“It’s about people, not accounts. People buy from people they trust. Treating accounts as monolithic institutions is very simplistic and adds insult to injury. Building emotional connections is the most critical yet most overlooked part of B2B sales and marketing,” says xiQ’s Founder and CEO Usman Sheikh. “xiQ’s unique ability to predict individual behavioral traits provides an unprecedented opportunity to connect with buyers and prospects in a highly personal manner.”

Marketers and sellers need to speak in the vernacular of their prospects, understand what drives their interests and cultivate that emotional appeal to achieve successful results. Addressing an audience of one, in a scalable way, has not been possible till now. xiQ leverages AI to interpret publicly available digital footprints of individuals and develops a predictive DISC personality profile within seconds. The ability to predict the personality type of each prospect creates a whole new set of unprecedented personalization opportunities.
