Written by Xier Dang

At any given moment, eager buyers are searching for a solution just like yours. Wouldn’t it be great if you could pinpoint exactly who they are and bring them into your sales funnel at just the right time?

Spoiler alert: you can! It’s called Buying Intent, and it’s easy to use, built right into your prospecting workflow, and doesn’t cost you a fortune.

Introducing Apollo Buying Intent

We’re excited to announce the release of Buying Intent from Apollo!

Now you can access accurate and actionable buying intent data in the Apollo B2B database, helping sellers find and prioritize prospects who are actively looking to buy and engage them at the right time.

Buying intent is data signals gathered from companies’ online research and activity that indicate their interest in buying specific products or services. Armed with intent data intelligence—like exactly what, when, and how often prospects have shown intent to buy—sellers can target the right buyers, engage at the right time, and convert with the right message.

Apollo is bringing a differentiated intent data solution to the market, making Buying Intent simple and accessible to all. Together with leading intent data provider, LeadSift (a Foundry company), we now offer our users accurate and strong quality Buying Intent data in the most seamless prospecting experience.

“Our mission is to make world-class go-to-market solutions simple and accessible for all. Being the first data provider to offer a fully free version of an intent data solution brings us one step closer to our mission.”, says Apollo.io VP of Product, Krishan Patel. “After evaluating multiple intent data providers, we partnered with LeadSift (a Foundry company) for their accurate and quality intent data that improved our own sequence conversion rates.”
