The Promise and Pitfalls of Account-Based Marketing (ABM)

According to a recent survey by FlipMyFunnel, 64% of marketers plan to implement Account-Based Marketing (ABM) in the next year. If done right, ABM can pay huge dividends for your organization. But as with any new strategy, executing is not always as easy as it looks. To achieve maximum success, it’s not enough to simply desire the benefits of ABM – to proceed effectively, you need to avoid the pitfalls.

The Promise and Pitfalls of ABM

Marketers are turning to tools and partners to execute ABM effectively

Even beyond avoiding pitfalls, marketers with the best thought-out plans are finding they may not have what it takes to effectively execute account-based marketing on their own. In order to better scale and manage the complexity of ABM programs, more and more companies are turning to tools and partners for help. According to SiriusDecisions, 60% of marketers are planning to invest more in ABM this year, and to do it, many will look to strategic partners who offer help in key areas.  While the FlipMyFunnel study notes that 71% will invest in tools than can help them execute, SiriusDecisions points out that tools are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s needed to succeed.
