It’s time to confront the seismic changes in buying behavior: to succeed in this market, how you align and execute customer-centric strategies and how you win, retain, and grow accounts must evolve. Rethink ABM - New York was designed to challenge the status quo, gain unparalleled insights, and redefine the future of Account-Based Marketing.

Rethink ABM (New York, 2024)

Want to know how to scale your account-based approach to improve your win rates and build trust with top clients without blowing the budget or sacrificing your program’s integrity?

Hear how Amazon Web Services (AWS) overcame some of the major challenges of Account-Based Marketing (ABM), including developing customized assets at scale, tracking and measuring results, and “doing more with less”— i.e. optimizing resources and seeing a return on investment without increasing expenditure. 

In this webinar, Eric Martin, former ABM-er at AWS, will share how his team established a framework for an insight-led go-to-market. Because, when buyers research twice as many solution providers as they did five years ago and nearly three-quarters of decision-makers identify their winning provider before they’ve even compiled a shortlist, competition is hotter than ever. 

To win and retain clients, marketers must equip teams to succeed, focus on client outcomes, and smooth the path to purchase.

The power of a client-centric go-to-market strategy

Many marketers split their budgets and attention evenly between existing clients and new logos. But, at a time when budgets are tight and competition is high, is this the best allocation of resources and the fastest route to ROI?

New data from MomentumABM reveals why investing in your existing key clients over chasing new logos may be your best bet for long-term revenue growth.

Our latest Client Buying Index (CBX) findings challenge the traditional 50:50 budget allocation between new acquisitions and existing key accounts highlighted in the 2024 Global State of Account-Based Marketing report.

If you’re looking to leverage data-driven insights to optimize your strategic initiatives and maximize ROI from client-centric marketing efforts, this webinar is a must-see.

Join us to:

1. Learn why the conventional wisdom of evenly splitting your ABM budget between new and existing accounts may be limiting your growth potential. Our CBX data reveals compelling reasons to tilt your budget towards nurturing existing key accounts.

2. Discover strategies to safeguard your most valuable accounts. We'll delve into deliberate approaches to shield these assets from competitive threats and ensure sustained engagement and satisfaction.

3. Gain insights into identifying and countering potential flanking maneuvers by competitors. Understand how to stay ahead and keep your accounts secure.

4. Reflect on the core factors that originally won you the business. We'll discuss how revisiting and reinforcing these can fortify relationships and encourage renewal and expansion.
