The Importance of Quality Data in Sales

In the dynamic world of sales, accurate and up-to-date data is critical for success. Imagine using a GPS that’s mapped to the wrong address — not only won’t you reach your desired destination, but you can end up in the entirely opposite direction. In business, data works like the address in your GPS — it guides you to your desired destination, which is sales.

According to research from Validity, data decay is an ongoing issue that can ruin your CRM data, hurt your processes, and negatively impact your bottom line.

What’s data decay? It’s the gradual loss of information quality over time. In the context of business and customer relationship management, data decay is inaccurate and irrelevant customer data due to changes like contact information, preferences, and purchasing behavior.

Inaccurate data leads to multiple challenges that impact operations and finances, including:

• Loss of revenue and productivity over time.
• Lower conversion rates since you may target the wrong customers or people no longer interested in your products or services.
• Inaccurate decision-making based on outdated information.

Surfe offers a solution. By connecting Pipedrive to LinkedIn, sales professionals can be sure customer profiles are always current and relevant.

Where Social Selling Becomes Data-Backed Insights

With social selling, the practice of using social media platforms like LinkedIn to engage with prospects, you can leverage data and gain valuable insight into customer behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. When integrated with a CRM system, social selling is more trackable and insightful.
