How freelance.de uses Visitor Intelligence to optimize its sales processes
Germany’s largest freelancer platform uses Webmetic’s Visitor Intelligence to identify companies with project demand and expand existing customer relationships through data-driven insights for proactive sales.

How Visitor Intelligence strengthens sales at freelance.de
From anonymous visitors to active
project clients through intelligent identification
1. Identify companies automatically
Both new visitors and existing customers are identified in real time, with complete company profiles and contact details for targeted outreach.
2. Detect project demand
Which freelancer categories are being searched? Repeat visits signal specific demand. For existing customers, they reveal interest in new project areas.
3. Engage customers proactively
Sales can approach new companies directly. Account managers see expansion opportunities among existing customers, with perfect timing for relevant offers.
"With more than 500 relevant leads every month, we can target companies with a specific need for freelancers. Our sales team now reaches customers at the perfect moment – while they are actively searching for freelancers. That has simplified our project acquisition."
