Do you even need to use ABM?
Strategy
You only care about Enterprise Account penetration.
Customer Development for Product-Market-Fit
Tactic
High volume SaaS firm
Only one small group handles the top tier Enterprise Accounts
“Take a hard look at your business model. Are you a high-volume SaaS solution company? If so, you probably would benefit more from targeted lead marketing strategy. But if that same business is seeking to chart a different course by having top-tier sales reps focus solely on large enterprise accounts, ABM absolutely will have value.” – LeanData ABM Book
Page 43 #MKTGNATION
Do the marketing segmentation…Components Criteria Considerations
Account Target ListYour named account list with Company Name and Domain Name.
IS will be more precise, but CONTAINS may help. But beware “cisco” vs. “San Francisco”
Buyer Persona/Title ListSegmented People by Persona or Title Again, watch those filters. Buyer Personas will help more
here, but Titles or Level work too. Coverage reporting is mostly about Level. Sales’ input on Level & Function will be important for messaging.
Story for Each PersonaCollect content and design dynamic content matrix.
Do you have the messaging clear for each Persona?
Account PersonasSegment by Account, Industry, Size Do you have the story for each Account Persona?
Data Cleaning + Appending
Automated deduping, data appending, should be operational by now.
How much of the Account and Title information is filled in?Are you using Progressive Profiling to fill in more?
Territory Management
Ensure that you can send on behalf of the Salesperson, SDR/LDR, or Field Sales as appropriate. This may require segments or smart lists to go beyond Lead Owner in Salesforce.
Your CRM admin and Sales team need to have the update and territory change process very efficient or you risk embarrassment or missed opportunities.
