Industry Sales Intelligence

Sales Intelligence for managed IT

Growth Assist helps managed IT sales teams identify companies showing signals that create a reason to engage.

The challenge

Traditional prospecting creates too much noise.

Managed IT prospecting often relies on broad company-size filters, which can produce long lists with little indication of need or timing.

A stronger model looks for business change: growth, leadership movement, new locations, hiring or technology events that may create a reason to review IT support.

Intelligence model

The model combines fit, research and buying signals.

Ideal customer profile

  • Growing multi-site businesses
  • Companies with operational dependency on IT
  • Leadership teams going through change
  • Organisations with visible hiring or technology transition

Research areas

  • Leadership movement

Fictional person and contact details.

Recommended sales action

Call Imran Patel on 01632 960832.

Ask how the two acquired homes are being brought onto group IT and the new digital care records system.

Find out whether support and security arrangements are being reviewed as part of that rollout.

Why this approach

Integrating acquisitions is a clear, current problem the IT Director is likely already working on.
