and sales teams
4. Personalized experiences that are of value to buyers

TOPO, “The Account-Based Marketing Framework” 2016
13. Your account-based readiness rests on four things
TARGET
ACCOUNTS
RESOURCES MEASUREMENTEXECUTION
Has your company defined
its ICP or TAL?
How did your company
create the list?
Are you confident in your
target account list?
Do you have dedicated people
or budget for account-based?
What percentage of your
budget is dedicated to
account based?
Do you have a dedicated
account-based leader?
Do you run coordinated sales
and marketing plays?
Who is involved in your
account-based programs (sales,
SDRs, operations, customer
success)?
What tactics and channels are
you using today? Which are you
looking to add?
What is the PRIMARY way
you’re measuring your
ABM program success?
14. Identifying Key Accounts
Sales Leadership or Individual
AE’s provide Marketing with
their top prospect accounts.
Pro: Fosters initial level of
alignment. Buy in from
Sales/Marketing.
Con: Not necessarily data-driven
Sales and marketing define
criteria of best accounts by
creating a shared definition of
your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
Pro: Rich with key criteria and
data attributions that both teams
agree on.
Con: Must rank which
characteristics have the highest
value, and consider how
accessible they are.
Utilizes predictive technology
and other data models to build
larger account lists.
Pro: Scalable solution to identify
additional target accounts
Con: Most solutions will require
custom definitions (Account level
versus Contact Level)

15. Making friends with Sales
Account based marketing is a team sport!
Important factors contributing to account based success involve collaboration:
1. Coordinated programs across marketing, sales development, and sales
2. Alignment between sales and marketing
Simple ways to get started:
● Marketing and Sales agree on Ideal Customer Profile
● Work to create a mutual “coordinated play” brief
● Brand your Target Account List (i.e. Rolling Thunder Accounts)
16. Start by creating a coordinated marketing and sales development program. The program will be built from the same
activities marketing and sales development already use, including account-targeted advertising, direct mail and SDR
outreach, but will be designed to run in a coordinated manner across both groups.
