How to Identify and Reach B2B Decision Makers the Easy Way

Quick Summary

This guide shows you how to identify and reach B2B decision makers using RB2B's visitor intelligence platform. You'll learn how to spot the right people visiting your website, build complete prospect profiles, and reach out with messages that actually get responses. 

Wondering How to Detect When a B2B Decision Maker is Visiting Your Website?

You’re pouring budget into outbound, your team’s running ads, maybe even producing some content. Traffic’s trickling in, but who’s actually on your site? Are the people browsing your high-intent pages the decision makers you need to close the deal, or just interns doing research? 

If you’re like most B2B revenue teams, you’re probably flying blind at this stage. And that means missed opportunities, slower pipelines, and reps chasing ghost leads.

In this RB2B article, we’re going to explain how to identify when a B2B decision maker is on your website, and how to turn that signal into timely, personalized outreach that drives pipeline.

But first…

Why Listen To Us

We built RB2B to solve one of the most costly problems in B2B sales: missing qualified leads. Our platform enables real-time visitor identification for hundreds of modern sales teams, helping them see who’s visiting, what they care about, and when to act.  The strategies in this guide are based on what’s actually working right now, across industries, funnels, and go-to-market motions.

Who are B2B Decision Makers?

B2B decision makers are the individuals within a company who have the authority to approve purchases, sign contracts, and move deals forward. Depending on the product or service, this could be a VP of Sales, a Head of Marketing, a CTO, or even a Procurement Manager. 

They're the ones holding the budget, making strategic calls, and deciding whether or not to move forward with your offer.

These roles vary by industry and company size, but they all have one thing in common: they’re the people your sales team needs to reach if you want to close deals.

Why Detecting B2B Decision Makers Matter

• Timing is everything: If you know a high-value prospect is browsing your pricing or demo page, your sales team can act right then, not weeks later. RB2B sends real-time alerts directly to your CRM or Slack so you never miss that moment.
• Avoid wasted outreach: Instead of guessing who to contact at a target account, you’ll know who’s already showing intent, down to their job title, LinkedIn profile, and email.
• Personalized engagement: Tailor your messaging to the actual person and their behavior, what pages they visited, and what solutions they’re exploring.
• Shorter sales cycles: Catching decision makers while they’re actively researching increases the odds of booking a meeting and moving faster through the funnel.
• Maximize marketing ROI: Knowing who your campaigns are attracting helps you double down on the channels and content that bring in the right people.

How to Use RB2B to Identify Decision Makers Visiting Your Website

We built RB2B to help sales teams turn anonymous website traffic into actionable sales signals by identifying real people, decision makers included, who visit your site in real-time. 

Here’s how to get started and make the most of the platform.

Step 1. Getting Started: RB2B Signup Process

To begin identifying decision makers, first set up your RB2B account. It only takes a minute.

How to Sign Up:

1. Visit rb2b.com and click "Start For Free”
2. Create your account using a valid business email
3. Start with a 7-day full-featured trial that includes LinkedIn profiles, company data, all integrations, and business email contacts
4. No credit card required to start

Step 2. Install the RB2B Tracking Script

Once your account is live, install your RB2B tracking script. This powers the real-time identification of site visitors.

Installation Steps:

1. In your RB2B dashboard, go to Script and click View Script

2. Copy the script by clicking on Copy Code

3. Paste the script into your website’s <head> section using one of the following methods:

• Google Tag Manager (recommended)
• Direct HTML insertion
• Platform-specific plugins (WordPress, Shopify, etc.)

How to Confirm if it's Working:

1. Use the “Test Script on Website” button in the RB2B Script section

2. RB2B typically starts identifying visitors within 10 -15 minutes
3. To verify, open your site in incognito mode, your listing should appear shortly in the dashboard

Step 3. Set Up Visitor Identification and Alerts

Once the tracking script is active, RB2B can start identifying individual visitors and alerting you when decision makers land on your site.

RB2B Dashboard Features:

• Hot Leads: Set Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) filters (e.g. job title, company size, industry) to automatically flag high-value visitors. 

• Hot Pages: Add the pages with the best intent signals to the hot page

• Traffic Insights: View trends in ICP-qualified traffic and behavioral patterns

• Live Visitor Feed: Monitor real-time visitor activity with enriched LinkedIn and company info

Optional Slack Integration:

• Go to the Integrations section and select Slack
• Create a dedicated Slack channel (e.g. #rb2b-visitors)
• Authorize RB2B to post updates in that channel
• Choose alert conditions (e.g. only send when a visitor has a LinkedIn profile or is part of a target company)

Notes: All identified visitor data is always viewable in the dashboard, regardless of Slack setup

What You'll See in Alerts:

• Full name, title, and LinkedIn profile
• Company name and industry
• Real-time page views and session activity
• Visitor behavior matched to your ICP filters

Step 4. Track High-Intent Visitor Behavior

Not all traffic is equal. RB2B helps you identify visitors who show buying intent through their on-site behavior.

Pages That Signal High Interest:

• Pricing
• Product demos or tours
• Case studies
• ROI tools or calculators
• Competitor comparison pages

Buying Signals to Watch:

• Multiple visits from the same individual
• Extended time spent on pricing or demo pages
• Downloading content (whitepapers, brochures)
• Viewing technical or integration documentation

Step 5. Build Detailed Visitor Profiles

RB2B doesn’t stop at company-level intelligence; it gives you person-level profiles to fuel hyper-targeted outreach.

What You’ll See on a Visitor Profile:

• Full name and job title
• Department and seniority level
• LinkedIn profile link
• Business email address (when available)
• Browsing history: pages viewed, and timestamps

How to Use This Data:

• Review their LinkedIn profile for recent posts, job changes, or common connections
• Research their company’s initiatives or funding news
• Assess how engaged they are based on repeat visits and high-intent actions
• Prioritize outreach to visitors from target accounts who meet your ICP

Step 6. Time Your Outreach with Precision

RB2B gives you the context you need to reach out at the right time when interest is highest and the lead is warm.

Trigger Scenarios for Outreach:

• A first-time visitor views your pricing page
• A known decision maker returns to the site within a few days
• Someone downloads gated content or watches a product video
• An ICP match browses multiple high-value pages in a single session

Best Practices For Decision-Maker Engagement

Once you've identified decision makers on your website, what you do next can make or break the deal. Here are five proven best practices to maximize your chances of turning that visit into revenue:

Act Fast, Within Minutes, Not Days

Timing is everything. Reach out while the visit is still fresh. Use RB2B’s real-time alerts to trigger Slack notifications or CRM workflows that prompt immediate follow-up from your reps.

Personalize Your Outreach Based on Behavior

Don’t send a generic email. Mention the exact page they viewed (e.g., pricing or integrations), and tie your message to their role, pain points, or industry. Show them you understand their context.

Use LinkedIn to Warm the Connection

Start with a LinkedIn connection request; 90% of B2B buyers accept if it’s relevant. Mention a mutual interest, or reference their recent site visit to make the interaction feel natural.

See our guide to LinkedIn B2B lead generation.

Build Omnichannel Sequences

Combine email, LinkedIn, and phone in short outreach sequences. Start light, then add value with each touchpoint, think helpful content, short case studies, or relevant ROI insights.

Prioritize ICP Matches Over Raw Volume

Not every visitor deserves the same level of attention. Focus your energy on visitors who match your Ideal Customer Profile. RB2B’s filters help you identify and engage the highest-value leads first.
