Delivering on the Promise of Account-Based Marketing

Account-based marketing (ABM) is the first step toward sales and marketing alignment. It’s a set of principles that range from trying to engage large, named customers at a deeper level to pursuing new, high-value accounts that share similar size, industry or geographical characteristics with existing top-tier customers. But these strategies all share one thing in common; unlike traditional B2B marketing, they prioritize accounts, not simply individual job titles or job descriptions alone. Focusing on accounts results in higher-quality leads delivered to sales in more reasonable quantities that sales can actually manage, while also reaching more prospects on the buying team. So, sales win rates, marketing efficiencies and company revenues improve dramatically.

Since the beginning of B2B marketing as we know it, marketers have struggled with the question of how to get in front of the right prospects at the precise moment they’re ready to buy. For decades, the only solution was to use firmographic data (company size, industry, geographic footprint, etc.) which unfortunately offered no insights into whether the target would be ready to buy today, next quarter, next year, or ever. Things improved somewhat when technographic data came on the scene. By finding out which tools, technologies, and applications a company used, marketers could gain deeper insights into what they buy, how they operate, and what they might be looking to do next.
