Workshop description

  • Module 1: Strategic ABM and Account Planning 101. During this module, the fundamental methods of Strategic ABM and Account Planning will be defined. The objective is to ensure participants understand the basics of each discipline before moving on to explore how they work together.
    • Strategic ABM versus Programmatic ABM
    • The engagement models for SAM/KAM and Strategic ABM
    • Define how Strategic ABM and Account Planning work together
  • Module 2: Live Case Review. For each session a company demonstrating leadership in the integration of Sales and Marketing to improve Strategic Customer Engagement will present their journey of work. The objective is to recognize that incorporating Strategic ABM is still relatively new so sharing real examples helps to demonstrate the following benefits:
    • Establishing the Business Case for Strategic ABM
    • Demonstrating the work required to execute
    • Showcasing a real example that can be used as reference for all participants
  • Module 3: Integrate and Scale Strategic ABM and Account Planning. In this module we will review and show how the work activities executed by Strategic ABM and the KAM/SAM can be combined to improve Customer Engagement. The objective is to provide a practical approach for getting Sales and Marketing to work together in the context of managing the company’s largest, most important customers by:
    • Identifying Plays that can and should be incorporated into Account Plans
    • Building Playbooks that SAM/KAMs will use to address customer goals and outcomes
    • Helping the KAM/SAM generate the Account Plan using Playbooks
    • Demonstrating the use of Technology to generate Data, Analytics, Proprietary Insights and Scale
