Inside the nine-person SDR team that turned website visitors into a meeting engine and six-figure pipeline, often within minutes of the visit.
The win that changed how the team looked at website intent came from an existing Baseten customer. The account had not been engaging recently, and the team did not believe there were additional workloads there. No open conversations. No obvious signals.
Then a buyer from that account appeared in the Knock2 feed after visiting a specific model page on Baseten's website.
Baseten is mission-critical infrastructure. If Baseten goes down, its customers' apps go down. Emily, who leads sales development across SF and New York, describes the team's approach as surrounding the customer from all angles, and their market moves faster than almost any other in technology.
Before Knock2, staying on top of who was in market was a manual grind: prospecting by hand, digging through job ads to sense out the right person, and monitoring news feeds. The signals were valuable, but keeping up with the need of the feed could not scale with the market.
Knock2 came in as a referral from one of Baseten's own AEs while Emily was mapping out what intent could look like for the team. First-party website intent was the priority: in her words, the lowest hanging fruit in terms of who is interested and who the team can jump on most immediately.
The evaluation came down to a few requirements:
Baseten runs a dedicated #website-visitors Slack channel fed entirely by Knock2. A filter surfaces only leads scoring above 50 on the ICP model Baseten built in partnership with Knock2, each arriving with name, title, and LinkedIn profile.
Owned accounts get the rep tagged directly in the thread. Unowned accounts fire off to SDRs to chase. Reps jump on high-fit leads with a cold call, often opening with what the visitor was just researching in the LLM world.
Website intent ties back to accounts and opportunities, so sales leadership and RevOps can track how intent influences pipeline creation and expansion, and prove ROI to finance.
Marketing consumes Knock2 data through BI tooling to see which launches and campaigns drive real buyer engagement, not just traffic, aligning marketing and sales around shared signals.
Slack alerts drive the daily motion, but Knock2 also runs underneath Baseten's CRM as a data layer. Using Knock2's custom field mapping, Baseten maps intent and identity data directly onto custom fields in Salesforce, so every account and contact is consistently enriched, not just the ones a rep happens to chase.
The result is a CRM where intent is a first-class field: reps see what an account has been researching without leaving Salesforce, and RevOps can attribute meetings and revenue back to website activity. Jonas Taylor, Baseten's Head of RevOps, led the mapping and enrichment build-out with Knock2.
The same data flows well beyond the CRM. Baseten's data and BI team integrates Knock2 data into their data warehouse, joining website intent with product and revenue data for reporting across the business.
The data and BI team pipes Knock2 data into the warehouse, powering dashboards that connect website intent to campaigns, pipeline, and revenue across sales and demand gen.
Baseten's marketing and demand gen leaders use Knock2's MCP integration to analyze intent data in real time, asking questions in natural language through AI instead of waiting on dashboards.
When Baseten's funding announcement and product releases drove a spike in website traffic, the team doubled down on the Knock2 feed and booked six meetings in two weeks from those visits. Since then, Knock2 leads have become a consistent source of booked meetings week after week, alongside the $100K+ expansion opportunity.
The channel has also become a culture engine. Wins get shared publicly, reps hype each other up on meetings booked from Knock2 leads, and SDRs double down on the feed because they see it converting. It has drawn eyes from across the company.
Time to value was almost immediate. The Knock2 team helped build Baseten's ICP and did much of the heavy lifting on setup. Actionable data was visible within days, and within one week the team was finding valuable data, with the only slowdown being Baseten's own Slack configuration.
"The proof's in the pudding. Test it out with your data, see what you can get, and evaluate from there. I really enjoyed mapping out ROI and tracking the meetings that have come through. That helps prove to my RevOps team and my head of finance that this tool is worth investing in, because we're seeing the output."
If you're investing in marketing, launches, and ads to drive traffic, website intent is your lowest hanging fruit. See who's visiting and act while it matters.
