The Clear and Complete Guide to Account Based

Marketing

#MKTGNATION

Tweetable Takeaways• Outbound can be easier to scale and drive larger deals than inbound

• Outbound does not necessarily mean interruption; use account-specific content to reach out

• Account Based Everything is a strategy that orchestrates personalized marketing, sales, and success efforts at named accounts

• Human email is by far the most important channel for account based everything

• Don’t measure measure account-based everything with quantity; measure via coverage, awareness, engagement, reach & impact
