2. Define your goals and strategy
Which strategy should you use?
Do your products/services have a broad market appeal?
It’s time to go back to basics. Review your customer data to
determine who currently buys your products and services
and categorise those features so you can find more
‘lookalike’ customers. When you’re ready...start again.
Do you use firmographic data to model your accounts?
(e.g. geographic area. type of orgaization, indusrtry,
company size)
One-to-many
This type of strategy is suitable for a large
number of accounts and utilizes ABM at a
much bigger scale.
One-to-one
This type of strategy is often the most
effective as it addresses the individual’s
preferences and key challenges.
One-to-few
This strategy focuses on small groups
(rather than individuals) and is often more
achieveabke for businesses.
Do you have a good idea of who your ideal customer is?
Can you prioritise accounts
based on intent data or
readiness to buy?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
No
No
No
No
Adjustments in how you approach your customer data will enable you to utilize different strategies for different types of accounts. For example, a
one-to-one strategy can be used alongside a one-to-few strategy to target those accounts that are particularly high value, while your one-to-many
strategy can nurture those that match your firmographic profile but have yet to make a purchase.

4. Identify key accounts
Create an ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) to help gain
a better understanding of your existing customers.
This will help you focus on who you should be
targeting in your campaign and how you can reach
them more effectively.
You can use the template below to get you started:
Name:...............................................................................................
Job title:............................................................................................
Department:.......................................................................................
Industry:............................................................................................
Location:............................................................................................
Company size:...................................................................................
Budget:..............................................................................................
Pain points: ....................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................................
Business objectives: ......................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................................
.......................................................................................................................................................
Notable attributes: .........................................................................................................................

5. Select your channels
It’s now time to determine how your content is going to reach your ICP. Look back to see which channels have historically driven the highest
revenue and use that to determine how you’re going to reach your target accounts.

6. Market your message
You can now start marketing your message and preparing the sales teams to support this with additional outreach tactics such as emails and
phone calls. Each time your message is shared, think about whether it ticks the following boxes:
Is it engaging?
Your message can’t be boring. If it is, your target accounts
won’t take any notice. So it needs to be interesting.
Is it relevant?
Is your message relevant to the products/services you sell,
and is it relevant to the individual your targeting?
Is it targeted?
The whole purpose of ABM is to personalize what you’re
doing, so generic messaging won’t work.

7. Prepare analysis and reporting
To determine how successful your strategy, you need to measure specific KPIs. You’ll have already outlined which goals are important to you in
step 2 so now it’s time set up reporting and analysis to deliver insights.
Here are 11 metrics you should consider measuring:
•	 How many contacts have been
identified?
•	 How complete your knowledge of
them is
•	 What level of seniority and decision-
making power the contacts have
•	 How frequently you interact with them
•	 Number of product demos or
presentations
•	 Email click-through and time spent
reading content
•	 Attendance of trade shows and events
•	 Number of calls and meetings with
contacts
•	 Time spent on calls or in person
•	 Proactive engagement with you on
social media, web or offline
•	 Introductions the customer makes to
other leads, internal or external

  • 4. 4 YOUR ABM STRATEGY IN 7 SIMPLE STEPS www.inboxinsight.com 2. Define your goals and strategy Which strategy should you use? Do your products/services have a broad market appeal? It’s time to go back to basics. Review your customer data to determine who currently buys your products and services and categorise those features so you can find more ‘lookalike’ customers. When you’re ready...start again. Do you use firmographic data to model your accounts? (e.g. geographic area. type of orgaization, indusrtry, company size) One-to-many This type of strategy is suitable for a large number of accounts and utilizes ABM at a much bigger scale. One-to-one This type of strategy is often the most effective as it addresses the individual’s preferences and key challenges. One-to-few This strategy focuses on small groups (rather than individuals) and is often more achieveabke for businesses. Do you have a good idea of who your ideal customer is? Can you prioritise accounts based on intent data or readiness to buy? Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No Adjustments in how you approach your customer data will enable you to utilize different strategies for different types of accounts. For example, a one-to-one strategy can be used alongside a one-to-few strategy to target those accounts that are particularly high value, while your one-to-many strategy can nurture those that match your firmographic profile but have yet to make a purchase.
