Opportunity Knocks Uncovering Potential with Account-Based Marketing
LEADCUSTOMER 2 LEADS. LEADS. LEADS. In recent years, every organization is jumping into marketing automation (MA) as the be-all, end-all platform to capture and sort leads. But is it enough to simply let your MA machine do all the work? Your database is full of them. Qualified leads. Unqualified leads. Duplicate leads. Leads that are highly interested. Leads that only want you for your content. Buried in those heaps of lead and contact records are the ones who will ultimately buy from you. Not only do you have to uncover them, you also have to figure out the best way to convert them into customers. 2

Marketing Sales ATTRACTING Account-based marketing takes this alignment to a whole new level. As a concept, it means a dedicated and attentive approach towards marketing programs and metrics that map to named and strategic accounts. In practice, it encourages sales and marketing to work closely together to evaluate account traction, create a shared list of high-potential leads and prospects, and target them by persona with highly specific tactics.
