Companies who have highly defined personas Companies whose products/services are highly

targeted, and only sell to a small market segment Companies with a dedicated sales team Companies with smaller teams (not as many

resources for traditional inbound marketing/lead generation tactics)

Companies with tightly defined sales goals or are looking to develop their business portfolio

Who is ABM right for?

If you are ready to take a more advanced approach to ABM, investing in an ABM tool is key. These tools use digital targeting (IP or cookie-based) to reach specific accounts, and can be used to:o Identify the relevant people (specific titles) at the companies

you specify. o Deliver your ads directly to your targeted audience, reaching

them through multiple channels.o Provide stats on engagements and interactions at the

individual, title, and overall account levels.o Allow you to see what marketing program or effort drove the

first interaction with a new lead.o Track reach, impressions, and spend on the campaigns you

set. Most tools can integrate with CRM systems to target accounts

already in your database, which is also crucial for staying on top of account activity.

Use additional marketing tools, or your marketing automation platform, if you are just getting started with ABM, or to enhance your ABM tactics.
