Enhanced ABM

Enhanced ABM is an approach that involves B2B marketing teams working together to target perfect customers. Nowadays, marketing is a battle for potential customers' attention over the abundance of information. Therefore, companies who are looking for the highest ROI must focus on high-value accounts while keeping logo penetration, marketing penetration, and account penetration in mind. Sales and marketing teams must coordinate their efforts to identify, engage with, and close deals with the highest-value accounts that matter. Nowadays, grabbing buyers' attention looks much different. Marketers can reach customers on an entirely new level in the engagement economy—a world where everything is connected.


A new era has begun! In a cacophony of competitors and a growing abundance of information, this new horizon brings challenges. For high-value customers, many companies find that ABM strategies serve them better than broad-based campaigns. Due to improvements in technology and a shifting landscape, account-based marketing has experienced resurgence. Improved ROI can be achieved with ABM, attributed revenue, and driving conversions. To attract all companies, B2B marketers target leads more broadly. However, this isn't necessarily the best strategy. As an ABM initiative requires a high degree of personalization, scaling it used to be hard and expensive. Now that technology is improving, it is easier and more affordable for all types of marketers to implement ABM into their teams to drive higher value outcomes.

Features of ABM Targeting, engagement, and measuring comprise account-based marketing. Your marketing team will be successful if you make these aspects the foundation of your program.  Finding profitable accounts on ABM: Find the accounts that are worth your time and yield the highest return through technology. Instead of managing accounts and lists between different apps, you can centrally target and


manage them. You should target accounts that meet high yield, product fit, quick wins, strategic importance, and competitive landscape.  Multi-channel campaigns: Use a single platform to manage your marketing campaigns across different channels, rather than managing each separately. An account-based marketing solution brings the channels together so that you can deliver cross-channel campaigns that are informed and comprehensive.  Optimizing your ABM strategy: You need to demonstrate your success over time. Find a solution that allows you to create dashboards that provide revenue-based account analytics that can be applied to specific accounts, programs, and targets.

based marketing strategies as outperforming other marketing strategies.  ABM results in higher revenue for the organization. The revenue generated by marketing is 208% higher in companies with their marketing and sales teams aligned.

Make your account-based marketing strategy work for you. Choosing a list of high-value accounts is the foundation of a successful ABM program. You can work together with your marketing and sales teams to deliver effective campaigns through the appropriate channels once you define your targets.  Make sure you know your high-value accounts: Make sure you identify and prioritize your high-value accounts based on all the firmographic information you find on your clients. It is important to consider not only the financial potential of the business, but also factors such as reputation, market influence, the likelihood of repeat business, and potential for increased profits.  Find key internal players and mapping accounts: Determine who the target accounts are, how decisions are made, and who makes decisions. Establish clear and significant business challenges that the target accounts face. An effective ABM program employs content that addresses these challenges. Identify the pain points of


your target account and use messaging and content to address them.  Decide what channels to leverage: Use the web, mobile, and email to communicate with your target audience. Be sure to choose the right channels and consider things such as opt-in rules and other restrictions local to your area.  Coordinating campaigns across channels: Aligning the marketing and sales teams' efforts is critical. ABM campaigns can now be coordinated and executed at a much higher scale and efficiency than in the past.  Take Action: Ensure your ABM marketing campaigns are effective and that you will improve your results by testing, measuring, and optimizing them. Make sure to review individual campaign results and trends at the account level to obtain a more comprehensive overview.
