Use ExecAtlas to identify warm paths into key executives and drive attendance at your high-impact events.

Use ExecAtlas to surface executive invites when:

  • You’re planning a VIP dinner, executive forum, or customer advisory board

  • You want to increase registration among senior leaders at key accounts

  • You want to add peer credibility or warm outreach paths to your invite strategy

  • C-level and VP+ leaders at priority accounts

  • Executive personas aligned to the event’s content (e.g. CIOs for digital transformation sessions)

  • Relevant connections from internal leaders, clients, or partners who can serve as peer anchors

Boost event attendance and engagement by routing invites through warm introductions from people your target executives actually know and trust.

Step-by-Step Field Marketing Execution

1

Build a “Target Executive List” in ExecAtlas

  • Upload CRM contacts, top accounts, or ABM lists.

  • If looking to expand target list, use Power Intro or advanced person search to identify additional ICPs

2

Map Connection Paths for Peer Invites

  • Using Power Intro, map “who-knows-who” to uncover shared board seats, leadership overlaps, or internal relationships.

  • Flag ideal peer connectors (e.g. customer execs, internal SVPs, board members).

3

Route the Invite Through a Warm Path

  • Equip your peer connector with tailored messaging (see below).

  • Track delivery, acceptance, and follow-up needs.

4

Monitor Engagement & Fill Gaps

  • Use ExecAtlas to refresh your list with newly appointed executives, recent transitions, or net-new high-fit profiles.

  • Repeat the warm intro workflow above to boost attendance from underrepresented accounts or functions.

Messaging Tips & Invite Framework

Use Warm Peer Context

“Thought this would be relevant given your new role. [Colleague/Board Member] mentioned it might be up your alley.”

Anchor to Strategic Relevance

“We’re convening a few CFOs on this topic and wanted to ensure you had the invite.”

Name-Drop Shared Connections

“[Name] from [Company] will be there, and it looks like you worked together on [Board/Project].”

Avoid Salesy Language

Don’t say: “Join us for a demo of…”

Do say: “We’re curating a group of leaders shaping [Theme], and your perspective would be valued.”

Sample Salesforce-Integrated Workflow

Step 1: Import & Enrich Your Target List

  • Upload your prospective invitee list into Salesforce as a campaign or lead view

  • Use the ExecAtlas Salesforce integration to enrich contacts with verified titles, companies, and executive roles

  • Tag high-priority contacts with custom fields such as “Event Tier 1” or “Key Executive Target” to segment for personal outreach

Step 2: Identify Warm Introduction Paths

  • Use the ExecAtlas “Connections” tab to surface real-world relationships (e.g. shared boards, past companies)

  • Auto-tag contacts in Salesforce with a custom field like “Warm Intro Possible = TRUE” based on mapped relationship scores

  • Assign an internal contact or executive sponsor to each high-value invitee via the “Warm Intro Source” custom field

Step 3: Trigger Peer Outreach Workflows

  • Create a Salesforce Flow to notify assigned internal contacts (e.g. AE, CSM, CMO) when they’ve been tagged as a warm introducer

  • Provide templated outreach copy tied to event theme and peer relevance (e.g. “Thought this would be relevant given your shared board work with X”)

  • Track outreach status via custom fields: “Intro Invite Sent,” “RSVP Confirmed,” “Follow-Up Needed”

Step 4: Track Results and Optimize

  • Use standard Campaign Member Status to track RSVP response, event attendance, and engagement post-event

  • Segment reporting by intro type (Peer-Sourced vs Direct Marketing) to analyze lift in RSVP rate

  • Add dashboards for executive-level invite coverage, warm intro conversion rate, and account influence score

KPIs to Consider:

  • % of C-level targets with a warm intro path

  • Invite-to-RSVP rate on peer-sourced invites

  • Executive attendance rate by account tier

  • Post-event opportunity creation influenced by attendee list
