Used together

Companies using both SalesWings and 6sense

Most teams don’t have to choose. Here’s how B2B marketing teams benefit when using both platforms together.

The main thing 6sense does that SalesWings doesn’t

If a company is researching your category across the web before they’ve ever visited your site, 6sense catches that signal and uses it for programmatic ads.

SalesWings doesn’t as of May 2026.

If that’s your primary need, 6sense is the right tool.

But most teams don’t have to choose.

Companies which use both SalesWings and 6sense

A global video platform

Uses SalesWings to connect known website visitors to Salesforce leads, contacts and accounts — while 6sense focuses on 3rd party intent of accounts.

SalesWings becomes the connective tissue between the person and the account level insights.

A major enterprise software company

Uses 6sense for account intent and SalesWings for lead and account scoring.

When both signals fire, the account shows intent and the individual engages on-site.

That lead goes straight to sales.

One signal alone isn’t always enough, depending on your company’s goals and needs.

Why it matters

First-party signals are the stronger buying indicator

Third-party intent data tells you someone at a company read an article about your category

That’s useful. But it’s still:

• Anonymous, and works mostly with large accounts

• Aggregated

• Shared with every competitor buying the same feed

First-party signals are different.

When someone:

• Repeatedly visits your pricing page

• Watches multiple demo videos

• Downloads or clicks on PDFs

• Clicks through three emails

• Visits from ChatGPT or Claude

That’s not category interest. It’s first-party buying intent directed specifically at you.

And only you can see it.

The difference

1 An account showing third-party intent is worth knowing about

2 An individual from that account actively engaging with your content is worth calling today

SalesWings lets you track leads and buying committees to see what they’ve been looking at and when they’re ready to buy.

Need intent data without the full 6sense investment?

Providers like Bombora sell third-party intent data independently.

You can:

1 Buy intent data from Bombora (or similar providers)

2 Feed it into Salesforce

3 Layer SalesWings first-party behavioural data on top

Result:

• A richer combined picture

• Less financial commitment

• Less technical debt

Where SalesWings leads

What SalesWings does that 6sense doesn’t

Capability	SalesWings advantage
Works where you already work	6sense is a platform you add to your stack. SalesWings is built into it. • “Integration first”; data augments existing processes in your stack • Purpose-built Salesforce integrations • Great in combination with Marketing Cloud • Further purpose-built integrations such as Braze, Iterable and Segment In ways 6sense simply isn’t.
Scores everything, not just accounts	6sense thinks in accounts. SalesWings scores: • Leads • Contacts • Accounts • Opportunities A complete picture at every level of the funnel.
Tells sales why, not just who	Track each prospect’s journey across: A score tells your rep a lead or account is hot. Identifying real intent and sharing across teams tells you what they actually care about That’s the difference between a number in a CRM and understanding a buyer fully
Full marketing attribution	See which campaigns drive pipeline. Track each prospect’s journey across: • Channels • Campaigns • Medium • Web • Content Reported natively inside Salesforce.
Generates leads as well as qualifies	Behavioural popups triggered by first-party intent data: Served to the right person, at the right moment, on your site Leverage the same intelligence layer to generate and qualify leads.
AI that helps sales act, not just know	Next best action suggestions surfaced directly inside Salesforce. Reps don’t need to interpret the data or leave Salesforce to go to ChatGPT. They get a clear steer on what to do next with the SalesWings AI Assistant.
B2B precision inside B2C platforms	Running Marketing Cloud, Braze or Iterable for scale but losing the B2B logic you need? SalesWings fills that gap: • Best-in-breed lead and account scoring • Behavioural intelligence • Sales and marketing alignment Without replacing the tools your team already uses.
