In this eBook we will address the evolution of the B2B purchase journey and discuss the fundamentals of starting a successful ABM program in our “Ready-Set-Go” framework. B2B sales and marketing is constantly evolving and adapting to new advances in technology, and following traditional lead generation in the information age is no longer the most efficient approach to generating pipeline. ABM prioritizes quality over quantity, so sales and marketing can allocate more resources and time on high-fit, high-intent target accounts. When buyers show interest in your product early in the purchase journey, account-based technology can put these signals right at the fingertips of your marketing and sales organizations.

We found that 78% of large B2B marketing organizations (those with more than 1000 employees) experienced growth of 10% or more in 2022. After two years of marketing during a pandemic, many B2B brands found their footing in 2022 with a heavier reliance on digital channels and renewed spending from clients ready to move forward.

Conceived in the early 2000s as a way to bring marketing and sales organizations together around a teambased approach to nurturing their most important accounts, ABM is now used by 70% of marketers, up from just 15% a year ago, according to HubSpot. Technology marketers have taken a particular interest in ABM, given the complex factors that influence IT purchases. Foundry’s second global survey of 500 B2B technology marketers found that satisfaction with ABM continues to be high, particularly at the largest companies. While most organizations are still early in their adoption journey, the results to date indicate that ABM is on track to not only become a mainstream marketing discipline but even displace more traditional methods.
