What is management intent?

Management intent offers powerful insights into what senior executives at your accounts and prospects are focusing on.

Management intent is based on what the C-suite and line of business leaders say in investor presentations, earnings calls with analysts, annual reports and other company documents.

As such, it gives an insight into the top priorities of senior executives. A few examples of management intent topics include:

  • Strategic priorities

  • Expansions into new businesses, products or markets

  • Proposed digital transformation and IT investments

  • Major new contracts with customers or suppliers

Why is management intent useful?

Understanding what senior executives at your customers are thinking can be invaluable in enterprise sales.

For example, if you are able to align your solutions to the company's strategic priorities, it can make a complex sale go much more smoothly, with increased buy-in from decision-makers.

How does it work?

Databook indexes millions of pages of publicly available company information, with a focus on the most valuable documents, such as investor relations presentations, earnings call transcripts and key company filings.
