Does your marketing budget allow for game changing solutions?
The old adage goes “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Similarly, you can’t use outdated sales and marketing tactics and technologies to conduct next generation Account-Based Marketing.
B2B Marketing is transforming from Lead Generation to Account-Based Marketing. ABM requires a whole new set of tools and techniques that need to be harmoniously utilized by both sales and marketing. Key tenets of successful ABM are:
- Extreme personalization
- Fresh content for frequent client engagement
- Real-time insights about people, companies, and industries
- Analytics to qualify prospects and gauge their intent
Current martech stacks pre-date ABM
Traditional CRM, Content Management Systems (CMS) and Marketing Automation platforms are antiquated and fragmented, predating ABM by at least a decade. Integrating disparate B2B systems is not only expensive, in terms of time and dollars, it also doesn’t yield the results expected from ABM.
Starting with outdated, clumsy systems delays the impact and ROI from ABM by months if not years.
Current martech stacks pre-date Artificial Intelligence
AI is playing an increasingly disruptive role in B2B marketing and ABM. AI offers unprecedented advantages by:
- Helping uncover engaging content to increase client engagement,
- Invoking behavioral science to predict personality insights and personalize every client interaction,
- Leveraging data science to qualify prospects and identifying when and who to engage.
AI cannot be ignored!
Allocate budget for game changing solutions
Marketing technologies i.e. CRM, CMS, and Marketing Automation, account for one-third of marketing’s budget (29%). In the context of ABM, these systems don’t add incremental value by providing actionable insight or content that accelerates engagement. In other words, one-third of the marketing budget is pledged to maintain the status quo.
To achieve breakthrough results, in meaningful timelines, marketing needs to invest in game-changing technologies that enable and accelerate ABM.
