Research & Discovery

Uncovering the Disconnect Crisis

Conducted stakeholder interviews and collaborated with data scientists to understand B2B data fragmentation challenges. Sales teams couldn't see marketing engagement; marketing couldn't track sales outcomes.

Key Research Insights:

  • Sales teams operated blind to inbound marketing activity
  • Marketing couldn't connect campaigns to revenue outcomes
  • Existing tools (Salesforce, Marketo) didn't communicate effectively
  • The "Customer 360" was a major unsolved enterprise challenge
Before: Fragmented B2B Data Landscape
MARKETING DATA

• Content downloads

• Campaign engagement
Marketo
SALES DATA
• Contact records
• Call logs
• Deal pipeline
• Account notes
Salesforce
The Problem: Sales teams couldn't see that prospects had downloaded whitepapers. Marketing couldn't track which campaigns drove actual revenue.

Core UX Challenge

Demo-Ready Data Preparation

Enterprise data tools require complex rule builders – perfect for real data work, impossible for sales demos. Designed a toggle-based approach that could standardize prospect data in real-time while showcasing ML capabilities.

Strategic UX Decision:

  • Start with demo-optimized toggles for common standardization tasks
  • Design architecture to evolve toward full custom rule building
  • Hide complex ML processing behind simple, intuitive controls
  • Enable real-time data transformation during live presentations
