Why Agencies Struggle with Lead Enrichment
According to Agency Management Institute's new business research, agencies spend an average of 3 hours researching each prospect before pitching. HubSpot's agency partner data shows that 72% of agencies lose pitches due to insufficient prospect research. RSW/US agency business development studies found that agencies with systematic prospect research processes win 45% more new business. Manual research cannot scale with active prospecting efforts.
Agencies need comprehensive prospect intelligence to craft winning pitches. Generic proposals lose to competitors who demonstrate deeper understanding of the prospect's business.

"We were spending entire days preparing for pitches. Someone would research the company, someone else would find contacts, then we would scramble to understand their challenges. Half the time we missed something obvious. Now AI handles research automatically and we walk into every pitch with complete context. Our pitch win rate improved 35% in the first quarter. Clients notice when you understand their business." ā Managing Director, B2B marketing agency
Agencies using automated lead enrichment report 80% reduction in research time and 40% improvement in pitch win rates.
