HOW ABM CREATES EFFICIENCY
Can we sponsor just the events
that attract our target accounts AND
will give us a speaking slot?
Fewer events; greater ROI
Can we personalize our website to
deliver relevant content and keep
target accounts on our site longer?
Optimize for the 15%
TARGET
ACCOUNT LIST
EVENTS DIGITAL CAMPAIGNS
How can we engage customers and
speed the pathway to upsell and renewal?
Expand customer relationships
CUSTOMER MARKETING FIELD MARKETING
Which regions contain the highest
concentration of target accounts?
Set the strategy; don’t be reactive

SET AN ACHIEVABLE PACE
Crawl:
§ Used the phased approach to launch an ABM effort across 1 or 2 segments
§ Measure success across the full funnel – increases in awareness, engagement and conversion
Walk:
§ Execute same approach across more segments.
§ Lean in on intent data – use DB intent data to segment (by journey stage, by keyword intent)
§ Accelerate - get better and faster at measurement and optimization.
Run:
§ Sales and marketing are in lock step – sales uses marketing insight to prioritize outreach
§ Put ABM at the epicenter of marketing – focus on target accounts in field marketing, email, direct
mail, etc.
§ Measure marketing success by business outcomes – pipeline contribution, revenue, deal size,
funnel velocity
