Feature Overview
Account Insights (part of the Terminus Insights managed package) provides an aggregated view of the most crucial buying signal data, (both known lead/contact data and anonymous account-level insights) for your target accounts, and can be displayed right within Salesforce.
With Terminus Engagements, powered by Visitor ID and account-based advertising, users can easily create sales alerts and scheduled reports that tell reps which accounts they should be prioritizing each week. With Account Insights, reps can take their workflow a step further to understand who, within a specific account, they should reach out to, and how they should be tailoring their outreach based on areas of interest in that account.
Customers can also view this information in Data Studio, within the Account-Specific Page.
