6-Weeks ABM Playbook

An actionable account-based marketing playbook and training to consistently land sales opportunities with your dream clients in 6 weeks or faster

Cut through the noise and get busy decision makers to respond to your campaigns without spammy outreach, wasting money on enterprise tech stack or expensive ip-based advertising, and significant shifts in the company’s organization.

The Account-Based Marketing strategy and campaigns we are sharing in this playbook can be executed by a team of 2 people (1 marketer + 1 sales) on a Ramen budget.

Four Opportunities In A Few Weeks & A $200 Budget

I wanted to learn a bit more about ABM but most courses aren’t action-based. They give you a lot of information and theory but it’s difficult to start the execution.

The best thing about this course was that it filled in this gap, I learned playbooks that I can repeat and refine every time. At first, I wasn’t 100% sure if this approach would work, but it did work amazingly. By following the steps in one of the playbooks from the course I managed to create a whole marketing strategy that fueled the growth of the company. In a few weeks, we built 10 unique relationships that turned into 4 opportunities for the company.

The best thing is the high ROI. We spent in total less than 200$ and the opportunities were worth thousands! But on top of that, the approach wasn’t “salesy” or pushy, and that’s what the client liked the most. We weren’t running display ads, we didn’t put anyone in a nurture sequence. All we did was focus on them and help them be better at their jobs while mentioning our expertise and that we are there if they need help.

Personally, I believe this course made me a much better marketer that understands the value of ABM and the alignment between sales and marketing. I know that it will have a huge impact on my career and the companies I will work with!

In the time it takes to write an in-depth article, you could run ABM campaigns that instantly add $1000s to your sales pipeline and land sales opportunities with dream accounts.

You know how important it is to land new dream accounts to accelerate revenue…

You want to launch predictable campaigns that generate meaningful meetings with the buying committee of big whale accounts without having to spend too much money, and then close deals faster…

You know to see marketing impact revenue and move the needle…

But here you are, running generic ads that promote demo calls that turn to no-shows, gated e-books or webinars that don’t convert to sales, desperately trying to cut through the noise and get busy decision makers to respond to your campaigns, and having a consistent feeling that marketing is underperforming.

You either heard about Account-Based Marketing (ABM) or tried it… but chances are it didn’t work for you.

ABM is full of myths and harmful advice created by enterprise MarTech vendors whose goal is to sell their expensive software. Myths like:

You need an expensive tech stack and 6-figure budget to invest

Army of copywriters to write a unique, exclusive content for every buying persona from dream accounts you want to do business with

Your company should be advance and mature to launch ABM

All campaigns are long plays and require big teams and heavy time investment, that makes you feel it’s not scalable

None of this is true.

We’ve launched campaigns with a $5k budget and generated $300k in sales pipeline with just 2 people (Andrei as marketer and 1 SDR from a client’s side) in North America.

We are in trenches every day and run ABM campaigns for Fullfunnel.io. When we just started, Vlad alone executed a pilot campaign in 6 weeks and $300 that generated 5 qualified opportunities and 1 sales from 20 target accounts.

Our clients consistently generate sales-qualified opportunities with dream accounts without significant shifts in their marketing and sales teams or heavy investments.

I didn’t learn ABM from the ebooks of Hubspot, DemandBase or other martech vendors. I started executing since my first corporate job at Kimberly Clark in 2007 without realizing it was called account-based marketing :).

Since that time we’ve tested and polished the ABM approaches in different industries (30+ in total): B2B manufacturing, B2B SaaS, Hardware, high-ticket services as software development, DevOps as a service, team performance coaching of corporate execs, etc.

Now we have documented the process and want to share it with you.

“7 opportunities from a pilot campaign.

We ended up with 7 opportunities from our Baltic campaign 🙂 So pretty good.

INTRODUCING 6-WEEKS ABM PLAYBOOK

You’ll get an actionable training, templates, process maps and a clear step by step plan on how you can implement ABM for different tier leads with the resources you already have. It is focused on the strategy, timeless principles and actionable campaign steps instead of generic, high level advice or tools that might become obsolete quickly.

After completing the playbook, you’ll have a minimal viable ABM programme that generates sales-qualified opportunities with your target accounts in 6 weeks or less.

The 6-Week ABM is a name we gave to a process to laser-target your best-fit accounts, warm them up, and use researched, personalized campaigns to connect and qualify them. It works on a Ramen budget without organizational shifts, fancy enterprise tech stack and expensive LinkedIn and IP-based ads.

HERE’S WHAT CLIENTS AND STUDENTS ARE SAYING

I have run an agency for 6 years, and I think I understand ABM very well. I still learned a ton from Andrei’s and Vladimir’s 6-week ABM course.

The course material is very actionable, with a lot of playbooks you can actually implement either for your own business or for your agency clients. The course does a great job of simplifying a topic that many marketers like to overcomplicate. There is none of the fluff you find in most other courses or blog articles online, and I would highly recommend signing up even if you’re an experienced marketer.

Several SQOs with target accounts from a pilot campaign

Andrei helped us to define the most promising market segments, narrow our positioning, and define a value proposition. As well, we learned our key clients buying and decision-making processes and figured out how to influence them.

We switched to an account-based marketing model, which helped us to generate several sales opportunities with target accounts.

This is one of the best #ABM courses I’ve taken so far, way above Demandbase content, no offense, I’ve completed one certification from them and enrolled in another one, so I know what I’m saying.

What I like the most:

👉 it has a clear structure end-to-end

👉 I really like the podcast, webinar, and research playbooks

👉 it has all the templates you’ll need to structure an ABM campaign

The warm-up programs convinced me right away that I need to sign up for this course.

WHO IS THIS COURSE NOT FOR

I want to provide a list of segments I think course is not for.

Mass-market low ticket SaaS

Coaches, bloggers and marketing influencers

Improved success rate of our campaigns.

Andrei provided our team with all the know-how we needed to successfully re-design our account-based marketing and sales processes, improve the success rate of our campaigns and provide our customers with a much better experience throughout their entire buyer’s journey.

If you’re like me, you know you need to try ABM, but you lack the structure to win buy-in from skeptical stakeholders. Andrei and Vlad provide a clear structure to run your first ABM campaign and to continually refine your ABM strategy.

We’ve created a 6-week action plan for 2 people (working 1-2 days a week) to set up a working pilot campaign. Some people get it done even faster. 

But it ultimately depends on how fast you get started and how much action you take. 

And addressing different ABM goals, and then optimizing, scaling and growing your ABM machine is an ongoing process.

What’s missing in this course that those other courses charge so much for?2021-09-27T16:32:11+02:00

There is no high production value here: no cameraperson, a set, or a big budget. 

We’re not sitting in a rented mansion or high rise luxury building to make ourselves look cooler, wealthier, or more interesting than we really are.

We’re shooting from our home offices in Split, Croatia and Valencia, Spain.

Why is it only $249?2021-09-27T20:44:54+02:00

Most courses are at least $500 and many are in thousands. What’s the deal?

We believe that learning should be affordable and accessible to as many people as possible. 

To sell expensive courses, many authors promise huge results, build their course out to be a silver-bullet, one-size-fits-all solution, and create false scarcity… which honestly makes our skin crawl. 

Our hope is that you’ll like the playbook and recommend it to other people that could benefit from it.

And did I mention that we come from Eastern Europe, where people hate to pay big bucks for a course? 😉
