Showpad Crushes Prioritization and Pipeline Challenges With 6sense
76% of qualified opportunities sourced from 6QAs
"The beauty of 6sense is that it looks back at where you perform well and then surfaces other accounts who are doing the same behaviors that those other accounts were doing when they bought. We leverage 6sense to bubble up who we should be focused on."

Increase visibility & prioritization of accounts so reps would know where to focus their efforts every day.
Drive accountability so accounts would stop getting stuck along the way.
Increase pipeline with the help of account intelligence and prioritization.
According to Dustin Deno, SVP of Global Sales, “We’ve applied it to every area of our business, and we’re now expanding it into Europe and all geographies. We fundamentally believe in this approach and have made it the pillar of our outbound strategy.”
Gone is the frustration of not knowing where to focus sales efforts. Reps now start their days with crystal clear priorities laid out for them, all based on solid intent data and proven predictive models. And managers now have their own dashboard that rolls up their reps’ priorities into a quickly digestible format, so they too have an at-a-glance understanding of how high-priority accounts are being worked.
Since internal marketing and enablement are such a big deal at Showpad, the team built Showie, a virtual personal assistant for sales. Showie appears in the Salesforce dashboard — as well as in Slack and email — to keep 6sense-driven insights front-and-center for sales reps, wherever they are.
By leveraging the insights 6sense surfaces on how accounts are engaging and what they’re researching, reps can now focus their outreach with hyper-relevant information. By leading with value-packed conversations, they’re able to talk to people about what they care about and provide value at every step of the way — and the results have been eye-popping.
Deno notes, “Here’s how I see account prioritization: There are a million stones on the ground. As a seller, you’re turning them over one by one, looking for the best accounts. 6sense tells you, ‘Go look in that corner. That’s where the opportunities are.’ ” Clearly, the metrics support this approach:
