Broad-based
Mostly inbound
Lead-centric
Goal is volume

What is our ideal customer profile (ICP)?
Example: Higher ACV compared to non-ICP, better retention, cross-sell opportunities

@HeidiBullock @Engagio
ABM is useful here

<50 42.3% 43.54%
Small 23.3% 23.54%
Medium 11% 11.4%

Look at your key segments. Do you know which is the most profitable for the
business? Is your current strategy optimized for that?

Define your ICP

1Identify your ICP – Ideal Customer Profile• Historical data – (where have you had success?)
• Key vertical (ex: healthcare, entertainment, construction)
• Firmographics – (size of company, revenue, geography)
• Other signals – intent data, hiring patterns, etc.

Figure out the TAM – Total Addressable Market• How many accounts in my database fit that profile?
• How many in GEOs we support (location)?
• What is the white space?
Prioritize Accounts• Can use predictive scoring (account scoring) + intent data
• Sales input
• Historical data (closed won analysis)

Set goals - Be clear what you are moving towards
Have a hypothesis – We think this set of accounts in the health care vertical makes sense for us to pursue.
–Higher ASP

Anatomy of a program
28
Goal: Awareness
Is the company aware of your
products / services?
Goal: Engagement
Are the right people engaged
and interested?
Goal: Action
Do they have what is required
to make a decision?
Ask: What set of tactics make sense for these objectives?Note – It’s never just ONE activity.

@HeidiBullock @Engagio
ABM metrics are different
•Focus on quality not quantity
•Track accounts not leads (MQAs not MQLs)
•Time spent (engagement minutes)
•Track impact and influence more than try to apportion ‘credit’ (team effort)
41
![Page 42: From Prospect to Customer: Maximize Lifetime Value with Account Based Marketing](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a650a787f8b9aa2548b6291/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
@HeidiBullock @Engagio
What to measure
42
Do you have
sufficient
data,
contacts, and
account
plans for
each target
account?
Are the target
accounts
aware of your
company?
Are the right
people at the
account
spending time
with your
company? Is
that
engagement
going up over
time?
Are
marketing
programs
reaching
target
accounts?
Are ABM

Take-Aways
1. To drive growth and revenue, do not focus ONLY on acquisition
2. ABM is a powerful strategy for entire customer journey
3. To engage your customers, delight them with personal and relevant communication
4. ABM metrics are different – it’s not about volume
5. There is not one golden metric, measure at different time points
