Intent data could help increase the response rate of outbound campaigns by targeting “warm” leads.

Initiate your Search with Intent Data

Applying Intent filters from the Intent Tab 

1. Adjust the slider to filter surge scores (this would filter results based on the strength of the intent signals).

2. Select either AND/OR to specify if you want companies surging in topic 1 AND topic 2 or topic 1 OR topic 2.

3. Filter Companies showing intent by their trend over the last 7 days.

   1. New - the companies that have only recently started showing intent in a topic.

   2. Increasing - companies that have had an increased intent in a topic over the last 7 days.

   3. Decreasing - companies that have had a decreased intent in a topic over the last 7 days.

   4. No change - the intent of the companies in selected topics have not changed in the last 7 days.

4. The Heatmap provides a colour coded insight into trending topics. Topics with higher scores are shown in red at the top of the heatmap. Clicking a topic from the heatmap will filter to only companies surging in that topic.

5. Select the accounts you wish to find contacts from and click Find Contacts. This will redirect you to the Prospector Tab where the active Intent topic and Surge Score filters can be applied to Company and Person searches.
