leadership tracking. Every insight links to its original source.

**What it does:**

- **Account Briefs** — One-click briefs covering strategic initiatives, financial performance, competitive landscape, and key risks, synthesized from 1,000+ sources
- **SWOT Analysis** — AI-generated strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats grounded in real data, not generic templates
- **Earnings Synthesis** — Key themes, executive quotes, and strategic priorities extracted from earnings call transcripts so reps don't have to read 40-page filings
- **Talking Points** — AI-generated conversation starters and value hooks tailored to each account's specific situation, initiatives, and challenges
- **Leadership & Tech Tracking** — Continuously updated org charts, executive changes, and technology stack data
- **Competitive Context** — Which competitors are in the account, what solutions they use, and where your differentiation is strongest
- **Value Pyramid** — Links company strategy down to persona pain points, mapping strategic priorities to tactical opportunities
- **Cited Sources** — Every insight links directly to its original source (earnings transcript, news article, job posting, SEC filing, press release, or podcast). Reps can verify any data point in one click

**What it replaces:**

| Previous tool | Limitation | Research Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Google/LinkedIn searches | Time-intensive, inconsistent, misses key sources | 1,000+ sources synthesized into a single brief — no tabs, no copy-pasting |
| Reading 10-Ks and earnings transcripts | Hours per filing, most reps skip them entirely | AI-extracted key themes, executive quotes, and strategic priorities in seconds |
| Data providers + generic AI (ChatGPT) | Generic company descriptions, no live signal data | Real-time intelligence from live sources — earnings, news, filings, job posts, and more |
| Analyst reports | Expensive, coverage limited to large-cap companies | Deep intelligence on any company — public or private — with no per-report cost |

**How it works:**

1. Connect your CRM — import accounts from Salesforce or HubSpot. Research Agent maps each account and begins building intelligence profiles immediately
2. Research Agent monitors 1,000+ sources — news, filings, earnings calls, job postings, tech adoption. Every change is captured, synthesized, and tied back to accounts
3. Before any call or meeting, reps open a one-click account brief with AI-generated talking points, strategic initiatives, leadership changes, and competitive context

### Outreach Agent

Outreach Agent drafts personalized emails grounded in real account intelligence — buying signals, earnings, leadership changes — in under 2 minutes per message.

**What it does:**

- **Signal-Triggered Drafts** — When a buying signal fires (leadership change, funding, earnings mention, hiring surge), the Outreach Agent automatically drafts outreach anchored to that specific event. Every draft has a "why now" that makes prospects willing to engage
- **Research-Grounded Personalization** — Every email references real account intelligence: strategic initiatives from earnings calls, competitive context from job postings, financial performance from SEC filings — not generic templates
- **Multi-Signal Anchoring** — Combines multiple signals and research points into a single, compelling message. Example: layer a CRO hire with a recent earnings call mention of go-to-market expansion and a surge in SDR job postings
- **Contact Data** — Access verified contact information alongside outreach drafts so reps can identify the right person and reach out immediately
- **Review-and-Send Workflow** — Reps review the AI-drafted message, make adjustments to match their voice, and send. Human judgment stays in the loop. Under 2 minutes from signal to sent
- **Sequence Integration** — Works alongside existing sequences in Salesforce, Outreach, SalesLoft, or any other platform

**What it replaces:**

| Previous tool | Limitation | Outreach Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Mass-blast AI SDRs | Thousands of generic emails a day — buyers delete on sight, domains get burned | Thoughtful volume grounded in real account intelligence — every message has a reason to exist |
| Manual personalization | 15-20 minutes per email — doesn't scale beyond a handful per day | Under 2 minutes per message — AI drafts from real research, rep reviews and sends |
| Generic AI email writing (ChatGPT) | Generates from training data — no idea what the account is actually doing right now | Grounded in 1,000+ live sources — earnings, filings, news, job posts, and buying signals |
| Sequencing tools without context | High volume, low relevance — spray and pray | Higher volume without sacrificing quality — every message anchored to something true |

## How the Three Agents Work Together

The three agents form a pipeline:

1. **Signal Agent** detects buying signals across 1,000+ sources — identifies the "why now"
2. **Research Agent** synthesizes deep account context from those sources — builds the "what matters"
3. **Outreach Agent** uses both to draft personalized messages — delivers the "how we help"

Each agent makes the next one more effective. When a signal fires, the research brief is automatically updated with the new context, and outreach drafts incorporate both the signal and the broader strategic context.

