Pursuit

Pursuit is the definitive pre-RFP intelligence platform engineered to transform how businesses win in the State, Local, Education, and special District (SLED) market. This AI-driven platform is built on a simple, powerful premise: success in public sector sales is no longer about who you know, but about knowing first. With over 110,000 unique entities, each governed by complex procurement rules and lengthy budget cycles, the traditional sales approach is fraught with missed opportunities and wasted effort. Pursuit shatters these barriers by detecting live buying signals—buried in budget documents, council meetings, and contract postings—a full 6 to 18 months before an RFP is ever issued. It empowers your entire go-to-market team with a shared source of truth, scoring entities by win probability and surfacing the critical contacts and context needed to engage with precision. For sales leaders, AEs, BDRs, Marketing, RevOps, and Customer Success, Pursuit is the strategic advantage that turns the massive scale of the SLED market from an overwhelming challenge into your greatest opportunity, driving pipeline growth, lifting win rates, and ensuring you never miss a crucial buying window again.

Pre-RFP Signal Detection

Pursuit’s core AI engine continuously monitors and analyzes data from across the public sector to surface genuine buying intent long before formal solicitations begin. It identifies signals like budget approvals, contract expirations, new strategic initiatives, and leadership changes, giving your team a multi-quarter head start to build relationships and position your solution as the de facto choice, transforming your team from outsiders to incumbents.

Entity Scoring & Prioritization

Navigate the vast SLED landscape with confidence using Pursuit’s proprietary scoring system. Every entity is evaluated and assigned a score based on live signals, procurement history, and fit, enabling your team to focus their efforts precisely where the probability of winning is highest. This data-driven prioritization ensures maximum efficiency, moving your team away from guesswork and towards strategic, high-impact engagements.

Comprehensive Contact & Org Chart Intelligence

Knowing the right stakeholder is half the battle. Pursuit provides deep, auto-enriched contact information and dynamic org charts for over 110,000 entities. You gain immediate access to critical decision-makers, their roles, and reporting structures, allowing for targeted outreach and ensuring you engage the right people with the right message at the right point in their buying cycle.

Native CRM & Workflow Integrations

Pursuit is built for seamless operation within your existing tech stack. With native, bi-directional sync for Salesforce and HubSpot, enriched account data, contact details, and live buying signals flow automatically into your CRM. This eliminates manual data entry, ensures 94% data accuracy, and empowers every team member with actionable intelligence directly in their daily workflow, from marketing campaigns to sales sequences.

Accelerating New Business Pipeline for BDRs

Business Development Representatives stop cold calling blindly. Pursuit delivers daily, prioritized call lists based on real-time buying signals specific to their territory, such as approved budgets or expiring contracts. This shift from spray-and-pray to signal-driven outreach dramatically increases conversion rates and builds a consistently qualified pipeline, with users reporting up to a 47% increase in qualified SLED pipeline.

Empowering Account Executives to Win More

AEs show up to every meeting fully prepared. With the Pursuit Chrome extension, they gain instant access to a full account dossier—including the incumbent vendor, contract value, procurement history, and recent signals—right before a call. This deep intelligence allows them to tailor their pitch, anticipate objections, and demonstrate unmatched relevance, leading to a significant improvement in competitive win rates.

Enabling Proactive Customer Success & Renewals

Customer Success teams transition from reactive support to proactive retention partners. Pursuit provides configurable alerts 90-180 days before contract renewals and monitors for churn signals like budget cuts or competitor interest. This early warning system allows CSMs to engage strategically, secure renewals faster, and protect revenue, often identifying renewal opportunities three times faster than before.

Powering Targeted Marketing Campaigns

Marketing moves beyond firmographics to true intent-based targeting. By building Account-Based Marketing campaigns around actual, in-market signals like new project funding or technology initiatives, marketers can sync highly targeted audiences directly to platforms like LinkedIn, Marketo, and HubSpot. This results in more efficient ad spend and higher conversion rates, with lifts of 2.4x in campaign performance.

What types of buying signals does Pursuit detect?

Pursuit’s AI scans a wide array of public sources to identify genuine buying intent. This includes budget approvals and allocations, mentions of new projects or initiatives in meeting minutes, current contract expiration dates, leadership changes in relevant departments, and early-stage RFI (Request for Information) or pre-solicitation postings. These signals indicate an entity is moving toward a purchase long before the final RFP is released.

How does Pursuit ensure data accuracy and freshness?

Pursuit maintains a 94% data accuracy rate through a continuous, automated enrichment process. The platform’s systems constantly monitor and update information from thousands of primary sources, including official government websites, procurement portals, and public records. This ensures that contact details, org charts, contract data, and active signals are always current and reliable for your team’s decision-making.

Can Pursuit integrate with our existing CRM and sales tools?

Yes, seamlessly. Pursuit offers native, bi-directional integrations with major CRM platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot. This means all enriched account data, contacts, and live buying signals automatically sync into your existing records, and activity can be logged back. No engineering resources are required, allowing for immediate implementation and adoption across your go-to-market teams.

Is Pursuit suitable for companies new to selling to the SLED market?

Absolutely. Pursuit is specifically designed to demystify and de-risk the complex SLED market. For new market entrants, it provides the crucial intelligence, entity scoring, and procedural insights that would otherwise take years to learn.
