Drive Demand Performance Outcomes with ABX

Summary

"This stagnation is further exemplified by the fact that most marketing teams continue to execute strategies that focus on generating leads at target accounts rather than fully addressing the buying committee and all its members. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for B2B marketers, as the potential for deeper engagement with all stakeholders within a buying group remains largely untapped."

ABM MOMENTUM DESPITE MODEST GROWTH OUTLOOK

COMMON ABM CHALLENGES

“Lead lists quickly become outdated as businesses evolve and team members change roles. This can result in targeting the wrong individuals or sending messages to those decision makers no longer relevant 
to the buying process, hindering personalisation efforts.”

“By adopting ABX as the guiding principle, organisations can gradually nurture their account based strategies to maturity and achieve a solidified ABX framework with well-defined tactics in place.”

3 STEPS TO DRIVE PERSONALIZATION AT SCALE WITH ABX

“In an era where buyers expect nothing less than personalised engagement, embracing automation and AI is not just a competitive advantage but a necessity for the success of ABX programs. If applied correctly, it allows businesses to foster deeper, more meaningful connections with their target audiences.”
