ABM is an approach that focuses your efforts on accounts that close faster, generate bigger deals/revenue or accounts that have other strategic significance
In a traditional marketing funnel, you start by casting a wide net to find leads interested in your products
And then decide who to market to based on who has expressed interest
The challenge with this approach is you might spend a lot of time marketing and selling to companies you won’t win…
Or that you do win, but don’t provide optimal revenue for the time and resources it took to acquire them
ABM flips the traditional marketing funnel and starts by asking “who do I want to sell my products to?”
Then you build demand within those organizations
By starting with a focused set of key accounts, you maximize the impact of your resources
ABM works and provides a number of advantages
You improve marketing ROI by focusing your efforts on the most important accounts and also measuring impact through an account lens, which gives you the insight you need to optimize ABM success
It helps attribute marketing success much easier since your going after these accounts from the get go – when they become opportunities its very clear what drove them in.
You generate more qualified leads for the sales organization because you’re only targeting qualified accounts
And its brings sales and marketing teams closer, jointly focusing on winning key accounts or cross-selling to existing customers
