ABM Strategy 2.0

Live Bootcamp

To be announced

Twelve hands-on workshops to develop Account-Based Marketing strategy, refine ICP, build a list of accounts with a need for your product, warm up the buying committee and generate sales opportunities.

EVEN if your buyers are not active on social platforms, or you are targeting niche, conservative markets — and WITHOUT any ABM software.

with Andrei Zinkevych
& Vladimir Blagojevic

This Course Is For You, If...

Work for or consult B2B companies with 5+ figure deals, and long sales cycles

Want to grow marketing-sourced revenue, go upmarket, and generate sales opportunities with enterprise companies

Want to develop skills that will help you to run efficient ABM programs

Six questions to evaluate
if ABM is the right fit for you

Long sales cycle (>180 days)

If your sales cycle is short and transactional, I’d recommend focusing on demand capturing activities (ads, SEO, cold outreach) instead of ABM

ACV (average contract value) >$30k

Will it pay off to proactively market and prospect a specific set of accounts? I suggest considering ABM if the LTV or ACV of your best customers is higher than $30k

Multiple buyers are involved in vendor evaluation and buying processes

If you usually deal with multiple people who influence the buying decision, ABM is a perfect strategy

Hybrid sales: product + consulting + best practices training

ABM is extremely important when you don’t only sell product, but also sell your expertise in solving challenges your buyers have

TAM < 1000 companies

If your market is limited to 500-1000 companies across the globe, you have no other choices than ABM

Dedicated ABM team

Can we create a dedicated ABM team (starting with 1 marketer and 1 SDR), without pipeline pressure and has time to build ABM motion?

Four more questions
to evaluate your ABM maturity

if you answer no to some questions, it means that during the bootcamp, you’ll need to pay attention to the related sessions to increase your odds of success

Do we have clear ICP and account qualification criteria to build a list of companies that are likely to buy our product?

Do we have a value proposition and collateral for a specific vertical and roles?

Do we have a clear playbook to create awareness inside target accounts, generate demand, and activate them?

Do we have an alignment between marketing, sales, and executives on how to measure the campaign’s progress and performance?

You’ll come out with a campaign in six weeks

Here is how ABM is done in most B2B companies… and the ugly truth behind it

Create a wishlist of accounts

The ugly truth
Everybody wants to land Fortune-500 companies, but if they have 0 need for your product, you’re going to waste your budget. But this is what most companies do. They source ABM programs with accounts that are “great to have as clients” without any intent to buy. As a result, both marketing and sales waste time and money on marketing and prospecting companies that will NEVER buy your product.

Upload accounts to LinkedIn or to ABM software and warm them up with ads

The ugly truth
Uploading a list of accounts to LinkedIn or 6sense isn’t a warm-up campaign, it’s just one channel tactic that often gets ignored. You need to warm up target accounts with meaningful engagement via social channels, co-marketing and content co-creation, micro-events, etc. The key to warm-up is getting a chance to have 1–1 conversations.

Track ad clicks, webinar sign-ups and gated content downloads, then send these contacts to sales

The ugly truth

A download or a sign-up is NOT a buying intent. 5+ figure buyers don’t download an e-book and get “nurtured” into an opportunity with an email sequence.

They click or download out of curiosity. Otherwise, they’d click the contact form and book a call with a sales team, it’s not that hard 🙂

These ABM approaches result in:

  • Low reply rates
  • Huge ad spend and CAC
  • Miserable ROI
  • Sales and execs losing trust in marketing, lowering budgets, and turning marketing into a reactive order-taker

You don’t need a large team, an expensive tech stack, a 6-figure ad budget, nor an army of copywriters to create exclusive content for every buying persona from target accounts.

All you need is the right ABM Framework to: 
1. Identify accounts with a need, and with an awareness of your brand
2. Connect, engage and start conversations with target buyers
3. Leverage account data and insights for personalized messaging

Introducing: ABM Strategy 2.0 Live Bootcamp

Over 12 actionable sessions, in 6 weeks, you will launch a pilot ABM campaign and start conversations with the target buyers while defining a clear ICP with account qualification criteria, leverage intent data to identify accounts that are already aware of your product, run warm up tactics to connect, engage and start conversations with target buyers, do account research and write 100% personalized proposals to present your product as a solution, not pitch.

Four ways this bootcamp is different from other Account-Based Marketing courses:

1. Interactive practical workshops.

Instead of passively consuming content, we’ll work together on developing a clear ICP, creating account qualification criteria and leveraging intent data for account list building, running warm up campaigns, doing account research and writing personalized proposals to target buyers.

2. Real-time feedback.

Get feedback from Andrei and Vlad, who are in trenches every day, running ABM campaigns for FullFunnel.io and our clients.

You’ll be going through the same steps with a community of peers to learn from, and to keep you accountable.

3. ABM process for marketing and sales teams

Identify, prospect, engage and generate enterprise sales opportunities without shifts in your organization, big budgets or expensive ABM software.

4. Real examples of ABM campaigns.

Including behind the scenes of FulllFunnel.io’s ABM campaigns that generated $10M in revenue for our clients last year.

Four Opportunities in a Few Weeks, With a $200 Budget

I wanted to learn 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 our 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 tens of 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!
