Selling or marketing to someone you have limited insights on is like trying to hit a piñata blindfolded. You have a general idea of where it is, but without knowing its exact whereabouts, you’re taking swings in the dark, and more often than not—you’ll miss your target. Gaps in buyer insights—pain points, account needs, and goals—are a huge issue for accountbased marketing (ABM) teams looking to deepen relationships with existing customers and target high-value prospects. Personalization lives at the core of ABM, and yet, personalization at scale toward target accounts (35 percent) and developing targeted content for accounts and personas (30 percent) are in the top five ABM challenges, according to Demand Gen Report.

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.”
