Account selection

Score on fit before you spend a dollar.

Firmographics, technographics and intent decide who earns a place. Gates rule accounts in or out, weights set the order, and anything we can't tie to a top priority drops a tier.

Bottles of different sizes on a sunny shelf, tiered account based marketing programs

Tiers and clusters

Spend in proportion to the prize.

One to one programs for the handful of accounts that could change your year, one to few for clusters that share a problem, one to many for the long tail, run through automation.

Account research

Know the account better than its vendors do.

Strategic priorities, earnings calls, leadership changes, the tech they run and the roles they're hiring for. Job posts tell you what keeps a company up at night.

Multi-thread or lose the deal.

Three contacts minimum per account, mapped as champion, economic buyer, influencer and blocker, because a single threaded deal dies the day your champion changes jobs.

Account based marketing, explained

What is account based marketing?

Account based marketing (ABM) is a B2B go to market strategy where sales and marketing choose a defined set of high value accounts, research each one, map its buying committee and run coordinated plays across several channels. Success is measured by account coverage, engagement and pipeline, not lead volume.

FAQ

ABM questions

What is account based marketing?

Account based marketing is a B2B strategy where sales and marketing pick a set of target companies, map the people at each one and reach them on several channels with messages built for that account. Success is measured by accounts won instead of leads collected.

What does an account based marketing agency do?

An account based marketing agency builds the target account list, tiers it, researches the accounts, maps the buying committee, writes the plays for marketing and sales, runs the channels and reports how accounts move toward revenue. Leapyn writes the plays for reps, so sales never has to improvise the opener.

What are the three types of ABM?

The three types of ABM are one to one for a handful of high value accounts with custom programs, one to few for clusters of similar accounts, and one to many, which uses automation to personalize across a larger list.

How much does account based marketing cost?

Account based marketing from Leapyn is priced by the number of accounts, tiers and channels, quoted in writing, with media spend separate and retainer hours starting as low as $150 an hour. A pilot on a short list is the cheapest way to learn whether ABM works for you.

How do you do account based marketing?

To do account based marketing, pick accounts on fit and intent, tier them, research each one, map at least three people per account, then run coordinated plays across three or more channels. Leapyn plans fifteen or more touches per campaign, from LinkedIn ads and direct mail to personalized video and calls.

How many accounts should an ABM pilot target?

An ABM pilot should target few enough accounts to research properly. Leapyn works backward from your deal size and win rate to the number of accounts you need to win one deal, then starts there.

How is ABM different from inbound marketing?

ABM differs from inbound marketing because it picks the accounts first, while inbound casts a wide net and qualifies whoever responds. Most B2B companies run both, with inbound catching demand and ABM going after the accounts that matter most.

How do you measure account based marketing?

Measure account based marketing by coverage, engagement and impact, meaning whether you have the right contacts, whether they're spending time with you and whether ABM deals close faster, larger and more often. Leapyn scores target accounts weekly in HubSpot, so the movement is visible.
