The Benefits of Real-Time Wealth Insights through an API: Part 5 – Closing Deals Faster and Selling More

Welcome to the final part of our 5-part blog series on how you can use wealth data in real-time to improve your marketing and generate more sales.

We have covered a lot in our journeys through APIs over the past few months. In the first post, we discussed how to prioritize and understand your best leads. The second post talked about how you can get to know your audience better. In the third post, we talked about how you can use real-time insights to drive testing and succeed faster. Our fourth post covered how you should go above and beyond to cater to individuals by bringing out the white glove treatment.

This week, we wrap up our series with Part 5 – Closing Deals Faster and Selling More.

Closing business faster. Selling more products and services. Making money. These are universal goals for all companies. But how do you do it? It’s easier said than done, and obviously, there are many ways to reach your goals.

Most of those solutions will focus on one central theme – providing greater value to your customers and prospects. It’s simple really. Increase the value that you provide, and you will yield better results in your sales process.

That makes sense. But how do you drive more value through an API? The answer is marketing automation.

Before we dive into the details of how you can do this through an API, let’s start with a quick lesson on marketing automation. Our friends at Marketo have a great definition:

Marketing automation is a category of technology that allows companies to streamline, automate, and measure marketing tasks and workflows, so they can increase operational efficiency and grow revenue faster.

Marketing automation is a newer trend in the industry, but the concept has been around for a while. You can increase your value to consumers through personalized messaging and offers.

This is where the API comes in. By connecting to third party platforms and infusing valuable data with your own first party data, you can greatly increase the number of variables that can drive automation and personalization.

Let’s look at an example. Suppose someone is interacting with your website and fills out a custom form to download some content. Right away, you have some good first party data. You may capture their name, title, industry, and you have a basic understanding of their interests from their browsing and downloading history.

Connecting to third party platforms can greatly increase this value. We provide a comprehensive profile of individuals, including their demographic, interest, lifestyle, and of course, wealth data. A connection to our platform through our API can give you this information in real-time and give you many more options for personalization.

Personalize the products or content people see when they browse your site based on their interests. Or route them directly through your concierge service if they meet a certain wealth threshold. The possibilities are endless.

There is overwhelming evidence that personalization increases sales and close rates. Our pals at Triblio agree:

• Personalized CTAs resulted in a 42% higher conversion rate than generic CTAs. 
• Marketers see an average increase of 20% in sales when using personalized web experiences.
• Leads who are nurtured with personalized content produce a 20% increase in sales opportunities.

Don’t miss opportunities any longer. Ramp up your marketing automation game and customize your customers’ online shopping experience. This can mean higher transaction sizes, increased conversion rates, and, ultimately, more revenue.
