Our take
It was only a few years ago when B2B sales teams relied on warm introductions and contact books. Now, cloud-based CRM, automation and Big Data are critical tools for any selling process. ZoomInfo’s B2B contact base has played a massive part in that journey.
The company primarily helps salespeople find potential customers. Crucially, ZoomInfo then leverages technology to help make that approach as successful as possible. Think contact details of the most likely budget holder at that company, signal for when and how to approach and crucial updates on the company’s fortunes.
ZoomInfo has grown significantly over the previous few years and is now shifting its approach to pursue more inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions, acquiring several companies in 2022, including the job recruitment website Comparably.
The risk for ZoomInfo is that these moves represent expansion beyond its traditional strengths in top-of-funnel customer acquisition. The company will need to ensure that it maximizes synergies in order to win in these markets. The company has expanded operations in India and is set to see further expansion, as indicated by its appearance on the Fortune Future 50 list of robust and growing companies in 2023.
