THE 2016 GUIDE TO B2B ACCOUNT-BASED TARGETING

For many years, companies have been using sales segmentation to narrow down lists of accounts into categories who are likely to become prospects or customers. But just looking at high-level data like company size, industry, or geographic region is only a small part of the overall picture. Modern data science can provide richly detailed information on businesses that can help you identify segments, sites, and individuals you may never have thought to consider. Whether or not you’re able to quantify today the amount of time sales spends working on leads that don’t pan out, you will need to optimize sales and marketing efforts to reap the best possible ROI. With a modern approach to account targeting, you can hone in on better opportunities for your sales and marketing teams, improve goal setting, and discover new sweet spots for your business—all of which feed the bottom line.
