Marketing and Sales Alignment is the First Step to a More Agile ABM Program

Align Sales and Marketing for ABM Agility

A crucial cornerstone when launching an ABM program is alignment. Before implementing ABM, successful marketing practitioners must make sure that they’re aligned with their sales counterparts: working together to develop target account lists, creating campaign messaging together and developing shared goals and KPIs. The collaboration process lends itself to a more adaptive and flexible approach to the overall strategy.

But to be more agile, you can’t only rely on a more collaborative mindset – a commitment to change is required on several fronts, not just organizational change. Agility often requires leveraging new data sources and ABM innovators are discovering that purchase intent data offers a new level of access to active demand in the market – and must proactively share and enable sales with those insights. Read this article to explore in more depth how your organization can better achieve ABM agility.

By unifying your marketing and sales teams and adopting additional data sources, ABM success is more likely to happen for your organization.