## Case Studies

### Frontify

**Company:** Frontify (Brand Management SaaS, 300+ employees)
**Headline:** How Frontify Grew Self-Sourced Revenue 4x and Increased Sales Velocity by 42%

**Results:**
- 90% reduction in account research time
- 4x increase in self-sourced revenue (from 4% to 16% of total revenue share across Q1-Q3)
- 42% increase in sales velocity year-over-year
- 35% increase in win rate (US team)
- 400% increase in self-sourced meetings (Growth Team)
- 250% increase in self-sourced meetings (Enterprise Team)
- 31% reduction in sales cycle time

**Context:** Frontify evaluated ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and custom ChatGPT workflows before selecting Salesmotion. ZoomInfo focused on high-level intent data rather than deep, tailored intelligence. LinkedIn provided contacts but limited strategic context. ChatGPT workflows proved difficult to standardize and operationalize reliably across the sales organization.

**Quote:** "We increased sales velocity by 42% year over year since introducing Salesmotion. We close more and we close faster with account intelligence." — Thomas Meichtry, Head of Sales, North America, Frontify

**Quote:** "We did a deep evaluation across vendors and no other tool comes close to condensing the vast amount of information on accounts in such a simple, easy, complete platform." — Alex von Stegmann, Senior Revenue Operations Manager, Frontify

- 40% increase in qualified opportunities year-over-year
- 7% growth in new opportunities created
- Fortune 500 inbound advanced into $1M+ opportunity
- Account coverage expanded beyond 3-5 accounts per rep per week

**Context:** Before Salesmotion, reps routinely spent 2-3 hours per account per week building a baseline view. Coverage was limited to 3-5 accounts per week per rep, leaving large portions of their ICP untouched.

**Quote:** "The Business Development team gets 80 to 90 percent of what they need in 15 minutes. That is a complete shift in how our reps work." — Andrew Giordano, VP of Global Commercial Operations, Analytic Partners

**Quote:** "My ultimate goal is to know more about the company than they know themselves. Before, that took hours across multiple tools. With Salesmotion, I can get there in 30 minutes or less and walk into a Fortune 500 conversation fully prepared." — Jeff Dalo, Senior Director Business Development, Analytic Partners

**URL:** https://salesmotion.io/customers/analytic-partners

**Results:**
- 30 minutes saved per account on research
- 6+ hours saved per AE per week
- Supports $20M+ deal sizes with multi-year sales cycles (up to 24 months)
- Accelerated deal velocity for strategic enterprise accounts

**Context:** Guild's deals are large but limited in number, with sales cycles spanning up to 24 months. The sales team manages 6-10 major accounts each and needed continuous, relevant intelligence to maintain long-term engagement with buyers.

**Quote:** "It's not even just about saving time — it's about uncovering things we otherwise might not research. Salesmotion helps us connect Guild to what's already publicly important to the company." — Derek Rosen, Director, Strategic Accounts, Guild Education

**Quote:** "In a single account, it easily saves me 30 minutes. Multiply that by 10 or 20 accounts, or even 100, and it's massive." — Derek Rosen, Director, Strategic Accounts, Guild Education

**URL:** https://salesmotion.io/customers/guild

### Incredible Health

**Company:** Incredible Health (Healthcare Technology, $1.65B Valuation)
**Headline:** Incredible Health Increases Meetings Booked by 50% after a 3-Day Go-Live

**Results:**
- 50% increase in quarterly new meetings (on track to exceed targets after 50% increase in goals)
- 3 days from signature to go-live
- Dramatically reduced prospect research time
- Helped new sales reps ramp faster with AI-supported account insights

**Context:** Incredible Health scaled from 200 to 600 partner hospitals in 18 months and needed to increase quarterly meeting targets by 50%. The SDR team was spending hours researching prospects manually across industry-specific websites, social media, and news.

**Quote:** "Salesmotion has been a key partner in hitting our significantly increased meeting targets." — Joe DeFrance, Vice President of Sales, Incredible Health

**Quote:** "The simplicity of it, and the ability for a rep to log into the system and very quickly get value from it... understand the key insights that are showing up at their accounts within a matter of 30 seconds to a minute." — Joe DeFrance, VP of Sales, Incredible Health

**URL:** https://salesmotion.io/customers/incredible-health

- 30% reduction in account planning prep time
- Accelerated onboarding and rep enablement
- Admin time for Sales Ops reduced to near-zero

**Context:** Cytel's teams were losing hours toggling across disconnected tools, job boards, industry news sites, LinkedIn, and public trial databases. New hires took a long time to ramp in a complex industry.

