FAQ: ICP Account Planning and Propensity Modeling
How does HG Insights enable predictive account targeting and prioritization?
HG Insights enables predictive account targeting by combining deep account-level intelligence with AI-driven modeling to identify which companies are most likely to convert.
Instead of relying on static rules or surface-level attributes, HG analyzes firmographics, technographics, IT spend, buying-center context, historical performance, and real-time buyer intent. This allows teams to categorize and rank accounts based on solution fit, value, and likelihood to buy, ensuring GTM teams focus on the opportunities that matter most.
What makes HG Insights’ predictive scoring different from traditional lead or account scoring?
Traditional scoring models rely on fixed point systems and limited data, which quickly become outdated and opaque. HG Insights uses dynamic, AI-driven predictive models that continuously adapt based on account behavior, intent signals, and historical outcomes.
Scoring is explainable and transparent. Teams can understand why an account is ranked highly, which signals contributed to the score, and how changes in behavior affect prioritization. This builds trust across sales, marketing, and RevOps while improving conversion and productivity.
What data goes into HG Insights’ predictive scoring models?
HG’s predictive scoring models incorporate a broad range of first-, second-, and third-party data, including firmographics, technographics, IT spend, technology adoption trends, buying-center insights, and verified buyer intent signals from TrustRadius.
These inputs are enriched with historical performance data and continuously updated signals, allowing models to reflect real market conditions. The result is higher-precision scoring that captures both fit and active buying interest, not just static profile attributes.
How does predictive scoring integrate into our existing systems and workflows?
HG Insights is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing GTM stacks through native integrations and APIs. Predictive scores and prioritized account lists can be delivered directly into CRM, MAP, sales engagement platforms, data warehouses, and analytics tools.
Teams can consume HG data natively within the platform or via APIs to support custom models and workflows. Prioritized accounts and leads can automatically trigger campaigns, sales plays, routing, and reporting, ensuring predictive insights are operationalized without disrupting existing systems.
