2. Working group to decide on the strategy.
Ø Ask each team to bring data to support strategic
decision making
Ø Foster environment of discussion, rather than one
team just telling the other what the plans are
Ø Vote on strategy

Did ABM work?
Yes! But we need to effectively scale….
• Avg deal size grew by more than 4x for target accounts
• Close rates were about the same
• Volume of opportunities will be too low to hit 2018 growth targets

Do better:
• Address TAM & ICP realistically. Model Target/Non-target mix based on TAM and
build waterfall model based on this data.
• Measure CAC – we need a profitable new logo machine, and must map back an
appropriate cost of acquisition based on LTV ratio
