There have been 2 recent revolutions in ABM:

  • Marketing has been catching up to sales in terms of the importance of understanding ABM.
  • The tool sets available to today’s B2B marketer have exploded.

The elements that you need in place to do account-based are, fundamentally, things you should already be doing as a B2B marketer.

On this episode, I interview John Common about the implications of these 2 truths to the appreciation & application of ABM.

What we talked about:

  • What ABM isn’t (tools or single-use tactics)
  • What ABM is (strategy that stands on the pillars of B2B growth success)
  • Cross industry ABM application is huge

This #ABM series is co-hosted by Kris Rudeegraap, CEO of Sendoso.

We've interviewed names 9 00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:47.329 you've probably heard before, like Gary Vannerd truck and Simon Senek, but you've 10 00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:51.479 probably never heard from the majority of our guests. That's because the bulk of 11 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.079 our interviews aren't with professional speakers and authors. Most of our guests are in 12 00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.759 the trenches, leading sales and marketing teams. They're implementing strategy, they're experimenting 13 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.430 with tactics, they're building the fastest growing BB companies in the world. My 14 00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:07.829 name is James Carberry. I'm the founder of sweet fish media, a podcast 15 00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:11.390 agency for BB brands, and I'm also one of the cohosts of this show. 16 00:01:12.069 --> 00:01:15.750 When we're not interviewing sales and marketing leaders, you'll hear stories from behind 17 00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:19.060 the scenes of our own business. Will share the ups and downs of our 18 00:01:19.099 --> 00:01:25.099 journey as we attempt to take over the world. Just getting well, maybe 19 00:01:25.579 --> 00:01:34.409 let's get into the show. Hello everyone, welcome back to the BTB growth 20 00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:38.650 podcast, ABM series. I'm Christo to grap CEO of Sendoso and one of 21 00:01:38.689 --> 00:01:42.730 the hosts of the show. I'm joined here today by John Common, CEO 22 00:01:42.810 --> 00:01:47.719 of intelligent demand. Welcome to the show, John, Hey Chris, great 23 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.280 to be here. Thank you. Yea. So, for the listeners who 24 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.519 don't know about intelligent man, can you give like a brief intro? And 25 00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:00.400 you bet so. Intelligent demand, we're we're a Bob Growth Agency and what 26 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.629 we do is we help marketers become revenue leaders. You know, the way 27 00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:09.909 we do that is by helping the CMOS and the VPS who hire us to 28 00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:15.259 help them to design and build and perfect integrated growth programs. That's what we 29 00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:20.259 call integrated growth programs, and what they are designed to do is to connect 30 00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:25.620 the dots in a way that targets specific business needs, like we need to 31 00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:31.210 acquire new customers, so acquisition, or we need to reduce customer churn ran 32 00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:36.569 retention, or we need to cross sell up cell lands and expand with existing 33 00:02:36.650 --> 00:02:40.490 customers or, you know, expansion and those integrated programs that we do together 34 00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:46.639 with our clients. It's all about translating, you know, targeted business goals 35 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.319 to the right integrated strategy, bringing that Integrated Strang energy to life with Integrated 36 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.150 Omni channel campaigns. And then the most important part is connecting that to measurable 37 00:02:59.909 --> 00:03:05.349 results. And we've been doing it for a decade with all kinds of clients, 38 00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:07.469 cross lots of different industries, but, you know, account based is 39 00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:13.099 a really central, really central piece of what we do. So it's really 40 00:03:13.139 --> 00:03:15.819 cool to be here today talking to you on this ABM series. Yeah, 41 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:19.620 likewise, you know, what I find interesting is that, you know, 42 00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:23.379 you've been around for about a decade now, I would guess, to make 43 00:03:23.460 --> 00:03:29.050 that abms maybe been around for about half that time. So how have you 44 00:03:29.449 --> 00:03:32.889 evolved as an agency or do you have any kind of perspective based on kind 45 00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:37.289 of ABM coming into play, or do you think you've always been doing abm. 46 00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:40.560 They're just well for it. Yeah, yeah, so you know a 47 