Datanyze does ABM right. It’s not just theory. We do it in a smart fashion. 2016 was the year to talk about Account-Based Marketing. 2017 is the year to actually do it, and here’s how Datanyze is executing.
There are many, many different frameworks for ABM. But they always, always boil down to these essential steps – no matter how you describe them.
We use both technographic and firmographic attributes to create ideal customer profile
-CRM or Marketing Automation platform (tech) + size of marketing and sales team (outsourced via UpWork) are the main two attributes.
-techs helps us define level of sophistication; size of team helps us understand size of potential opportunity
These are top leads - you’ll notice that they are spending a lot on the marketing and sales side. This means they are more sophisticated in their approach.
Under the account-based approach, we’ve identified three major stakeholder in a deal
-Champion: can be sales or marketing, but usually owns the sales development team
-Evaluator: sales or marketing ops -- these folks are in charge of tool onboarding and adoption. Also hold the keys to the CRM or MAP, so they are more of a technical review
-Signer: usually VPM or VPS. This person gets involved later in the deal.
Creation of the “revenue team”. Roles included in team include CRO (Ben), Marketing Director, Marops, Sales Ops, VPS and Sales Dev Mgr
-this team is in charge of the funnel; top to bottom. Close alignment between marketing and sales development in particular.
Go through the inbound flow.. Pretty self explanatory
-MQL threshold is 43

Anddddd.. Just in case he’s out to lunch, a mobile hipchat notification :)
And if you don’t reply? We’ve got a report for that. Creating MQL timestamp field...
Why the hell do we do all this? BECAUSE RESPONSE TIME MATTERS!! (should maybe find better stat, I dunno there’s a bunch). LeanData added that a landmark insidesales.com study found the odds of qualifying a lead are 21 times greater if there was a response within five minutes versus 30 minutes.
Shift gears to attribution -- briefly run through some of the different campaign touches we track from a sales and marketing perspective.
Key point -- since all of our attribution is tied to the CAMPAIGN OBJECT, we are able to measure sales and marketing using a standardized criteria. That criteria is CAMPAIGN WEIGHTING.
Here’s a look at our LeanData campaign weights - notice that we allocate more points to Sales and in-person touches.
