The Background of the Business Alliance Between uSonar and Grand Central: Supporting the Continuity of Intent Data-Driven Sales

As a cutting-edge sales methodology, corporate sales strategies leveraging intent data are gaining significant attention.
Sales methods utilizing intent data visualize the activities of companies and other entities based on web behavioral history, such as visitors to one's own website and media traffic data, for use in sales and marketing.
By estimating the intent of website visitors, it becomes possible to implement optimal customer approaches, ranging from new business development to churn prevention.

Intent data-driven sales are attracting attention as a highly effective strategy for increasing revenue, as they allow companies to approach prospects whose 'N' (Needs) and 'T' (Timing) are identified among the BANT (Budget, Authority, Needs, Timing) criteria essential for corporate sales, thereby significantly reducing wasted effort.
However, it is a fact that there are many hurdles to realizing sales driven by intent data, such as establishing a data infrastructure system that can integrate with internal data and securing sales and marketing talent skilled in data utilization. Cases where companies have considered implementation but decided against it, or withdrew after implementation, are frequently observed.
Therefore, uSonar, which can provide precise intent data, and Grand Central, a group of sales professionals, have combined their respective strengths to lower the barriers to adopting intent data-driven sales and have developed a sustainable 'Sales Package Plan'.
