As far as marketers were concerned, the more traffic they could send to their sites, the better.\r\n\r\nTheir underlying philosophy at the time: Get enough fish into the net, and you were bound to have a few keepers in there somewhere. Keep your fingers crossed! \ud83e\udd1e\r\n\r\nOver the years, however, an alternative philosophy began to develop, one that isn\u2019t as much a net as a spear \u2014 account-based marketing.\r\n\r\nIn this blog, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know about account-based marketing, including:\r\n\r\nTable of Contents \ud83d\udcd6<\/strong>\r\n

    What is Account-Based Marketing?<\/h2>\r\nAccount-based marketing (ABM) is a form of marketing that uses highly targeted, personalized campaigns to win over particular accounts.\r\n\r\nRather than relying on blanket campaigns meant to appeal to an entire market, ABM treats \u201cindividual accounts as markets in their own right\u201d (ITSMA<\/a>).\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to closing a deal, it\u2019s rarely a single person making the decision. Particularly with enterprise deals, it's estimated that six to 10 people are involved<\/a> in the decision-making process. ABM differs from other types of marketing in that it acknowledges all the different people \u2014 and different viewpoints \u2014 that comprise each account.\r\n

    How Account-Based Marketing & Inbound Marketing Work Together<\/h2>\r\nUsing both inbound and outbound tactics in your overall marketing strategy is a highly effective way to drive results for your business. Inbound marketing is a more organic way of drawing in customers by promoting brand awareness and using strategic content to get them to engage with your business. On the other hand, outbound marketing involves strategic outreach and engagement with your target audience.\r\n\r\nABM plays into this outbound strategy. Typically, this involves selecting a handful of dream accounts that match your ideal customer profile (ICP)<\/a>. These will be the high-value accounts that you know you can successfully study, engage, and convert.\r\n\r\nBut inbound marketing can also aid in finding these dream accounts. To use the fish analogy again, once you\u2019ve got a bunch of fish in your inbound net \ud83c\udfa3, you can use your ABM spear \ud83c\udfafto go after the highest value accounts.\r\n\r\nPlus, when you use inbound and ABM strategies together, three things happen:\r\n
