5-point bulletproof case for ABM that wins CFOs over
Are you playing the long game or still under pressure to "generate leads"?
If you relate to the latter, we feel you! Old habits die hard and form fills are still a key metric at a lot of companies. But with the advancements in technology and AI, listening to and building a relationship with your buying groups through marketing is well within reach. Need help making the shift? We're here to help.
B2B marketing leaders need to drive demand in creative new ways. The problem? It can be tough to get creative in a climate of high pressure and low resources. Successful marketers know that tough economic conditions are a cue to double down on proven tactics—like ABM—while also taking smart risks.
Read on for the 5 key reasons top-performing companies are prioritizing ABM right now.
1. ABM gives your sales and marketing teams focus
ABM gives your sales and marketing teams focus, so they stop spinning their wheels and start collaborating more effectively to drive demand. By aligning your efforts around a set of target accounts, you can ensure that your teams are working together toward a common goal. This laser focus helps to eliminate the inefficiencies that often arise when sales and marketing are working in silos. What’s more, this collaboration leads to better alignment on messaging and more targeted outreach, which in turn delivers a more cohesive buyer experience.
To see where leading organizations are channeling their top 5 ABM investments to build alignment and impact across revenue teams, explore our practical guide on what’s driving measurable results today.
2. ABM helps you efficiently use your budget
ABM helps you efficiently use your budget because you’re only spending money to engage accounts that are your ideal fit. Unlike traditional marketing approaches that cast a wide net and hope to catch some leads, ABM is highly targeted—akin to spearfishing. In fact, in a study by ITSMA, 87% of marketers who measured ROI said that ABM outperformed other marketing investments. By identifying and prioritizing specific accounts, you can be sure that you are spending your marketing budget in the most effective way possible.
If you’re rethinking your budget for next quarter, our breakdown of ABM investment priorities shows how top marketers are balancing technology, content, and data to maximize ROI.
3. ABM increases the value of pipeline opportunities
By focusing on high-potential accounts and delivering personalized content and outreach, ABM can build stronger relationships with prospects that not only increase the likelihood of conversion but can also boost contract values. According to a study by Alterra Group, companies that implemented ABM saw a 171% increase in their average annual contract value. How? ABM programs focus on personalized messaging and specific needs and pain points for your targeted accounts, which can lead to a more engaged and receptive audience.

4. When implemented correctly, ABM is low risk and high impact
One of the most appealing aspects is its low-risk, high-reward nature. Inverta has helped hundreds of companies, both enterprise and high growth, implement and scale ABM successfully. In fact, Stacy Wriston, Director of Marketing from Wiley, said, “We partnered with Inverta to realign our ABM and the results were a beautifully executed program that exceeded our objectives and substantially increased revenue.”
5. It’s easy to prove the ROI of ABM
It’s easy to prove the ROI of ABM by identifying your key metrics at every account stage. Unlike other generalized approaches, ABM provides a clear and measurable impact at every step of the sales and marketing process, across three types of KPIs: revenue, relationships, and reputation. This level of visibility allows you to optimize your program and adjust your approach to best serve your target accounts. It also equips you to socialize early engagement metrics with your executives and stakeholders, to demonstrate marketing’s impact long before a new pipeline opportunity is created.
To put it simply, marketers are doubling down on ABM because it works.
How it works is an entirely separate conversation—but we’d be remiss not to mention one critical, but often overlooked aspect of running a successful ABM program. And that’s the marketing technology that makes it all happen behind the scenes, such as:
- Identifying priority accounts based on intent signals
- Personalizing content and creating custom content experiences
- Delivering real-time intelligence to optimize your program design
- Coordinating messages and content across channels and stages of the buyer’s journey
Whether you purchase new ABM technology to achieve your goals or work to integrate your existing tools to support your program, the design will depend on what you currently own and what you’re trying to achieve. Remember, the goal is to work smarter, not harder, to drive pipeline. So think through your marketing technology needs and strategy before you launch your program.
If you need support in your account-based marketing strategy, technology, or execution, we can get you up and running quickly, while equipping you with a scalable foundation for growth.
