Depending on when you start counting, Account Based Marketing and Selling is 15+ years old as a defined GTM strategy. It’s time we take a fresh look at how and why Account Based started, its current state, and where it’s headed next as a driver of B2B growth.
One thing is for certain: it never should have been called ABM. True account-based motions are cross-functional, and the most successful include the entire customer journey–from acquisition to retention and expansion. But whether it’s due to CRM technology’s struggle to accommodate, or simply a lack of market complexity, many B2B organizations are still struggling to effectively execute ABX motions.
Join us as we unpack the complexities of ABX and discover how to leverage it for B2B growth with Gabe Rogol, CEO of Demandbase. Whether you're struggling with cross-functional alignment or looking to refine your account-based strategies, you’re in the right place.
