Pratt Industries Turned B2B Prospecting into Million-Dollar Wins with ZoomInfo
The recycled packaging manufacturer paired its door-knocking sales tradition with verified contact data and buying signals to reach decision-makers directly.
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that Pratt Industries, the world's largest privately owned manufacturer of 100% recycled paper packaging, has closed deals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over 10 months and several million dollars a year after modernizing how its field sales team prospects, according to the company.
Pratt is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise built over some 30 years, with a nationwide network of recycling facilities, paper mills, and manufacturing plants. Its growth runs on field sales reps who knock on doors and build long-term relationships. But the data behind that field work was the weak link. Pratt relied on another data provider that was never updated, where the numbers didn't work and the emails always bounced back.
In manufacturing, bad data is more expensive than most. Many packaging decision-makers are less active on social media, so a dead phone number quickly becomes a dead end. A rep's way into an account was often a receptionist or someone stocking racks in the warehouse, and working up from there to the person who could actually say yes could take years.
