Speak to the benefits of ABM
Increased Account Engagement
Shorter Sales Cycles
Higher ASP
Increased Lifetime Customer Value
Alignment = Not a Sales initiative; Not a Marketing Initiative; It’s a Company Initiative
Must get buy-in at all levels, departments
Because everyone will be needed in order for it to be successful
Because lead volume will be impacted
No universal answer here. Must determine for your organization.
It’s worth TRYING
BUT must have clear objectives in mind, easy way to determine did it work or not
Experiment and test, but have at least a baseline to compare it with
We looked at who the actual buyers were of closed-won deals. Their roles. Ended up with 5 target personas.
Stats around database changes
Impacts deliverability, response rates, meetings set, etc.
Data fuels all prospecting efforts
Start with generating awareness
Then leverage engagement and buying signals to prioritize additional outreach
Develop plan for personalization at scale
Test and then test again to see lift for the extra layer OR provide templates for SDRs to manage as they learn more about a specific account.
Follow your target accounts throughout the Funnel to determine impact
Suggest timestamp as they change statuses to track velocity
We look at overall engagement score, average per engaged contact, % of contacts at account that are engaged, positive change in last 7 days