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.080 couple things about that. You know, if you could talk to a if 48 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.960 you could talk to a salesperson, a B tob sales leader, and you 49 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.800 say tell me about ABM, they say, and correctly so I think they 50 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.750 say, what is all this ABM talk? I've been doing it since day 51 00:03:55.830 --> 00:04:01.270 one. Right. So, Bab sales and successful sellers have always been thinking 52 00:04:01.270 --> 00:04:05.389 about accounts. Right. So I think what has happened over the last decade 53 00:04:05.949 --> 00:04:10.539 and certainly the last five years, as you pointed out, is that marketing 54 00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:15.180 has been catching up, frankly, and two sales. And I know that's 55 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:16.459 a weird thing to say, but I think it's actually kind of true, 56 00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:20.980 catching up two sales relative to the importance, kind of the central importance, 57 00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:26.850 of understanding that if you don't target the right accounts, it kind of doesn't 58 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:30.410 matter man. Right. So there's that piece totally. And then the other 59 00:04:30.569 --> 00:04:35.649 thing that's been happening, obviously, is the tool sets and the best practice 60 00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:43.279 is available to today's be tob marketer just you know, has exploded and that's 61 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.600 mostly a good thing. And the reason I say mostly is obviously marketers can 62 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.189 can do things today at an account level as well as a contact or human 63 00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:57.910 level, that they just haven't been able to do in the past, especially 64 00:04:58.430 --> 00:05:01.430 when you start to think about how do you scale a truly effective account based 65 00:05:01.470 --> 00:05:06.699 program just the capabilities, the tools, the best practices exist today that just 66 00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:10.379 this warn in place, you know, five, six, seven years ago. 67 00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:15.339 Now. The other side of me saying mostly is, you know, 68 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:17.620 you know where I'm going around. It is, is that all of that, 69 00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:20.850 all of those tools, all of those buzz words, all of those 70 00:05:20.889 --> 00:05:25.529 strategies and tactics, you know, comes comes to the cost, right, 71 00:05:25.569 --> 00:05:29.850 because I think I think the goal of driving revenue as a be to be 72 00:05:30.329 --> 00:05:34.050 marketing leader. Today, while you have more tools and opportunities than ever before, 73 00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:38.480 I think it's never been more complex, right. So I think it's 74 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.439 a good thing, but I think it comes with some complexity that has to 75 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.000 be that has to be managed by marketing teams. Yeah, and on that 76 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.389 point, you know, I think with account based marketing it kind of spills 77 00:05:49.430 --> 00:05:54.470 over into a lot of different marketing roles. Are you seeing a kind of 78 00:05:54.509 --> 00:05:58.310 ABM play and marketing ops and demand Jin and is that something that you guys 79 00:05:58.310 --> 00:06:00.829 are are chiming in on and helping with. Yeah, this is my take 80 00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:04.019 and this is this is intelligent demands point of view as well. About about 81 00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:09.420 account based. You know, I think you can think about account based kind 82 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.860 of tactically, right, and and I well, I let me, let 83 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.220 me take it even a step further. I think that it would be incorrect, 84 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.649 and I see it all the time, though, is it? People 85 00:06:17.649 --> 00:06:21.170 can reduce account based down to literally a tool, right, or a tech 86 00:06:21.250 --> 00:06:26.129 or a single tactic. I think that we know that that's that's a mistake. 87 00:06:26.170 --> 00:06:30.810 Right. Account based is not a software platform. Account based isn't just, 88 00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:34.600 for instance, advertising. So I think most people who've been thinking about 89 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.720 and doing account based now for a year, two or three kind of we're 90 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.199 past that. We know that account based isn't a tactic, but I think 91 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.670 we're still seeing pockets where people perceive account based as a as a strategy, 92 00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:51.470 which is which is correct, I believe, right. And so when you're 93 00:06:51.509 --> 00:06:56.550 planning out your go to market for your company, not everything