Enterprises that embrace the complexity of the modern marketplace know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to operationalizing their go-to-market (GTM) processes — from attracting and converting leads to managing best practices throughout the sales process. While revenue operations leaders work hard to perfect these processes, siloed systems, scattered data, and missed opportunities often keep frontline sellers from activating timely, relevant buyer signals.

According to a recent Semarchy report, 98% of organizations have experienced data quality issues that are affecting AI adoption, with respondents stating that data concerns are leading to “decreased trust in AI outputs, project delays, and increased costs.”

Every business has data, but this data is only as valuable as the story hiding within it. With information spread out across multiple systems, disconnected workflows, no real intelligence to make sense of available signals, businesses waste an important opportunity to create value for their teams. Which is why having the right data orchestration solution is essential.

That’s where Workato + Salesloft come in.

Together, Workato and Salesloft help you find and activate those critical buyer signals hidden in your data. Imagine your sellers always knowing the perfect moment a prospect is ready to talk, when a customer is primed for growth, or when a key relationship needs a bit of nurturing.

With powerful automation, integration, and AI capabilities, turn fragmented data into sales-ready insight, so engaging the right buyers, at the right time, with the right message feels effortless.

What is data orchestration?

Data Orchestration is the automated management and coordination of data workflows across various systems and platforms. It plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient data processing, integration, and transformation, particularly in complex environments involving multiple data sources and destinations.

Activate the right signals, at the right time

Here’s how: A custom signal defined in Workato will trigger an AI-powered workflow in Salesloft. AI agents will instantaneously and automatically research the account, identify potential leads, and draft personalized, compelling emails. After this crucial groundwork is laid, sellers will receive a notification that it’s time to activate a signal-driven Salesloft play. This sets sellers up for seamless engagement with the customers.
