What is the main difference between ABM and traditional lead generation?
Traditional lead generation focuses on generating a large quantity of individual leads, which are then qualified. ABM flips this model by focusing on the quality of accounts first. It's a strategic approach to generating opportunities within a specific, high-value list of companies, rather than generating leads from a broad audience.
What kind of technology is needed for an ABM campaign?
A successful ABM campaign typically utilizes a "tech stack" that includes a CRM (like Salesforce or HubSpot), a marketing automation platform, and specialized ABM software for account identification, ad targeting, and analytics. We have the expertise to manage these platforms or work within the systems you already have.
How do you ensure sales and marketing alignment in an ABM campaign?
Alignment is built into our process from day one. We begin with joint workshops involving both sales and marketing stakeholders to agree on the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and the target account list. We maintain regular communication, share data and insights, and establish clear definitions for when an account is "marketing qualified" and ready for sales outreach.
