The power of ABM and its importance

In today's competitive landscape, generating a high-quality pipeline is no easy task.

Statistics show that a whopping 97% of website visits remain anonymous, and only 7% of target customers are actively in the market for your products and solutions. This leads to an enormous waste of resources and missed opportunities.

ABM, when coupled with intent data, offers a solution to this challenge and a wealth of added benefits across all areas of your organization.

In the marketing department, consistent pipeline generation and optimized budgets and resources become achievable.

Operations teams can eliminate the guesswork from lead scoring and efficiently orchestrate contact acquisition and enrichment.

Sales teams can prioritize efforts on accounts and contacts in the market for your product or service, reducing buyer journey time.

ABM tools also offer immense value in terms of automation, immediacy, and insights.

You can uncover anonymous website visits to predict accounts that are in the market, and send targeted ads to relevant audiences.

You can also trigger sales outreach on hot accounts, spotting when they’re starting to research your products and services and reaching out to them. The list goes on!

But in general, by continuously improving and refining ABM strategies based on data intelligence, businesses can drive more targeted and effective sales approaches, guiding the next best actions.
