The Benefits of Yield Management and CRM integration
by Bob Swinehart | Apr 26, 2023
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Let’s face it — the world of broadcast is changing, and your team doesn’t have time to waste chasing outdated leads or second-guessing who the right contact is.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 Reps spend valuable time hunting down contact names, verifying titles, guessing email formats, and navigating outdated org charts — often just to be met with radio silence.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.
