What is account intelligence and how do I set it up?

Learn how to set up account intelligence in Firmable to see personalised insights about companies to help you supercharge your prospecting and quickly research any account.

Gather, structure and act on insights about target companies. Account intelligence automates manual research so you can focus on higher-value activities, like engaging the right stakeholders and refining your approach.

Insights are AI-powered and grouped into three core categories:

  • Company background: e.g. industry, size, products and services, key competitors.

  • Real-time updates: e.g. financial reports, product launches, executive changes, legal events.

  • Personalised context: e.g. aligning value propositions, identifying pitch angles, addressing common objections.

Firmable provides a standard set of questions to guide the insights. These are global by default, but Admins, Managers and Partners can customise them to match your go-to-market strategy.
