Three Types of
ABM Analytics

The Framework for ABM Analytics
Fundamentally, three questions arise in ABM:
• Am I creating and deepening relationships with target
accounts?
• How do accounts move through buying journeys to desired
outcomes (e.g. pipeline and revenue)?
• What is the return on investment of my marketing
programs’?

Type Metric Description
Accounts Engagement
Am I creating and deepening
relationships with my target
accounts?
Journeys Outcomes
How do accounts move
through their buying journeys
towards the outcomes
(pipeline, revenue) we care
about?

What is the marketing return
on investment on my

The Framework for ABM Analytics

Account Analytics
Engagement: Am I creating and deepening
relationships with my target accounts?

Coverage
Do you have sufficient data, opt-in contacts, and account
plans for each target account?

Coverage: Newly Added vs Newly Engaged

Engagement
Are the right people at the account spending time with your
company, is that engagement going up over time?

Engagement Data for Sales
Sales and SDRs love engagement data as
much as Marketing. They use it to:
• Identify engaged accounts
• Find the best people to contact next
• Understand how effectively Marketing is
supporting their efforts
• Prepare QBRs and other account reviews
Sales should access Engagement data wherever they already work –
in CRM, in email, in LinkedIn – not just the analytics tool

Journey Analytics
Outcomes: How do accounts move through
their buying journeys towards the outcomes
(pipeline, revenue) we care about?

Why Account Journeys
31
Sales never talks about how many leads they
close, they talk about accounts they close.

ABM Maturity
CATEGORY CURRENT ABM MATURITY WHAT TO DO NEXT
Beginner
You may not even have
defined target accounts yet.
• Start with the basic account foundation — L2A matching
and engagement scoring
• Pick accounts (can start small)
• Run a starter play: SDR + marketing air cover
• Set a baseline for measurement
Intermediate
With your accounts in place,
you’re ready to run and
measure integrated plays.
• Implement additional styles of ABM
• Evolve all your metrics to be account-based
• Measure – optimize – refine
Advanced
You run more sophisticated
plays — customized with
deeper account insights.
• Use ABM for all phases of the customer journey
• Compare program ROI via multiple attribution models
Pilots are great ways to show short-term successes and
get the entire company to buy into ABM’s benefits.

Checklist for Building Alignment
 DO know why you’re doing ABM
 DO position it as a strategic initiative
 DON’T describe ABM as ‘the next big marketing campaign’.
 DO sell it to Sales
 DON’T tell Sales which accounts to go after. (They don’t want to be
told who to sell to)
 DO agree on resources committed to each style of ABM accounts
 DON’T expect results overnight; big wins in ABM can take a while
 DO over-communicate to let everyone know what’s happening

Your All-Star Lineup

• Traditional demand generation is like fishing with a net, when quantity is more
important than quality. Because ABM is like fishing with a spear, ABM metrics
measure quality.
• With ABM, lead quantity will go down as quality goes up. Revenue results will
take time! Set expectations properly.
• Build your ABM analytics foundation by unifying systems, matching leads-to-
accounts, selecting accounts, and tracking programs and campaigns.
• Engagement is the most fundamental ABM metric since it answers the key
question: Do the right people from the right accounts spend time with our
company?
• Journey analytics define stages of customer journeys, track progress toward
intended outcomes, and measure key metrics including balance, flow,
conversion, and velocity.
• Multi-touch attribution seeks to understand how each interaction contributes
to the value of outcomes you care about (often pipeline and revenue).
• Don’t tackle everything at once. ABM is a long-term effort. Start with a few
metrics and add over time as the business requires.
