A structured Account-Based Marketing playbook for sales and marketing teams planning, executing, and measuring ABM across targeted accounts. It combines ICP definition, account scoring and tiering, separate campaign frameworks for Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3, account-level engagement tracking, shared sales-marketing ownership, monthly account reviews, and KPI reporting so teams can run ABM as an operating system instead of a one-off campaign.
The Problem This Solves
ABM programs stall when sales and marketing do not agree on the ICP, account tiers, ownership, or next actions. Without a shared CRM-friendly framework, teams over-personalize the wrong accounts, under-resource high-fit targets, and struggle to prove account-level pipeline impact.
Who It's For
ABM managers, demand gen leaders, field marketers, enterprise AEs, SDR teams, and revenue leaders coordinating targeted account strategy.
Use Cases
- Define a consistent ICP and score target accounts before launching ABM programs
- Run differentiated Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 campaigns with clear ownership and KPIs
- Track account engagement, pipeline influence, and strategy adjustments in one shared planning system
