The rise of Account-Based Marketing

June 12, 2018

I know, I know. There are a million think-pieces that have been saying the same thing for years, but there is a kernel of truth to it. Did you know only 18% of television ads generate a positive ROI? Even just 15 years ago, the thought that television commercials would perform so poorly was almost unthinkable, and now it’s just a fact of doing business. Look at your own life do you actively watch commercials? Or do you mute ads, answer emails on your phone, scroll through Facebook, and do anything in your power to not pay attention to them? Even entertainment tastes are changing. The hour's people spend online absolutely dwarf the amount they put into traditional forms of entertainment like television or books. Large audiences are becoming increasingly harder to reach.

Alignment between marketing and sales is a top priority at most organizations. After all, the more marketing and sales teams are aligned, the better the results. When marketing and sales are in sync, teams see increased revenue, improved customer retention, increased renewals, and better win rates. Despite the fact that teams want alignment, many struggle to achieve it. That’s, in part, because gaining alignment isn’t easy. If your company is already performing well, it may be tempting to continue on upholding the status quo—making sales through reputation or referrals.
