Questions about account-based marketing (ABM)

What is account-based marketing (ABM)?

Account-based marketing (ABM) means that you choose the companies you want as customers and work to win each one. Sales and marketing work the same list of accounts, and pipeline is reported per account.

When does ABM make sense for a B2B company?

ABM works when deals are large, several people take part in the buying decision, and the list of possible customers is limited. For low-value products sold to many companies, lead generation costs less per customer.

How is ABM different from lead generation?

Lead generation attracts many companies and then qualifies them. ABM starts with a list of chosen companies and works to win each one.

How many accounts should an ABM programme target?

As many as your sales team can work well. The top tier is worked account by account. Larger tiers are worked per segment.

How do you measure ABM results?

Per account: engagement of the buying committee, meetings and pipeline. The numbers come from your CRM.

How long does it take to see results from ABM?

A pilot with one group of accounts runs for 6–10 weeks. It shows which accounts engage and take meetings. Pipeline depends on the length of your sales cycle.

How much does ABM cost?

The cost depends on the number of accounts, the channels and the languages. We agree the scope of the pilot with you after the first call.

Can you run ABM in HubSpot?

Yes. HubSpot has target accounts, buying roles and account-level reports. We set them up and run the programme in your portal.
