Hype Graduates To Practical Reality As Account-Based Marketing Comes Of Age
ABM will make the lead funnel metaphor obsolete. Leverage current martech stack to initiate ABM programs -- and focus on existing accounts.
ABM will give marketing more ownership over post-sale customer experience. Initiate a new-customer communications program as part of your ABM strategy.
Advocate marketing will figure prominently in 1/3 of ABM programs launched in 2017. Use advocate personalities to profile your raving fans.

Vendor Consolidations Will help Marketers Focus On Customers
ABM usage will reduce vendor cacophony several decibels. Start with strategy, not technology, for success with ABM.
CMOs will challenge Sales to build one ops stack. Make flexibility a requirement of any new investment.
The predictive market will consolidate. Really. Insist on model transparency and transferability.
Tech marketers will leave a well-trodden path for others to follow. Ask vendors for industry-specific use cases and success stories.
