The Challenge

The enterprise software sales intelligence challenge

Enterprise software sales is a high-stakes, multi-stakeholder game. Deals involve lengthy procurement cycles, multiple evaluators across IT, finance, and line-of-business teams, and increasingly sophisticated buyers who have already done 70% of their research before engaging a vendor. Reps who cannot add value beyond what a prospect can find on their own are cut from evaluations early.

The enterprise software landscape is also intensely competitive. Prospects are constantly evaluating vendors, and the difference between winning and losing often comes down to timing — engaging when a competitor's contract is up for renewal, when a CIO has just been hired, or when an organization announces a digital transformation initiative. These signals exist in the public domain but are scattered across news articles, earnings calls, LinkedIn, and job boards.

Generic sales intelligence tools provide firmographic data and basic intent signals, but they miss the contextual intelligence that enterprise software sellers need: which vendors a prospect is consolidating, what their technology roadmap looks like, and how a leadership change shifts buying priorities. Without this depth, reps waste cycles on poorly qualified accounts and lose winnable deals to better-prepared competitors.

Customer Story

How Frontify achieved 4x self-sourced revenue and 42% faster sales velocity

The Challenge

Frontify needed to scale their enterprise sales motion across EMEA and North America but lacked a standardized source of truth for account knowledge. Research varied by rep and region, and there was no scalable way to capture management intent across hundreds of target accounts. The result was inconsistent preparation and missed opportunities.

The Solution

Salesmotion became Frontify's intelligence engine, continuously scanning target accounts for strategic initiatives, leadership changes, and competitive signals. The platform reduced account research time by 90% and enabled a 42% increase in sales velocity by standardizing how the team prepared for and engaged enterprise accounts.
