18. What Does Sales Want From Marketing?
What
“A meaningful and real relationship with the decision-makers + relationship with
all significant decision influencers + understanding of the dynamics of the specific
customers' business.”
New relationships:
• Accurate and clean contacts
• Air cover (awareness)
• Access and coverage (e.g. engagement
heat map)
• Meetings (where person knows why they
are meeting)
Insights:
• Research: org chart, budget, initiatives, priorities
• Timeline: what’s gone to each customer, their
status, etc.
• Reasons to call
• Account specific content

19. With #ABM you
need to knock on
people’s doors.
– @jonmiller

21. Opt out, tune out, toss out

22. Lead with Insights and Ideas
After sending my last email, I got really excited and wanted to share some ideas I had on
how Starbucks could leverage <Company Name>:
• Mobile app distribution - reduce friction by allowing your website visitors to download
your mobile app by texting the download link to their phone. We intelligently detect
whether a phone is on iOS or Android OS and sends them to the right app store.
• Picture message a coupon to your customers on their birthday. Why tell them how
good a frap will be when you can show them the gooey ribbons of caramel?
• New VIP service: text your order in to your local Starbucks. Get your favorite thirst
quencher sooner.
• Picture message Starbucks coupons w/QR codes to your friends on special
occasions.
• Leverage geo-location services to MMS special deals to customers when they are in
close vicinity to a Starbucks.
The possibilities are really endless.
I'd love to chat with you further about how other companies are using us, as well as chat
more about how we can help foster Starbucks' future innovative ventures.
Be bold – share some
amazing ideas; they will
respect even if you are
wrong.

23. Great ABM Requires Great Customer Knowledge
“A structured
approach to
developing and
implementing
highly-customized
marketing
campaigns to
markets of one.”
– ITSMA

24. Use Custom Content to Get Into Accounts
Custom Content
“Stories that the right people in your targeted companies would actually like
to read and share.” – Freya News
“75% of executives will read unsolicited marketing materials that contain
ideas that might be relevant to their business.” – ITSMA

40. • Account-based marketing coordinates
personalized marketing and sales efforts to land
and expand named accounts

marketing strategy or tactic
• Outbound does not necessarily mean
interruption; use account-specific content to reach
out
• There is no magic campaign; success comes
from a mix of integrated tactics
• Leads are insufficient to measure account-based
marketing; measure via coverage, awareness,
engagement, impact & influence
