Building an effective account-based program brings up a lot of specific questions. On this episode of Scrappy ABM, host Mason Cosby answers the most frequent questions pulled directly from previous ABM in a Day workshops. Mason addresses exactly what re-engagement means and when accounts should cycle out of your program.
Mason details the minimum viable tools required to run a successful strategy. He warns against buying new software before establishing a clear plan. Instead, he explains how your strategy should inform the tools you use. You only really need a CRM, a marketing automation platform, and a sales outreach tool.
The conversation also addresses the common conflict between outbound sales outreach and marketing automation sequences. Mason explains how to turn sales into a distribution channel. This ensures target accounts get the same message across multiple channels, making your overall outreach more intentional.
