How does the Product Need Identifier find prospect needs?

It uses Generative AI to scan and interpret unstructured data sources like company websites, annual reports, and technical PDFs. It looks for semantic matches between your product specs and their stated operational requirements.

Is this different from standard lead generation?

Yes. Standard lead gen finds *people* (contacts). The **Product Need Identifier** finds *problems* (needs) and matches them to your specific *solutions* (inventory), ensuring higher relevance and conversion.

Can it handle complex technical products?

Absolutely. It is designed to parse technical specifications and engineering data, making it ideal for complex industries like manufacturing, chemicals, and electronics where simple keyword matching fails.

Does it integrate with my CRM?

Yes. It acts as an intelligence layer, pushing qualified, needs-matched leads and context directly into CRMs like Salesforce or HubSpot, ready for your sales team to action.

What is the expected ROI?

Organizations typically see a 10% boost in seller productivity and a 33 percentage point increase in offer accuracy. Additionally, it contributes to a potential 21% reduction in inventory holding costs.

What is Product Need Identifier?

Inventory-to-Prospect Engine. The greatest sales friction is irrelevance-reps scour LinkedIn finding no specific problems to solve.

Agent scans manufacturer digital footprints for sustainability reports indicating compatible material shifts. Finds technical fits, not just leads. Automates solutions engineer role at prospecting stage.
Dead Stock Liquidator. Industrial manufacturing and electronics distribution have massive capital tied in "dead stock." Actively hunts buyers with niche requirements for slow-moving items. Monitors for competitor stockouts and regulatory changes creating sudden demand. Turns warehouse liability into liquidity.
95% Research Ready. Buyers conduct 95% of research before contacting vendors. Preemptively identifies and addresses their needs-meeting buyers exactly where they are, with exactly what they need, at the exact moment. Transforms sales from numbers game to precision operation.
