Is an ABM approach feasible for every B2B company?
That is one question that can be answered in detail by business experts who have already experienced what differences this approach made to their company. Nonetheless, you should count on ABM as a go-to strategy, especially if you find yourself in one of these scenarios:
-
Your business has a high-priced product
-
You mainly sell to buying-committees
-
Your prospects are either focused on a particular niche or are massive companies
If one of these scenarios speaks about your business, you will see that after integrating an ABM strategy, you will make the most of your marketing and sales efforts, by:
-
Closing bigger deals
-
Closing deals faster
-
Strengthening collaboration between sales and marketing teams
