Thinking Like a CEO
When selling ABM internally, especially to the top brass like your CEO, it’s crucial to speak their language and tap into their mindset. CEOs are laser-focused on the bottom line, growth, and staying a step ahead of the competition. So, let’s break it down in terms they can’t ignore
How ABM Saves Time and Money
With ABM, we’re not just casting a wide net and hoping for the best. We’re sniper-precise, targeting accounts that show real potential. ABM is efficient and cost-effective. By channeling our resources and efforts where they matter most, we cut through the noise, save time, and ultimately save money.
Securing More Wins and Deals
ABM is about quality, not quantity. When we target accounts that are primed and ready, our hit rate skyrockets. Our messages hit harder, resonate deeper, and are more likely to convert. It’s a strategy designed to win, placing us in the perfect position to seal more deals and celebrate more victories.
Amping Up Our Competitive Edge
By understanding our accounts on a deeper level, creating personalized experiences, and delivering content that matters, we’re not just in the game — we’re leading it.
Addressing the Pain Points: Small Teams, Big Goals
Let’s face it — we’re not all working with unlimited budgets and sprawling marketing teams. But that’s the beauty of ABM — it’s tailor-made for teams that need to do more with less. By focusing our efforts on high-value accounts, our small but mighty team becomes a force to be reckoned with.
One of the perennial challenges for marketing teams is knowing where to focus. ABM strips away the guesswork, providing a data-driven approach to account prioritization. With RollWorks, we have the account data foundation to confidently point our resources in the right direction.
Tired of the sales-marketing tug-of-war? ABM is the peacekeeper. By aligning sales and marketing efforts on target accounts, we create a unified front, driving better results and fostering a sense of collaboration. It’s about increasing Top of Funnel (TOF) coverage and ensuring that when marketing speaks, sales listens — and vice versa.
Aligning Sales and Marketing for Success
When sales and marketing march to the beat of the same drum, incredible things happen. We create a powerhouse of precision, effectiveness, and undeniable impact. But how do we turn this dream team scenario into our everyday reality? Let’s dive in.
Alignment: Two Teams, One Mission
With ABM at our core, sales and marketing become inseparable. We’re talking about a symbiotic relationship where both teams feed off each other’s energy, insights, and successes. This is where strategies are sharpened, targets are hit, and results are celebrated — together. With this alignment, building an ABM marketing plan becomes a much more streamlined process.
Accountability: Owning Our Outcomes
Every play, every campaign, and every interaction is a chance to shine. And with ABM, accountability is built right in. Sales know their targets, marketing knows their content, and together, we own our outcomes. There’s no blame game here, just a united front and a clear path to success.
Visibility: Seeing is Believing
In the world of ABM, visibility is everything. It’s about having a clear line of sight on our accounts, campaigns, and progress. RollWorks doesn’t just offer a glimpse—it provides a panoramic view, ensuring that both sales and marketing are in the know and on the ball.
