In the midst of the growing level of data sources and external competition, one of the greatest threats to your success is internal. Mistrust, miscommunication, and misinformation between sales, marketing, and customer success can cause frustration, turnover, lost deals, and missed growth opportunities. Marketing doesn’t trust that sales reps are reaching out to the right accounts, while Sales feels overwhelmed by a never-ending list of what seem like low quality leads.

The information you need to target your ideal accounts efficiently is scattered across your systems and processes (or just plain hidden, such as buyer intent). As a result of the broken and incomplete data, your sales and marketing teams have account blindness. They have no choice but to make hunch-based decisions. It doesn’t matter how much training you’ve put them through. They will end up spamming prospects (and maybe even existing clients) because they don’t have the intelligence-based insights to guide them.

According to Christian Weiss, director ABM EMEA at Autodesk, Germany languishes behind English-speaking countries when it comes to account-based maturity, often due to their reluctance to be the first to try something new. “Germans aren’t always keen on trying and testing from scratch and have a tendency to overthink,” he says. “While other cultures might try new approaches and technologies and fail, at least they’ve tried it. And this is a huge aspect of making account-based principles work. It requires deep change across culture, people and technology – and this isn’t always a good fit for people who are hesitant to embrace change, which isn’t traditionally part of a German’s DNA.”
