Account-Based Marketing GUIDE FOR MODERN MARKETERS

If you’re reading this guide, you’re probably a B2B marketer. If so, you probably spend a lot of your time coming up with new ways to reach the right prospect, at the right time, with the right message. Which means you’re one of a million B2B marketers trying to do exactly the same thing. Welcome to the club! To make it worse, nearly everyone who sells solutions to B2B marketers like us will promise they can help you reach the right prospect at the right time with the right message. Not too long ago, you could buy lists from ads in the back of inflight magazines that made the same promise. Now those promises come from marketing technology vendors, as well as bloggers and authors and consultants putting their own spin on marketing strategies, both proven and unproven. Account-based marketing (ABM) is the latest strategy those folks are trying to sell you. But with ABM, there’s one key difference: ABM isn’t a new, unproven idea; it’s a new way of combining proven fundamentals to help B2B marketers (you guessed it) reach the right prospect, at the right time, with the right message. Only this time, it really works.
