Key Takeaways 

  • Account-based marketing (ABM) is a B2B growth strategy that aligns marketing and sales efforts around a set of shared target accounts.

  • ABM is most effective for B2B companies with a higher average contract value, a dedicated sales team, and a longer sales cycle.

  • Starting ABM with existing customers can be a great way to prove the model and generate results.

  •  The four key elements of ABM are data (identifying target accounts and reasons to reach out), distribution (choosing the right channels to engage prospects), destination (where to direct prospects), and direction (tracking engagement to determine if prospects are moving closer or further away).

  • ABM can be implemented in a scrappy and cost-effective manner, starting with one trigger, one channel, and one piece of content.
