Sales and marketing leaders while talking about efficiency know that Account-Based Marketing allows you to align your teams around the same targeted accounts to promote long-term growth, delight customers, and boost revenue.

Account-Based Marketing needs sales and marketing teams to work together to target best-fit accounts and turn them into customers. ABM is defined by holistic thinking and engaging relevant personas within your target accounts while focusing on quality growth, not quantity metrics.

Successful Account-Based Marketing Strategies require a shared list of target accounts and following a set of account-based principles that focus on quality, not quantity to help sales and marketing teams work as one, and focus resources on the highest propensity accounts.

While there are many benefits associated with ABM including efficient use of your marketing budget and better customer experience, below are the ones that mostly and positively have made an impact.

1. Marketing and Sales Alignment with Account-Based Marketing

B2B decisions aren’t made by individuals, they’re made by teams. ABM is a tight partnership between marketing and sales. A highly targeted and data-driven strategy, ABM enables you to identify and reach mutually-identified high-value customers. It allows collaboration between teams and better communication across the organization. This enables your teams to pick up the account even after a while no matter how long it has been with your company.
