ABM definitionaccount based marketing strategy

Plain-English definition

Instead of marketing broadly to anyone who might convert, ABM treats target accounts as markets that deserve tailored plays.

Why it matters

ABM can improve pipeline quality when target accounts are complex, high value, and require coordinated buying committee engagement.

Example

Marketing builds a custom executive briefing, sales sequences into the buying committee, and RevOps tracks engagement across one strategic account.

Common mistakes

Calling a named-account list ABM without personalization, ignoring sales capacity, or measuring only engagement instead of account progression.