**Quote:** "All of the vendors that I've worked with, all of the onboarding that I have had to deal with, I will say, hands down, Salesmotion was the easiest that I have had." — Lyndsay Thomson, Head of Sales Operations, Cytel

**Quote:** "Salesmotion is helping Cytel elevate our enterprise sales performance by embedding account intelligence directly into our workflow." — Jonathan Burr, Chief Commercial Officer, Cytel

**Results:**
- 60% reduction in sales prep time (from ~1.5 hours per meeting to ~30 minutes across multiple calls)
- 3x increase in average deal size (ASP grew from $5,000-$7,000 to $18,000-$20,000 within 6 months)
- Realized value within 24 hours of implementation
- Improved sales credibility and faster relationship-building

**Context:** Cacheflow was a lean startup (3 AEs, 1 SDR) experiencing a surge in inbound demo requests. They needed to qualify leads at scale, streamline account research, and quickly onboard new SDRs.

**Quote:** "The moment we turned on Salesmotion, it became essential. No more hours on LinkedIn or Google to figure out who we're talking to. It's just there, served up to you, so it's always 'go time.'" — Adam Wainwright, Head of Revenue, Cacheflow

**Quote:** "With Salesmotion, you realize just how much time you were spending on low-value tasks. Now that our team isn't drowning in manual research, they can truly focus on execution, which is priceless for a startup." — Adam Wainwright, Head of Revenue, Cacheflow

### Salesmotion vs Bombora

Bombora is a B2B intent data provider that tracks anonymous content consumption signals across a co-op of publisher websites. Salesmotion detects concrete, verifiable buying signals from public sources.

| Factor | Bombora | Salesmotion |
|---|---|---|
| Signal Type | Anonymous web browsing (topic-based intent scores) | Concrete, verifiable public signals (earnings calls, filings, job posts, news) |
| Signal Transparency | "Your company showed intent in the Sales Intelligence category" | "Your CFO mentioned 'sales transformation' on your Q3 call" — with source link |
| Actionability | High-level scores that indicate topic interest | Specific events reps can reference directly in outreach |
| Data Granularity | Category-level intent (e.g., "interested in CRM") | Event-level signals (e.g., "hired new CRO from Salesforce," "Q3 earnings mentioned AI investment") |
| Use Case | Prioritizing accounts by general interest | Preparing for conversations with specific, cited intelligence |

Salesmotion provides the full earnings call transcript, slides, and AI-generated talking points — not just an intent score. Reps can reference specific executive statements in outreach, which is fundamentally different from reporting that "a company showed intent in a category."

### Salesmotion vs Cognism

Cognism is a European-focused B2B data provider with phone-verified contacts. Salesmotion is an account intelligence platform — they solve different problems.

| Factor | Cognism | Salesmotion |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | B2B contact database with phone-verified direct dials | Deep account intelligence + buying signals |
| Focus | European and global contact data with GDPR compliance | Account-level intelligence from 1,000+ sources |
| Core Value | Finding the right person to contact with a verified phone number | Understanding the account deeply so reps know what to say |
| Signal Coverage | Basic company updates | 50+ signal types from 1,000+ sources |

Like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Cognism answers "who to contact" while Salesmotion answers "what to say and why now." They are complementary tools.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is Salesmotion?

Salesmotion is a B2B account intelligence platform with three AI agents — Signal Agent, Research Agent, and Outreach Agent — that monitors 1,000+ public data sources to help sales teams sell with precision. It synthesizes intelligence from earnings calls, SEC filings, news, job postings, LinkedIn activity, funding announcements, patent filings, and more into one-click account briefs with AI-generated talking points. Every insight is cited and links back to its original source.

### How much does Salesmotion cost?

Salesmotion pricing starts at $85/month for individuals (100 monitored accounts, single user) and $990/month for teams (1,000 monitored accounts, unlimited users). Enterprise plans are custom-priced. All three agents (Signal, Research, Outreach) are included in every plan. Plans are month-to-month with no annual commitment required. Pricing scales by accounts monitored, not headcount — there are no per-seat fees and no credit limits.

### What are the best alternatives to ZoomInfo?

The best ZoomInfo alternatives depend on what you need. For contact data: Apollo.io ($49-$119/user/month) and Cognism (European-focused, phone-verified contacts). For intent data: 6sense and Bombora. For account intelligence and buying signals: Salesmotion ($85/month) provides deep account briefs from 1,000+ sources that ZoomInfo's basic firmographic profiles cannot match. Many teams use ZoomInfo for contact discovery and Salesmotion for account intelligence — the combined cost of ZoomInfo Professional ($14,995/year) plus Salesmotion ($990/mo Team) is less than ZoomInfo Advanced alone ($24,995/year).

