Episode 91: ABM Team & Skillset for growth & scaling stages with Andrei Zinkevich & Vladimir Blagojević

Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnelABM TEAM & SKILLSETHere is the team & skillset you need if you want to consistently generate enterprise 6-figure deals 👇1. Senior ABM manager who is in charge of campaign orchestration, goal setting, developing playbooks for marketing and sales, and managing campaign execution.2. SDR who is in charge for activation of engaged accounts.3. Copywriter to write personalized pitches, landing pages, etc.4. Intent & research specialist.Most B2B companies skip this function because they neglect the importance of research. But if you want to land enterprise clients, you must do your homework:- Understanding account's needs, goals and priorities- Defining the goals and challenges of the buying committee members- Understanding at what buying stage the account currently is- Figuring out how well this account is aware of your productThese insights are priceless for a proper ABM execution.5. Designer is responsible for creatives, landing pages, and direct mail swag.--------These roles should be managed and coordinated by a senior ABM manager.Generating enterprise 6-figure deals requires a lot of customization and personalization, but many B2B companies do it the opposite way.They use the same tactics they used to sell to SMB or obsolete playbooks like:1. Create a wish list of accounts they want to have as clients2. Upload accounts to LinkedIn or 6sense/Demandbase3. Run display ads that lead to gated content or a landing page4. Track clicks and transfer the accounts who clicked the ads to sales5. Sales reach out But enterprise customers don't buy because they saw your "personalized" ad, or they loved your great gated report.They buy if:- They know, like, and trust your company- Every buying committee member sees how exactly your product might help and what's the ROIIt's 2022.Don't expect to generate enterprise 6-figure deals by running "growth hacks" or the same tactics you used to sell $10 subscriptions.Vladimir on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirblagojevic/Andrei on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azinkevich/On-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-cFull-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newslJoin our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogFrederic on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-linfjard/

Episode 90: ABM series: ABM maturity, stages + stack with Andrei Zinkevich & Vladimir Blagojević

Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐁2𝐁 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐀𝐁𝐌: 1. Create a wish list of accounts they want to have as clients2. Upload accounts to LinkedIn or 6sense/Demandbase3. Run display ads.4. Track clicks and transfer the accounts who clicked the ads to sales5. Sales reach out Results: - Low reply rates. - Huge ads spending.- Miserable ROI. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐀𝐁𝐌: 1. Start with team alignment on: - Goals- Metrics- ICP - Account qualification criteria- Segment value prop and positioning 2. Tier segmentation. 3. Create a small team for pilot campaigns. The ideal setup is: 1 marketer - 1 SDR - 1 geo market - 1 vertical - 10 accounts max. Make sure that those who are involved in the pilot campaign, can dedicate at least 80% of their time to execution. 4. Develop a minimal viable stack. If your goal is net new revenue, start with Sales Navigator and one source of intent data. If your goal is expansion, you'll need your CRM only. 4. Develop a simple ABM campaign structure including: - list building- account enrichment & research- warm up- activation- follow-ups & nurturing 5. Create a detailed playbook for the warm-up program. What works for us and our clients" - Demand and awareness via proactive thought leadership.- 1:few partnership webinars and market research with niche associations or communities- Personalized content hubs for buyer’s enablement and further nurturing- Drive engagement with strategic accounts via creative outreach and contextual ads 6. Develop an ABM dashboard with the most important metrics. Your dashboard should include revenue metrics (SQLs, win rate, revenue) and leading indicators that may vary depending on campaign goals. 7. Operationalize ABM processes before scaling. Everybody has other tasks and responsibilities. Make sure there is no overlap with ongoing marketing campaigns and plan how to turn a pilot campaign into regular operations.--- ABM is not a magic wand that can convert any company into a customer. You can't upload a wish list to ABM software and expect a 7-figure pipeline. You need to make appropriate shifts in your marketing and sales teams and have the necessary skillset to run and maintain ABM.Vladimir on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirblagojevic/Andrei on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azinkevich/On-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-cFull-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newslJoin our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogFrederic on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-linfjard/

Episode 88: How to use a personal brand to drive pipeline and revenue with Nick Bennett

Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnelJoin me and Nick Bennett, Director of Evangelism & Customer Marketing @ Alyce talking about how to use a personal brand to drive pipeline and revenue.​We cover:​+ What most people get wrong about personal branding​+ How to build a personal brand while working for a company​+ How to use a personal brand to drive pipeline​+ The core pillars of personal brandingWHY PERSONAL BRANDING?Here is what you hear about building a personal brand:- consistently show up- share the valuable content- be patient, and the results will come.But what if you don’t have time to consistently share content and hang out on LinkedIn?What if creating and sharing more posts on LinkedIn, publishing more articles, engaging with all the content that is shared won’t lead you to more revenue?If you have these questions, switch your focus and ask yourself instead:How to make sure my target accounts see and consume the content I’ve already created? How can I build a relationship with them?You don’t need more views, likes, or followers.You don’t need to hang out on LinkedIn 2-3 hours per day commenting on the posts of all the influencers “to be noticed” and “build the audience”.Your goal is to connect with your target accounts, nurture them, learn about their needs, and come up with solutions at the moment when they need them.If you are able to nurture 50-500 accounts with your content, you become a thought leader for them and the 1st vendor they’ll think about.That should be the end goal and key focus for everybody who is thinking about personal branding, not 10k followers.On-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-courses/Full-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newsletter/Join our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogNick on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickbennett1/

Episode 82: Building a content marketing team at B2B tech companies with Erin Balsa

Sign up to all live workshops and podcasts here: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel5 most common content marketing & demand generation mistakes B2B companies with a high ACV make.1. Lack of customer insights in content strategy.Focusing on providing answers to the questions your target audience is interested in generates more opportunities than generic top-of-the-funnel articles for high-traffic keywords.Companies miss one point:The goal of the content is not generating traffic but generating demand and more sales-qualified opportunities.Simple formula: in-depth answer to buyer’s questions + your expertise/examples = demand.2. Copying B2C/e-commerce.more articles - more keywords + longtails - more traffic - more revenue works in B2C but not in B2B.The quality of content in B2B over weighs the quantity.3. Hiring cheap writers.Hiring cheap writers or writing content with an AI assistant is the easiest way to fall down. Your market will immediately recognize low-quality content and will ignore you.4. Copying giants.Until you are building a new sales or marketing community like Sales Hacker, you don’t need to have a blog like HubSpot to generate quality B2B leads.Otherwise, after 6 months of publishing dozens of blog posts, hundreds of social media updates, you’ll realize this has had a miserable impact on your bottom line.5. Developing content funnels.Demand generation is not linear.If a person downloads an ebook or signs up for your webinar, it means they are interested in the topic, not your product. If you are going to send these contacts to sales, you’ll burn out your pipeline fast.What if marketing stepped out from the keyword research for their content strategy and set down with sales asking about questions, concerns, needs, and challenges across the buying journey?What if sales invited customers to contribute to the content?Then content starts resonating with a target addressable market.Sales proactively distribute it to the target accounts because they have a good reason for a non-sales touch.Customers happily share the content inside their organization and with their network.Sales get lots of pieces of content to share on social media.This simple shift leads to inbound opportunities and opens doors to engage target accounts way better than expensive ip-based ads, gated e-books, or virtual events your audience doesn’t care about.That’s why a content engine is crucial for long-term success.I sat down with Erin Balsa to chat about building a content marketing team and creating a content engine at B2B tech companies.We are covering:1. How to hire great writers and content marketers.2. The minimal viable content team: roles and functions you need3. How to develop a great content strategy even if your market is boring and conservative.4. How to attract attention to your content and generate demandErin on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinbalsa/RESOURCESOn-Demand B2B Marketing Courses: https://fullfunnel.io/b2b-marketing-courses/Full-Funnel Insider - A Marketing Newsletter For B2B Marketers: https://fullfunnel.io/marketing-newsletter/Join our community for B2B marketers - The Trenches: https://sendfox.com/trenchesUpcoming events: https://lu.ma/fullfunnel/eventsFull-Funnel Marketing Content Hub: https://fullfunnel.io/blogGet 10% off Happier Leads - website identification software: https://happierleads.com?via=fullfunnel - apply code ANDREI.
