B2B marketing has evolved beyond mass outreach, where generic campaigns such as- email blasts or the same content or message, no longer deliver the desired impact. Decision-makers across the United States expect a personalized experience by understanding their personal needs and challenges they are facing. Salesforce states that around 70% of B2B buyers today expect personalized experience and vendors to understand their unique needs and preferences. They mostly expect personalized and relevant communication from vendors. Companies that focus on a broader segment with a single content or a template often struggle to reach and engage the right decision-makers in a meaningful way. This is where B2B account based marketing (ABM) steps in.
In this blog we’ll explore how ABM transforms your B2B lead generation efforts, increase ROI, and how companies like Vereigen Media help businesses execute ABM with precision for better results.
Why Traditional B2B Lead Generation Often Falls Short
Most of the B2B marketers rely on broad lead-generation tactics, collecting generic lists and blasting emails and sending messages without considering account-level priorities. These approaches can result in wasted marketing spend, low engagement rates, and a disconnect between marketing initiatives and sales outcomes.
This often results in:
- Low engagement rates due to poor sales and marketing alignment.
- The broad targeting often leads to poor quality leads misaligning your ideal profile.
- Outdated tactics slow the sales cycles and results in missed revenue opportunities.
- Misaligned ICP increases campaign costs without a measurable impact.
What Makes Account-Based Marketing Different in B2B?
Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is different in B2B as it focuses mainly on the high-value customers, aligning with your ICP. We target such ideal profiles for quality over quantity with personalized messaging for B2B campaigns, rather than the broader approach of traditional lead generation work. We make sure that every lead entering into your workflow is genuine and has potential for your campaign.
Key components of ABM are:
- Account Selection
- Personalized messaging
- Sales and marketing alignment
- Multi-channel outreach
- Track, Measure, and Optimize
ABM doesn’t focus on broader terms to generate leads, it focuses only on high-value audiences to generate the right leads with precision.
Why ABM Works for Modern B2B Buyers
Today’s B2B buyers are not looking for generic pitches, so they have shifted from broad marketing tactics to personalized targeting high-value accounts. 71% of customers are expecting personalized experiences, and those experiences make 80% of the customers more likely to purchase (Source: thecmo).
With complex buying committees, personalization often extends beyond one individual, it often targets the entire decision-making unit by understanding their pain points.
How ABM Solves Common B2B Marketing Challenges
In solving challenges of B2B marketing, it’s now necessary to rely on the ABM than on the traditional lead generation. This ABM strategy helps focus on personalized outreach rather than generic outreach, considering the same content and message for all. Below are some pain points where ABM solves B2B marketing challenges:
1. Focusing on Quality not Quantity
Today’s B2B marketers are often expecting personalization from vendors to consider and understand their every pain point. This helps vendors focus on a particular pain point and curate content or messages by targeting high-value accounts to generate quality leads. This approach helps to engage with high-potential accounts that most likely become valuable, long-term customers.
