Why is data profiling so important in B2B?


The success of any digital marketing campaign largely depends upon the quality of data you have collected. Inaccurate or obsolete data can seriously hamper your lead generation and nurturing efforts.



Suppose you are using a 2 year old database. You call a principal prospect, only to find out that the person is no longer associated with the same job title, or even the company! Or, the email address you had been using has been changed, and your emails aren't even reaching the right person!

It is also possible that you have multiple entries for the same person in your database. As a result, if you end up sending the same message multiple times to the prospect, you can land up in their spam list.

Thus, the necessity of maintaining an updated and error-free database cannot be overlooked. Here is where the systematic process of data profiling can help you. It helps you remove any inaccurate or outdated data, and get rid of duplicate entries. Data profiling also allows you to segment your data into various categories like geographical location, job role, company size, etc., for more accurate prospect targeting.
