Why waste time on cold calls when you can make 25 warm, value-driven touches in the time it used to take to make five cold calls?
Let’s face it — the world of broadcast is changing, and your team doesn’t have time to waste chasing outdated leads or second-guessing who the right contact is. Every call, every email, every outreach should be strategic, and that starts with having the right data.
That’s where Data Enrichment, powered by the ShareBuilders Assistant, comes in.
The Hidden Cost of Cold Calls
Cold outreach is the least efficient part of the sales process. Reps spend valuable time hunting down contact names, verifying titles, guessing email formats, and navigating outdated org charts — often just to be met with radio silence.
It may not be that your pitch is wrong. It’s that your data isn’t working hard enough for you.
Data Enrichment solves this by doing what no spreadsheet ever could: it intelligently fills in the blanks, updates stale records, and gives you the confidence that your message is reaching the right person at the right time — with the right message.
Smarter Outreach Starts with Enriched Data
Imagine opening your CRM and instantly seeing:
-
The correct contact with title, email, and phone number
-
A full DISC assessment of the contact you are reaching out to
-
Pain points and insights for every account
-
Brand logos, colors, and taglines
-
Past activity and pending revenue, all in one view
That’s not a dream — it’s data enrichment done right.
Powering Personalization with Purpose
Today’s buyers don’t respond to generic outreach. They respond to personalized, value-driven conversations that prove you’ve done your homework. That’s why Data Enrichment doesn’t just clean up your CRM — it powers strategic VBRs (Value-Based Reasons) that connect to real challenges and opportunities.
Whether you’re prospecting new business, upselling, or renewing, your team can confidently engage with messaging that resonates.
With the Data Enrichment Assistant, your team can:
-
Identify Relevant Contacts: Stop guessing and start connecting with decision-makers and influencers.
-
Keep CRM Records Up to Date: Automatically capture changes in leadership, ownership, or structure across brands and stations.
-
Craft Stronger VBRs: Leverage insights to tailor outreach based on real business context and market dynamics.
-
Accelerate Sales Cycles: Spend less time researching and more time selling.
-
Drive Higher Response Rates: Personalized, relevant outreach cuts through the noise and earns replies.

Know what your customer needs before you knock on the door!
Man selling household wares to Dutch housewives. Amsterdam, 1953. Collectie Spaarnestad.
As I head to answer the front door, I wonder if I will hear a pitch for candy bars, coupons or lawn care. This time it is for siding and home maintenance. The pitch starts immediately.
Him: Good afternoon, ma’am. Now, I ‘m not here to sell you anything
My mind: Then why are you here?
Him: We have taken all of our advertising dollars out of TV and radio because it is so expensive and, as we know, no one is listening to radio or watching TV like they used to. Instead, we are putting it all back into savings for our customers!
My mind: Clearly he has no idea where the money came from to buy this lovely home.
Him: All we ask is that you put this small sign up in your yard, and we can offer you major savings on siding and home improvements!
My mind: I thought you weren’t here to sell me anything!
Him: Many of your neighbors have already agreed to this (he flips through his order pad).
My mind: I don ‘t care. What does that have to do with me?
Him: Frankly, we like this neighborhood because there is a lot of traffic because of the schools, and people here do take care of their homes
My mind: I can ‘t take much more
Him: (as he flips open his pad) So, I just need your name..
Me: OH! The old assumed close! Now let me ask YOU a few questions. You say you want your signs here because of high traffic. Does that mean you want reach? How important is frequency to you?
Him: Uhhhh, we like that too!
Me: And you say you like the neighborhood because we take care of our homes. So, you have defined a definite target, it seems?
Him: Uhhhh, well, people with homes that will spend on our products.
Me: Then you ARE here to sell me something! You are selling me on another appointment to sell me your products, right?
Him: Uhhhh, well
Me: And if you had bothered to ask me any questions you might have found out that my AND my husband ‘s entire careers were spent in broadcasting, much of them in media sales. Those expensive radio and TV commercials got a lot of great results for many clients, many of whom I still call friends, because I developed great ideas to help them get reach and frequency to a targeted audience. They built their businesses on it.
Still me: So I might suggest you customize your approach and ask some questions. Oh, and be honest. You are ringing my bell to sell me something. I appreciate a great salesperson.
Moral of the story: In media sales,
- Research your clients to be sure your station ‘s target matches their product or service target before you go in.
- Listen more than you talk.
- Have a valid reason to peak a potential client ‘s interest in talking to you.
- Customize your approach by doing homework before the call, by listening, and by watching.
- Don’t waste people ‘s time.
A sales pitch will be ignored unless you are under 15 years old or selling a product that people must have, like chocolate.
