STATE OF ACCOUNT-BASED SALES DEVELOPMENT REPORT

October 17, 2017

That’s why we think Account Based Marketing (ABM) is too limited a name, and it’s why instead we use the term Account Based Sales Development (ABSD). It’s not a one-off tactic, it’s not a single-department strategy, and it’s not a technology category. Account Based Sales Development is a business strategy that must be embraced by the entire organization.  If you want to find big returns on your ABSD efforts, you must embrace this mindset. It’s a way of running your revenue team like a machine. The focus moves from leads to accounts. The silos break down. Your team rallies around the customer.