you should do 94 00:06:57.269 --> 00:07:00.029 has to be account based, right, and and in fact it shouldn't be. 95 00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.779 I mean, there's still a role, I think, for one too 96 00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:09.019 many kind of Demanjin it frankly, most, almost all of the companies that 97 00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:13.899 we work with. They're still a need for demnation and there's also clearly more 98 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.569 and more a need for account based. But if you know from our perspective, 99 00:07:16.649 --> 00:07:24.610 if you really look at what account based requires a company to do and 100 00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:27.569 you appeel that back, what what? What we see in our point of 101 00:07:27.569 --> 00:07:31.319 view is that you see that there are really seven or eight key pillars that, 102 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.079 if you if you look at him, you go, Oh, yeah, 103 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.319 that's what you have to do to account based. But if you spend 104 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.040 the cube just a little bit, you realize, wait a minute, account 105 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.670 based is is now forcing us and guiding us to do the things, frankly, 106 00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:47.389 that we should have always been doing all along. Right, and so 107 00:07:47.509 --> 00:07:50.430 what are some of those things? Like, example, Account Bay says, 108 00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:53.949 okay, if you want to be if you want to succeed with a count 109 00:07:53.949 --> 00:08:00.500 based you had better take cross functional alignment and orchestration seriously. Right, if 110 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:01.420 I say that to your like, Yep, you got to do that for 111 00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:05.620 count based. Yeah. Well, my total, I think, will be 112 00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:09.220 to be revenue man like. You got to be kind. And all those 113 00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:11.500 years that we were doing to manage in and throwing leads over the wall to 114 00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:16.569 sales. That didn't work back then in either. You know what I mean. 115 00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:20.009 Yeah, and here's here's another example of something really like. Oh, 116 00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:22.050 you're going to go do account based. Well, you're going to have to 117 00:08:22.170 --> 00:08:26.209 really get serious about your data, the quality of your data, at the 118 00:08:26.290 --> 00:08:30.079 account level, at the demand unit level, at the cont well, okay, 119 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.720 that's true. If you're going to do account based and succeed, you 120 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.519 got to get serious. But data, well, my point is you got 121 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.080 to get serious about that, no matter whether you're doing a count baste or 122 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.120 not. And so what I love about a count base is that it is. 123 00:08:41.429 --> 00:08:45.750 It is in the reason I think it's been transforming be to be revenue 124 00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:50.629 growth is because not only is it a useful go to market strategy inside of 125 00:08:50.629 --> 00:08:54.029 account based, it contains the pillars for how to be successful with be to 126 00:08:54.029 --> 00:08:56.779 be revenue growth. and Are you seeing, you know, either with your 127 00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.500 clients or just across the industry, it's really, you know, from the 128 00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:03.539 fortune five hundred all the way to kind of smaller startups strategy and approach. 129 00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:07.659 Yeah, I mean we're doing account base right now with SMB's. We're doing 130 00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:11.809 it with mid market accounts we're doing it with some of the largest companies in 131 00:09:11.850 --> 00:09:16.370 the world and so you know, those campaigns or the programs always start. 132 00:09:16.409 --> 00:09:18.889 Say Again, we say, Chris, say what about some of the cross 133 00:09:18.889 --> 00:09:22.690 industry stuff? Like, I know, looking on your website, like Heiser 134 00:09:22.769 --> 00:09:26.279 Permanente, do you see that, like, you know, they're are a 135 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720 be to be company, but it looks like they're a client hears. Are 136 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.159 you seeing this fall outside of be to be companies or, you know, 137 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.960 is this completely just a be to be strategy? I think it's primarily a 138 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.629 be to be strategy and interestingly, a healthcare companies like Kaiser actually a huge 139 00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:43.110 piece of what they do is be. You you might not. Actually that's 140 00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:46.629 