Manual research was time-consuming, difficult to scale, and often resulted in outdated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how the company automated principal discovery and expanded SDR account coverage at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Snapshot\"><\/span>Company Snapshot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Company Snapshot<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Industry<\/td><td>EdTech SaaS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Company Size<\/td><td>$25M+ ARR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Use Case<\/td><td>Principal Discovery &amp; Account Coverage Expansion<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Challenge<\/td><td>Tracking School Leadership Changes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Data Sources<\/td><td>Proprietary Education Data, Web &amp; AI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CRM<\/td><td>Salesforce<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Outcome<\/td><td>Doubled SDR Account Coverage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Challenge_Principal_Data_Changes_Constantly\"><\/span>The Challenge: Principal Data Changes Constantly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company&#8217;s outbound team relied on identifying and engaging school principals. However, principal data quickly became outdated as administrators moved between schools and districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many principals were inactive on LinkedIn, making traditional prospecting methods ineffective.
