What does the Dark Funnel enable teams to do with an account's research activities?

• A. See an account's research activities and weigh their significance based on persona, recency, and frequency
• B. Increase discount offers
• C. Replace CRM with automation
• D. Predict exact deal closure dates

Answer: (A)

The Dark Funnel is about surfacing account-level research that isn’t captured by standard analytics. It lets teams see what an account is researching and judge how important that activity is by looking at who within the account is researching (persona), how recently they engaged (recency), and how often they’ve shown interest (frequency). This helps prioritize accounts and tailor outreach based on real intent signals, even when those signals aren’t directly tracked in your CRM. It isn’t about offering bigger discounts, replacing CRM with automation, or predicting exact deal dates, so those options don’t fit the purpose of the Dark Funnel.
