Account Based Intelligence

If you are like most companies, your goal is to communicate with leads at a personal level. But you probably find that it’s nearly impossible to make that happen. It requires more information than your marketing and sales organizations have. Why is that? Most inbound marketing efforts follow the same formula—they ask prospects to enter their email address in exchange for an e-newsletter, white paper, or other piece of content. And that’s where it ends. You’ve got a list of email addresses, but you may not know the person’s title or phone number. There’s no way that you have insight into where they fit in their organization and you have no idea when people on your list move to a different position in the company or to an entirely different firm.

The Marketer’s Roadmap To Mature Omnichannel Account-Based Experiences

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

Responsive buyer experiences and relevant content across channels have always been the top criteria for mature, highperforming, omnichannel account-based orchestrations. But much of today’s conversation revolves around linear, top-down campaigns, where the target account is placed in a marketing or sales play, operating within a siloed platform throughout the buyer’s journey. The result is often antithetical to the desired buyer “experience.” Operating without the necessary data management, intent, prediction, and consistent personalization, these platforms cannot deliver high-performing orchestration simply by slapping a new name on the same old ABM technology. In a rush to accelerate the delivery of “account-based experiences” (ABX), the platforms that support it have become a critical bottleneck, creating yet another siloed system that adds to the complexity and undermines the outcomes it is intended to improve.
