How Misdirected Targeting Drains Your Sales Resources

Effective targeting is at the heart of any successful Sales & Marketing strategy. Yet, many SaaS and tech companies waste time and resources by pursuing prospects who aren’t a good fit. Research shows that 42% of sales reps feel they don’t have enough information before making a sales call*, leading to misdirected efforts.

The Challenge: Misdirected Targeting

Misdirected targeting can occur when companies lack the data or insights to identify their ideal customers correctly. Instead of focusing on high-value prospects, sales teams may chase leads that are unlikely to convert.

Research reveals that the average salesperson only spends one-third of their day talking to prospects, often because they’re wasting time on poorly targeted leads.

Precision in Targeting

By identifying high-value accounts from the outset, companies can focus on prospects most likely to become customers. Prioritizing prospects based on intent data can boost conversion rates by 35%*, making targeted outreach far more effective than traditional methods.

The Impact of Misdirected Targeting

Pursuing the wrong leads can have a significant impact on your company’s bottom line:

• Wasted Time: Sales reps spend hours pursuing leads that don’t align with your product or service, leading to inefficiencies.

  
  

• Inefficient Resource Allocation: Misdirected targeting diverts resources from high-value accounts, reducing overall sales effectiveness.

  
  

• Missed Revenue Opportunities: Data shows that salespeople waste an average of 50% of their time on unproductive prospecting*, meaning your company is missing out on potential revenue.

  
  

The Path Forward: Use Data to Guide Targeting

To correct misdirected targeting, SaaS and tech companies must invest in data-driven strategies that help them identify the right prospects, focus on the accounts that matter most, and align their sales and marketing efforts accordingly. Research shows that companies using data-driven sales strategies see a 5-6% increase in revenue*, making this technique an intelligent investment for their business.
