Henry Schuck, founder and CEO of ZoomInfo, presented on the company's go-to-market strategy. ZoomInfo developed a data-driven approach that optimizes every stage of the sales cycle from lead generation and qualification to customer onboarding and retention. Key aspects of the strategy include using response time data to improve lead follow-up, optimizing demo routing, tracking sales metrics to plug leaks in the funnel, and segmenting accounts to balance workloads. The system aims to scale the business while maintaining industry-leading customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost and renewal rates.
