Marketers who have tried four or more data providers, in fact, tend to be happier, with 80% of those respondents indicating they are "very satisfied" with their current data providers. OpenRise suggests that this indicates the more data providers marketers work with, the more likely they will find the right fit.  The OpenRise report goes into some detail on the the challenges that B2B marketing and sales teams face regarding their use of external data and their relationship with third-party data providers. Additional highlights from teh report include:  + 56% of the marketers surveyed said they're "very satisfied" with their current data providers, while another 38% reported being "somewhat satisfied."   + While 67% of marketers at small companies are very satisfied with their data providers, only 31% of their counterparts at large enterprises agree.    + B2B marketers' primary use of third-party data is to identify contacts within target companies (62%), followed by identifying new target companies (52%). "It makes sense that most companies are satisfied with the quality of the data they're seeing from reputable data providers," said Allen Pogorzelski, VP of Marketing at Openprise.  "The data issues most companies are struggling with are in normalizing and integrating that data from different vendors into their house databases to make it useful." ![openrise-dataproviders](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/openrise-dataproviders-1-1-1.jpg "openrise-dataproviders") ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/analytics/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [Making the Most of Analytics Tools ![Making the Most of Analytics Tools](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/analytics8b32f78ec5e163acbc5dff0000ff1aaa-Jan-22-2023-11-43-59-4781-PM-1-1-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/analytics/making-the-most-of-analytics-tools) ### [How Does Cohort Analysis Work? ![How Does Cohort Analysis Work?](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gradient-regular-logo-mark-Jan-22-2023-11-45-29-3400-PM-Apr-10-2023-12-59-27-1530-PM-Apr-25-2023-02-55-59-4839-AM-May-01-2023-08-15-22-9173-PM.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/analytics/how-does-cohort-analysis-work) ### [On Cohorts & Direct Audience Optimization ![On Cohorts & Direct Audience Optimization](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/audience-optimization-4-1-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/analytics/on-cohorts-direct-audience-optimization) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
