Written by David Roberts | Oct 17, 2023 12:53:45 PM

We’re another quarter down here at Cognism, and that means we’re back to fill you in on what we’ve been working on in the last three months. From major product developments and data diversification - we’ve been busy, to say the least.

Let’s dive into the last quarter’s achievements, and you may even get a sneak peek of what to expect next.

Scroll for the Product and Data milestones we’ve reached in the last three months 👇🏻

Data coverage

We’ve done it again... 

You already know that we pride ourselves on the availability and extensive offering of mobile data here at Cognism - but for Q3 we wanted to ensure we paid the same attention to our email data, too! Offering you a 360* approach to prospecting, no matter who you want to get in touch with.

"Cognism helps us get our foot in the door at key accounts quicker. The value doesn’t come from generating tons of opportunities but from giving us a considerable amount of confidence that good data is going into our CRM."

"The database gives us crystal clear visibility across accounts and a better potential chance of revenue."

George Elsey, Sales Operations Analyst at Slalom

There’s a lot to take in up there 👆🏻

Wanna speak to a member of our team about what you’ve seen us achieve this quarter as the leading sales intelligence provider? Hit that demo button down here 👇🏻

And by the time of our next product update, you can have evaluated our competitors and come to a conclusion like this…

"I think from the outside, your competitors look very advanced and fancy. They claim to be a 5-in-1 solution, or they can do anything we want them to do."

"But we had a trial for one and discovered that the database was not very up to date. Compared to Cognism it's very old. The European database is not as strong as Cognism."

Michael Wong, Head of Marketing at Plandek

Maximised your event follow-up with as much ease as this…

"Since using the platform, we can find the contact details of an event attendee at the click of a button."

"Here's an example: we've just concluded NRF and we've had our best-ever number of pre-booked meetings. Approximately 25% of these meetings came from email addresses that were pulled from Cognism!"

Harvey Jaggard-Hawkins, Business Development Manager at StoreForce

Revel in drastically improved speed to lead, similar to this…

"I'd say that Cognism's contributions to our overall sales generated pipeline would be about 20-40% of our total leads, which is a lot."

"Also, the speed to lead. Finding leads from certain companies used to take up to two days, but now it's about 2 minutes. It's amazing!"

Alexandru Taraboanta, Inside Sales Support & Lead Generation Expert at Aexus

And be on your way to generating return on your investment, fast, just like this…

"Before Cognism, the record number of meetings booked in one day was 26. With Cognism our record is 30 meetings booked in a day and 33% of these meetings are booked with C-Suite Executives!"

"On that day alone, the team generated £5.8 million pounds of revenue."
