Making ABM Stick: How to Create Marketing and Sales Alignment that Lasts
Team alignment is a continued practice, not an item on a checklist. For better ABM success, companies need to create sustained sales and marketing alignment, which requires change management. | Originally aired on 5/24 at a Sales Hacker Masterclass
Key takeaways.
1
Effective ABM Requires a Holistic Approach.
Alignment does not mean that sales and marketing agree to the same goals and then work separately. They must truly partner and become co-creators and co-engagers.
2
Buy-In Means Understanding What’s In It For Them.
B2B businesses enable sustained alignment by giving their sales and marketing teams a concrete understanding of what ABM is, how it works and how it helps them win.
3
Change Management Drives Adoption and Business Value Realization.
To maximize ROI, B2B organizations must commit to ABM fully–from the C-suite to SDRs.
