Master ABM and Conversational Marketing, for Your Blackbelt in Conversational ABM

Even though we sell to companies, we market to people. And with tech innovation, our audiences demand increasingly personalized brand experiences. So if personalization is mission-critical for B2B, then Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is table stakes. But we recognize that personalization can be tricky waters to navigate. The mere thought can create a fair amount of agita in the most experienced marketers. Multiple studies* show that personalized content is the most effective way to engage target accounts. But we realize it’s also the most difficult to execute. That’s why we love Conversational ABM.

Enter Conversational ABM

Conversational ABM is a combination of the superpowers of ABM and Conversational Marketing. ABM allows you to target the right accounts, while Conversational Marketing gets you a personalized conversation with the buyer. Put those together and you get a powerful strategy that moves the right accounts down the funnel with ridiculous efficiency.

Harness the Power

Here’s how it works. The moment that an account is on your site is when their buying intent is the highest. That’s when you want to grab their attention. But most people these days don’t want to fill out forms. So how do you get their information for follow up? This is where Conversational ABM comes in. It gives you the option to chat with your web visitors in real-time. Imagine: an immediate and direct line to your best accounts without betting on form fills or lead report wait times. What? More qualified accounts, shorter sales cycles, increased ROI, and a better experience for buyers. Mind-blowing.
