What is the RealZips app?

The app automatically structures existing CRM data by zip codes, cities, metropolitan areas, counties, sales regions, sales territories and more. The benefits are immediate since your team can search and report customer data in new ways – focusing activities in geographical areas that will generate most sales.

How does the RealZips app work?

RealZips is the world’s only GeoData Platform. This is the quick-take:

  • 40,000 zip codes are added to your Salesforce in 15 minutes.
  • Zip codes have 50 data points, for geographic structure and market data.
  • Existing CRM data records are automatically linked to a zip code.
  • Sales territories are based on zip codes, linking all CRM data to sales territories.

What are the steps to get started?

RealZips enables organizations like yours to identify growth opportunities and drive sales results. These are the seven steps organizations take while rolling out the RealZips app:

1. Identify Addressable Market

The RealZips app has very deep market data by zip code, enabling your team to pinpoint the total addressable market. The app describes for example corporate targets across 1,000 industries and ranges of employees, including headquarter locations. The demographics data is incredibly deep, ranging across income, age, and lifestyles.

In RealZips, it’s now possible for organizations to distinguish their total addressable market by their primary market and secondary market.

For example, the primary market for your team might be neurosurgeons, while the secondary market would be patients served by these doctors.

Secondary market data is one of the most powerful ways for sales teams to drive trust in discussions with their prospects.

For example, a rep can showcase the RealZips demographics data for the area surrounding the customer’s office.

2. Set Geographic Structure

The RealZips app structures CRM data dynamically across all geographical level. Your team can instantly use e.g. metropolitan areas and counties, to drive successful marketing and sales activities. New geographic levels can be added on the fly, to include areas for specific marketing campaigns!

With a geographic structure in place, existing CRM data is dramatically enhanced and becomes actionable for both marketing and sales teams. With drive time data in RealZips, a lead can be automatically assigned to the closest sales representative or location. Also, drive time data can be used for marketing campaigns based on all customers’ proximity to your sales representatives or locations.

3. Index Market Potential

Many companies miss out on tremendous growth opportunity – simply by not relating each geographic area, to the local market potential – right in Salesforce.

Without market potential in Salesforce, there is no method to track revenue growth against the total addressable market, optimize territories based and prospects, and empower the sales team across territories.

Marketing teams running campaigns without geographic market potential will not be able to target the best-fit areas, missing out on lead generation and revenue growth.

The RealZips app creates automatic indexes for each zip code. Your team will be able to act on each area’s’ market potential and real-time revenue data.

4. Implement Territory Management

The Territory Management module in RealZips effectively combines each territory’s zip codes, market potential and existing leads, accounts and contacts.

Key metrics for each territory roll up from zip codes, giving the sales team a real-time view over where to find and close deals.

A RealZips Territory can quickly be divided into zones based on drive time for the sales representative.

Sales hotspots can be created on the fly within territories, to manage revenue growth in areas with highest market potential.

As territories are changed – customers can quickly and accurately be reassigned to a new territory – complete with a track record of changes.

5. Focus Marketing Activities

It’s a marketers dream to have all leads and customers organized by MSA Metropolitans, cities, CBSAs, counties, sales territories, and regions. The marketing team can run campaigns in zip codes that can be targeted with Google AdWords campaigns, within a 20-minute drive time of the closest representative or location!

Campaigns can be geared towards areas with the high market potential and no current customers. Events can be launched in the exact areas where most leads and customers can quickly travel to.

6. Empower Sales Teams

Most sales teams struggle to build a pipeline of new customers, and closing deals. The RealZips app is simply designed to empower salespeople to be at the right place, taking to the right customers, at the right time.

RealZips cuts down on the search for new customers, allowing the whole organization to focus on areas with most prospects, as close to as possible to your company’s locations.
