Account Based Management- How a trusted partner can deliver an improved wallet share

Account Based Management- How a trusted partner can deliver an improved wallet share

  • By: magistral
  • January 19, 2023

Introduction

A strategic method of business development known as account-based management (ABM) includes concentrating sales and marketing efforts on a small number of high-value accounts. B2B businesses frequently employ this strategy because fewer accounts can account for a sizable part of income. Instead of employing a one-size-fits-all strategy, ABM enables businesses to customize their marketing and sales efforts to the unique demands and problems of each customer. Through deeper ties with key accounts, this can increase revenue.

Applying an account-based management strategy can assist produce a greater return on investment (ROI) per dollar of sales, even though initially it might make sense to use a general marketing plan for your target clients. Account-based management, when compared to other management strategies, reportedly produced the highest returns on investments.

Benefits of an Account-Based Management Strategy

Obtaining a new account is getting more and more challenging in the modern era. The marketing and sales team can more efficiently target their clients by identifying imperative accounts and using a combination of traditional and digital techniques. This is achieved by creating customized account-based management strategies and deploying targeted customized ads to individually target these accounts.

Benefits of Account-Based Management

Benefits of Account-Based Management

The benefits of account-based administration include some of the following:

  1. Better coordination between marketing and sales: With ABM, marketing and sales teams collaborate to create custom plans for each account, which can aid in enhancing communication and teamwork between the two groups.
  2. Higher conversion rates: Businesses can improve their chances of effectively converting accounts into customers by focusing their marketing and sales efforts on the unique requirements of each account. For example, accounts that are more likely to make a purchase.
  3. Improved relationships: ABM helps businesses develop stronger, more meaningful relationships with their most important clients, resulting in stronger relationships with key accounts. Longer-lasting business relationships and higher consumer loyalty may result from this.
  4. Revenue growth: Businesses can increase the revenue from their major accounts by concentrating on high-value accounts and adjusting their strategies for each account specifically.
  5. Better use of resources: Instead of dispersing their efforts thinly across many accounts, ABM enables businesses to concentrate their resources on the accounts that have the highest revenue potential. The return on investment for sales and marketing activities can be increased in this way.

Implications of Account Based Management

There are some implications of account-based management. Like:

  1. Resource-intensive: Implementing an ABM approach can be time- and labor-intensive due to the need to thoroughly research and identify key accounts, develop individualized campaigns, and monitor and assess results.
  2. Limited scalability: ABM is typically more successful when targeting a few high-value accounts as opposed to a lot of lower-value accounts. The method’s ability to scale may be constrained by this.
  3. Limited flexibility: Because ABM needs extensive planning and coordination to execute successfully, it can be less flexible than other systems. This may make it challenging to adapt to market or consumer demand changes.
  4. Requires support from a variety of stakeholders: ABM needs the support and buy-in of numerous internal stakeholders, including teams from sales, marketing, and customer success, to be effective. Especially if there is a lack of coordination or communication between various organizations, it may be difficult to do this.
  5. ABM might not be appropriate for all company models or industries: It is so because it demands a high level of personalization and customization, which isn’t always possible or necessary.

Strategy Planning in Account-Based Management

Before we proceed further it is important to note why is an account-based management strategy important. This is important because of the necessity of ensuring that the campaigns are used to target the right market segments, all the teams are also aware of what is expected of them and that each campaign is designed to specifically address that market campaign for management.

Let’s now look at the steps involved in account-based management.

Step 1: Discover your high-value accounts: Using Pareto’s 80/20 principle key accounts that need to be targeted are identified in this phase. Consider factors such as their size, industry, and growth potential.

Step 2: Identify key stakeholders: Quite often it happens that there might be several decision-makers working in different departments of an organization. Each of them may then need to be targeted by multiple contacts each time there is a decision that needs to be made. This step ensures that the hierarchy of decision-makers is laid down in writing to ensure better coordination amongst the various departments of an organization.

Step 3: Design customized content: This step ensures that customized campaigns are designed to target individual, specific accounts of an organization which in turn leads to better ROI.

Step 4: Determine marketing channel for targeting: Not only are the campaigns customized for delivery, but it is also ensured that proper marketing channels are used to target individual accounts on a one-on-one basis. This could involve creating customized content or events, using personalized communication channels, or deploying targeted ads.

Step 5: Ensure effective execution: The key to effective account-based management is the detailed execution of campaigns. Unless the execution is precise, the efforts in planning goals may not be effective.

Step 6: Measure and optimize – Assess the performance of your ABM strategy frequently and make any modifications. This can assist you in figuring out what is and isn’t working so you can adjust as needed to better your outcomes.
