B-School Meets Real World: Your Account-Based Marketing Playbook
Traditional lead generation was all about quantity. Account-based marketing is all about quality. Before account-based marketing, most B2B marketers looked only at finding more leads. Now it’s about connecting to the best contacts at accounts that can become opportunities. Gain traction building relationships with all the key stakeholders.
Account-based Marketing (ABM) is quickly becoming the next big thing in B2B marketing. According to the SiriusDecisions, more than 90 percent of B2B marketers believe that account-based marketing is a must-have. Yet, many of them feel inadequately prepared to effectively adopt an ABM methodology or simply don’t know how to start beyond simply asking sales reps to provide a list of target accounts that they like to target.
In this breakfast session, Joe Granda will share best practices for making ABM really work. He will discuss:
• Selecting the best accounts to target
• Cool tools to find the hidden insights
• Tips and tricks for your sales and marketing outreach