a good point too. Write like you know, hell, yeah, but 141 00:09:46.750 --> 00:09:50.269 these they sell. I think it's like sixty plus percent of people still get 142 00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:54.940 their healthcare through their employer, which means that healthcare is a be to be 143 00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:58.179 industry, which is yeah, but yeah, whether it's healthcare or telecom or 144 00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:03.299 technology or business services, all these verticals that we work in, what we're 145 00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:07.129 seeing is that account based approaches and account based programs have a really important role 146 00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:11.450 of play, regardless of the industry, as long as it's be to be 147 00:10:11.929 --> 00:10:15.289 and regardless of the company size. And again, the reason at that is 148 00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:18.889 the case is because at the core of account based it comes to a company, 149 00:10:18.929 --> 00:10:24.240 it says, if you want to grow revenue in a more efficient way, 150 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.799 you should start by asking yourself who were the accounts that matter the most 151 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.559 to me, that are the most valuable and where we have the highest chance 152 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.549 of winning. That's just a good idea, man. That's just a good 153 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:41.590 idea for any kind of thing. Yeah, you Lo this earlier in terms 154 00:10:41.629 --> 00:10:45.909 of like the text Stac expansion because of ABM and some of the interesting things 155 00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:48.789 you could do with that. Are you seeing that is in increased kind of 156 00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:54.899 service offering where you're helping companies kind of manage that expanded Martech sales tech and 157 00:10:56.019 --> 00:11:00.220 the stack now that there's more tools to do more things to be more successful? 158 00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:05.009 Yeah, yeah, well, the typical intelligent demand client, when we 159 00:11:05.210 --> 00:11:09.889 meet them, they normally already have access to pretty robust text act right. 160 00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:15.529 I mean know, the what I jokingly call the MARTEC industrial complex has done 161 00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:18.480 a has done a really good of selling software to marketers, right, and 162 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.639 what I think the opportunity is is to help more marketing teams actually extract more 163 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.240 value and more return on investment from those software licenses that they have. So 164 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.509 when we engage with a client, the first thing we like to do is 165 00:11:37.029 --> 00:11:45.070 put in place and integrated strategy and a program execution that helps them quickly maximize 166 00:11:45.149 --> 00:11:50.379 the value for the software they're already own right and then, as we as 167 00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:54.940 we make that happen together with them, will also look for and we will 168 00:11:54.019 --> 00:12:00.340 bring to the table opportunities for them to fill in maybe some critical gaps where 169 00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:03.850 they don't have the functionality that they need to, you know, execute their 170 00:12:03.889 --> 00:12:07.289 revenue growth strategy, and obviously Sin Dooso's a legitimately a great example of that. 171 00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:13.769 We're bringing Sindoso into a bunch of accounts where we're doing account based work 172 00:12:13.009 --> 00:12:16.639 and there's a whole bunch of other partners of ours that we bring to the 173 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.279 table. But again, our bias is to is to start by helping them 174 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.639 get more value out of the spend they're already making. That makes total sense. 175 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.840 Last question here before I let you go, John. Do you have 176 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.309 any two thousand and twenty predictions for account based anything that you're kind of seeing 177 00:12:33.590 --> 00:12:37.389 on the early horizon or or anything that you're doubled downing on. HMM, 178 00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:41.549 yeah, Oh man. Okay, well, let's a couple things. What 179 00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:43.779 you know? We knew and I've talked about this before, but you know, 180 00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:48.500 the bay area is a place for innovation. It's also it's also where 181 00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:54.299 it's some of the biggest megaphones in our industry reside, and by megaphones I 182 00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:58.139 mean, you know, speakers in the industry where it's like hey, this 183 00:12:58.179 --> 00:13:01.610 is this is what's coming in the industry, and so I think it obviously 184 00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:05.049 