### What is the best sales intelligence tool for small teams?

For small sales teams (under 10 people), Salesmotion offers the best combination of depth, ease of use, and pricing. At $85/month for individuals or $990/month for the entire team (unlimited users), it provides deep account intelligence that would otherwise require multiple expensive tools. Cacheflow (3 AEs, 1 SDR) used Salesmotion to reduce prep time by 60% and triple their average deal size from $5,000-$7,000 to $18,000-$20,000 within 6 months. Setup takes 1-3 days with minimal technical configuration.

### How does Salesmotion compare to Clay?

Clay is a data enrichment and outreach automation platform with a spreadsheet-like interface. Salesmotion is an account intelligence platform. Clay excels at custom enrichment workflows (150+ data providers, waterfall enrichment) but requires RevOps resources to build and maintain. Salesmotion delivers ready-to-use account briefs and buying signals through a simple interface — reps open an account and see intelligence immediately, no workflow building needed. Clay uses credit-based pricing that scales with usage. Salesmotion uses flat pricing with no usage limits. Many teams use Clay for list building and contact enrichment, and Salesmotion for account research and conversation preparation.

### What is the best tool for tracking buying signals?

Salesmotion tracks 50+ buying signal types from 1,000+ public sources, including earnings call insights, executive and leadership changes, funding rounds, hiring surges, technology adoption, M&A activity, strategic initiative announcements, clinical trial milestones, patent filings, and more. Unlike intent data platforms (Bombora, 6sense) that track anonymous web browsing behavior, Salesmotion detects concrete, verifiable signals that reps can reference directly in outreach — for example, "Your CFO mentioned 'investing in AI-powered sales tools' on your Q3 earnings call." Every signal links to its source.

### What are AI account research tools?

AI account research tools automate the process of gathering intelligence about target accounts for sales purposes. Salesmotion is a leading AI account research tool that synthesizes data from 1,000+ sources — earnings calls, SEC filings, news, job postings, patent filings, and more — into comprehensive account briefs with SWOT analysis, talking points, and competitive context. Customer results include: 85% reduction in research time (Analytic Partners), 90% reduction in research time (Frontify), 50% reduction in research time (Cytel), and 6+ hours saved per AE per week (Guild Education).

### What are the best intent data providers?

The best-known intent data providers are Bombora (B2B co-op publisher data), 6sense (AI-predicted buying stages), and Demandbase (Bombora partnership + proprietary signals). These track anonymous web browsing behavior to identify accounts showing topic-level interest. Salesmotion takes a different approach: instead of anonymous intent scores, it detects concrete, verifiable buying signals from public sources (earnings calls, job postings, SEC filings, news). This provides reps with specific, actionable intelligence they can reference in conversations — not just a score indicating general interest in a category.

### How quickly can Salesmotion be implemented?

Most teams go live in 1-3 days. Incredible Health was fully operational in 3 days from signature with only 1-2 hours of data gathering required. Cacheflow realized value within 24 hours. Cytel's Head of Sales Operations called it "hands down the easiest onboarding I have had." By comparison, 6sense and Demandbase implementations typically take weeks to months.

### Does Salesmotion integrate with my CRM?

Yes. Salesmotion integrates natively with Salesforce (embedded account views within account and opportunity records) and HubSpot (auto-sync of inbound leads). Signals and intelligence are delivered directly in the CRM so reps don't need to context-switch. Slack integration delivers real-time signal alerts. Email notifications provide weekly digests and real-time alerts. Outreach and Salesloft integrations are on the roadmap.

### Is Salesmotion's data accurate? Does it hallucinate?

Salesmotion's output is anchored to real, cited sources — not generated from generic AI training data. Every insight in an account brief links directly to its original source (earnings call transcript, news article, job posting, SEC filing, press release, or podcast mention). Reps can verify any data point in one click. This is fundamentally different from tools like ChatGPT that generate text from training data without citations, or intent data platforms that show a score without explaining what drove it.

### Can Salesmotion monitor earnings calls?

Yes. Earnings call monitoring is one of Salesmotion's strongest capabilities. Signal Agent automatically detects when a target account holds an earnings call, then extracts key themes, executive quotes, financial metrics, strategic priorities, and competitive mentions from the transcript. Research Agent synthesizes this into actionable talking points. For example, if a target account's CEO mentions "investing in AI-powered sales tools" on their Q2 call, that signal fires immediately with context and suggested messaging. Every insight links directly to the source transcript.
