As AI has become more mainstream, organizations are realizing that employing artificial intelligence can easily become a total dumpster fire. But why? Because AI fails without the right data foundation and buying signals (you know, to fuel the robots).

In order to actually grow your business and find your next customer using AI, you need to go beyond your messy CRM data with clean, real-time intent and buyer data. This will get your sales and marketing to work together as an agile team by going after the same buying signals — the ones that your competitors are likely missing.

To showcase this, we are bringing sales and marketing together.

We’ll discuss practical and actionable use cases for applying AI to all the buying signals and data available to you.
