Your CRM knows more about your buyers than your personas do | MarTech
"Meanwhile, their customer success manager had a Slack channel packed with verbatim quotes from customers explaining exactly why they bought. Their CRM had deal notes where reps had typed the same three objections, word-for-word, for two years. Their product team had onboarding drop-off data showing precisely where the messaging fell apart after the sale. Yet, nobody in marketing had looked at any of it."
"This isn't a story about one team. It's most teams. We talk about data-driven marketing like it's a discipline problem, like we only need better dashboards or a fancier CDP. Marketing teams aren't starving for data. They're drowning in it and using almost none of it. The insights you need to write sharper copy, nail your positioning and create content that actually converts? They're already inside your organization. Here's how to start using them."
Many marketing teams build messaging frameworks without leveraging internal customer data held across functions. Customer success Slack channels, CRM deal notes, and product onboarding analytics contain verbatim buyer language, recurring objections, and precise drop-off points. Support tickets and help-desk logs reveal confusing features and workflow gaps. Sales call recordings surface actual phrases buyers use to describe pain. NPS and CSAT free-text responses often hide the clearest value propositions. Organizations can improve copy, positioning, and conversion by mining these existing sources and aligning marketing work with sales, support, and product evidence.
