1. Why is customer data "gold" in sales?

In a fiercely competitive business environment, sales is not just about introducing products, you need to answer the questions: Who are the customers? What do they need? What is their shopping behavior? This is where customer data comes into its own:

• Deeply understand customers: Data provides a 360-degree view of each customer's profile, needs, preferences and behaviors so you can truly "read" them
• Identify potential opportunities: Helps accurately identify the Leads with the highest conversion potential, thereby focusing resources on the right audience, avoiding waste
• Personalize the experience: Allows you to customize marketing messages and product/service recommendations to suit each individual, instead of a general message
• Predict trends & optimize strategies: Analyzing past data helps you predict future customer shopping behavior, making smarter sales decisions and business strategies
• Improve sales performance: With accurate and properly analyzed data, sales teams can make informed decisions and optimize processes
