Technology is rapidly changing the way we do marketing, and account-based marketing (ABM) is a tactic that organizations can no longer ignore.
Account-Based Marketing helps B2B marketers identify and target the accounts they value the most: from customers, to partners, to prospects. There are several ways an organization can identify the ideal customer profiles/accounts. One tactic is to work with internal stakeholders to identify potential clients. Another tactic is to use your CRM and marketing automation platforms to engage, convert, close and then measure progress against customers and prospects. Alternately, you can apply ABM tools like Demandbase to identify and attract clients. However, just because you use a specific tool to manage your ABM campaigns, does not mean you do ABM. Note that account-based marketing strategies take longer to execute, yet the conversion rate and deal size are well worth the long game.
Every ABM strategy and activation looks different. Some are hyper-focused on a few target accounts, while others may focus on select industries or more extensive account lists. Some ABM programs use a mix of paid social to generate net new leads. Still other programs use marketing automation to nurture these leads through the buyer’s funnel.
Successful ABM programs break down silos between departments, especially between sales and marketing. With only 22% of companies believing their marketing and sales departments align, it’s no wonder why ABM’s reputation is growing.
Enabling the sales organization to work closely with marketing can provide input on target accounts and feedback on the sales cycle. Thanks to technology, campaigns can now operate on a much grander scale and be executed more efficiently than ever before. When sales and marketing work together, they get a 360-view of the customer journey, allowing for a personalised experience for customers.
Account-based marketing allows for personalised campaigns that provide valuable content to the target audience. ABM programs ensure the message and content align with the interests, needs, and challenges of each account and critical stakeholders.
