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/

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/

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.

Perfect Customer ProfileLanding enterprise deals takes a LOT of your team’s time and resources.So you want to make sure you’re working on the RIGHT opportunities that you can close.Ryan Staley shares a simple 5X5X5 framework to nail the perfect customer profile. Look at:- 5 largest deals you won- 5 fastest deals you won- 5 largest deals you lost2. Referrals For RevenueWord of mouth is the KEY influencers in making B2B purchase decisions.The good news is that 83% of the customers are open to providing a referral... if you know WHEN and HOW to ask for it.The key is to choose a peak moment, do your homework, and make it super-easy for your customer to say yes.3. Sales Operating SystemSales is not about specific tactics, but a proven end-to-end process.Ryan shares two key sales operating systems(1) The Whale Scale – the targeting and sales system to eitherA. Move up market consistently in terms of the average deal sizeB. Focus brand-new enterprise team or enterprise GTM on 80K+ average deal sizes for exponential growth.The beautiful thing is if you implement the move upmarket strategy over 5 years a 2x growth would lead to 36x’ing your deal size(2) Expansion Scale – focused on the Life Time Value and deal expansion. Most $1m-$30m companies walk right by this one because they either have an untrained CSM trying to upsell or an undefined sales process for expansion/upsell revenue.RESOURCESContinue learning: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecretsCheck out Ryan’s podcast The Scale Up Show: https://open.spotify.com/show/39FMS44jbijarB1VR55klaAnd reach out to him via his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-staley/
