Are you being asked to drive pipeline with limited budget, underperforming intent sources, or overall diminishing return on investments? If it feels like you're doing all the right things to reach your buyer, but you aren't hitting your revenue targets, you're not alone. Sales and marketing effectiveness is the number one challenge plaguing go to market teams. And the real reason for this is buyers don't trust you. They don't trust your website, marketing collateral, and they definitely don't wanna talk to sales before they're ready to buy. Simply put, buyers have trust issues. They don't wanna get fired for buying the wrong tech, and we can't blame them. They want real proof from real people that your product works, and user reviews are a top three influence on their decisioning. That's why technology buyers visit TrustRadius each year to read reviews and do in-depth research on tech solutions. Wouldn't it be great if you knew who those buyers were? Now you can. TrustRadius intent driven leads program captures buyers reading reviews, comparing you to competitors, watching demos, and more, and turns them into ICP match leads. TrustRadius customers are already seeing results from this powerful new program. Here's how it works. TrustRadius captures account information from who's checking you and your competitors out. We then filter those accounts by your target account list and ICP criteria identifying truly qualified accounts. Next, TrustRadius targets those buyers with trusted market reports and customer stories derived from your reviews. We already know reviews are very influential to buyers, and these content assets give you the authority you need to grow your buyer confidence and trust. Those leads are seamlessly integrated into your system of choice for sales and marketing follow-up. It's simple. You may be familiar with this type of formula, but the data quality and execution is very different. Why? First off, it's our first party intent data. No blended sources, which means no junk.
