Custom signals from 50,000+ accounts. 8x lift on A-tier. Validated before deployment.
This enterprise identity verification company had 40% of rep activity on low-value accounts. They used custom signal scraping and backtesting to validate an 8x lift propensity model before deployment.
The Situation
The RevOps team knew they had whitespace - but so much that prioritization was a nightmare. With > 20k target accounts, and no idea which accounts they were missing, many target accounts with no logged meetings or opportunities in 2 years. But they couldn't just tell reps to "work better accounts" or "do more activities" — they needed to prove which signals actually predicted success.
"We had hypotheses on what makes someone a good customer, and how to prioritize. But the data told a different story."
The Challenges
- Gap between hypothesis and reality: Some "perfect fit" accounts never converted. Some unexpected wins came from outside the traditional ICP.
- Signals that don't exist in enrichment: Keywords like "loan origination," "KYC," tech stack in job postings.
- No way to validate before deploying: How do you know scoring works before wasting quarters of rep time?
- Data scattered across 8+ tools: Salesforce, Looker, Clari, Adaptive Insights, Monday.com.
The Solution
Custom Signal Scraping at Scale
Scraped completely custom signals from 50,000+ potential accounts — website keywords, job posting tech stack, regulatory compliance indicators - with zero engineering effort.
"We found a single website keyword that consistently identifies someone as 1.8x more likely to convert. You can't buy that from ZoomInfo."
Propensity Scoring with Backtesting
Built a scorecard model validated against 2+ years of historical data before deployment.
"The backtesting was the unlock. We knew our scoring model worked before we deployed it to reps."
See Around Corners
Integrated external market data to explain the "why" behind internal metrics.
"The 'see around corners' capability is real. We're integrating external signals into our workflows — not just reacting to what happened, but anticipating what's coming."
"I used to get blindsided in leadership meetings. 'Why is Financial vertical down?' Now I have the answer before anyone asks."
What the VP of RevOps Says
"Every GTM tool tells you what happened. This tells you why — and what to do about it before your pipeline tells you it's too late."
"The propensity model doesn't just score accounts — it explains why. Reps trust it because they can see the logic."
"Reps aren't working harder - they're working the right accounts. That's how you maintain efficiency while scaling headcount."
The Results
- 8x higher expected value on A-tier vs. average accounts
- +8.2k high-propensity accounts identified with no activity in 2 years
- 2x win rate on A-tier vs. C-tier
- 5x ACV on A-tier vs. C-tier
- $1.8M incremental revenue opportunity solely from re-allocation
- 50+ custom signals not available from any enrichment provider
- Eliminate manual RevOps reporting with AI revenue analyst.
Key Takeaway
Don't guess. Use analytics to validate before you push it to the team.