the on the topic of account based you know, that megaphone has been pumping, 185 00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:11.009 you know, ABM for three, four years now, and so what 186 00:13:11.129 --> 00:13:16.360 I see in two thousand and twenty is an acceleration of account based marketing, 187 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.679 crossing the chasm from kind of early adopt innovator kinds of marketing teams to, 188 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.629 I think we're seeing the early majority start to really move through the various phases 189 00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:31.350 of the account base marketing journey. You know, and at a high level, 190 00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:35.149 this is how I see those phases working. You know, it's denial, 191 00:13:35.549 --> 00:13:37.909 is the first phase, right where they're like as just a buzz word, 192 00:13:37.909 --> 00:13:41.620 it's not real. Yeah, we moved from denial to preparing and preparing, 193 00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:45.620 the preparing phase of account basis, when you're like, Oh, wait 194 00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:48.659 a minute, maybe this isn't just a buzz word. I need to learn 195 00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:52.299 more. And then you need from preparing to pilot, where you go, 196 00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:56.730 okay, I think account Basse could really work here at this company. Let's 197 00:13:56.889 --> 00:14:01.450 let's really try it in a scrappy way and see if if we can actually 198 00:14:01.490 --> 00:14:03.370 draw blood, see if we can really make a difference. And then you 199 00:14:03.450 --> 00:14:07.730 go from preparing, sorry, from piloting, to scaling, which is, 200 00:14:07.889 --> 00:14:11.159 you know, a whole other set of problems and challenges and opportunities we have. 201 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.600 Okay, I did it once with duct tape, but what if I 202 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.080 was going to do this, you know, across my entire go to market 203 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.840 strategy? And so I think, I think that in two thousand and twenty 204 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.710 we're going to see a whole lot more marketing teams moving out of prepare and 205 00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:28.830 to pilot and moving out a pilot and scale. So that's one kind of 206 00:14:28.990 --> 00:14:33.389 big thing that we predict. Obviously, I think we're already seeing more and 207 00:14:33.509 --> 00:14:37.549 more consolidation within the within the MARTEK world. I predict, and not not 208 00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:39.539 the only one who thinks this, but I think we're going to see more 209 00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:45.500 consolidation within text technology companies. And then the third thing, and this is 210 00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:48.379 something that I'm trying to I'm trying to bring together to the market more so 211 00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:54.570 with intelligent demand my team here is whether you're doing demandin or count based, 212 00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:58.450 whether you're focused on acquisition or customer experience or, you know, expansion, 213 00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:03.409 wherever you are in that in terms of corporate priorities. You know, after 214 00:15:03.450 --> 00:15:07.679 doing this for a decade, I'm kind of sick and tired of seeing marketers 215 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.879 be down in that kind of integrated campaign layer trying to do their best job 216 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.960 to make a successful campaign happen. And what I'm tired of, frankly, 217 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:26.669 in my career is watching marketers toil and that space without the cross functional alignment 218 00:15:26.710 --> 00:15:31.990 and guidance that they need from from the executive team their company. And so 219 00:15:31.269 --> 00:15:35.710 what is the solution to that? Is, I think what we're doing more 220 00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:39.580 and more with our clients is is helping them get serious about their go to 221 00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:45.659 market strategy G and get really serious about for them to hit the revenue goal, 222 00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:48.500 what is the right mix for their go to market strategy and how do 223 00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:54.289 they, as a company get cross functionally aligned once and for all around that 224 00:15:54.409 --> 00:15:58.929 go to market strategy and I think that's a huge opportunity for two thousand and 225 00:15:58.929 --> 00:16:02.970 twenty. And if a company gets even twenty percent better at go to market 226 00:16:02.970 --> 00:16:07.200 strategy and cross functional alignment, they're going to see all of their campaigns to 227 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.279 mansion account based whatever they're going to see them get tremendously higher return on investment 228 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.080 from their campaigns and their programs.
