Three Crucial Ways How Content Can Undermine Account-Based Marketing

IPG Names Lisa De Bonis CEO of Huge.

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) wasn’t accessible to small startups and mid-sized businesses a decade ago. The majority of companies have only used ABM strategies for less than five years. It will take far longer than five years to develop, implement, and completely optimize ABM content marketing. Even the biggest names in technology are constantly updating, changing, and adapting their ABM strategies.

Industry analysts claim that most B2Bs rate their content marketing as “sophisticated.”

However, according to Salesforce’s Sixth Edition State of Marketing, 92% of B2Bs claim to be using an ABM approach. This suggests that many enterprises are using generic, subpar, or unfocused content to support their Account-Based Marketing (ABM), which is terrible.

Avoid making the following three content marketing errors to offer ABM efforts the best chance of success.

Marketing is detached from sales

Due to the different specialized abilities that each brings to the table, it is common for sales and marketing specialists to struggle to collaborate effectively. However, it is the role of marketers to bridge the sales-marketing gap by initiating contact.

It is a mistake to wait too long to involve Sales in the conceptualization of new content. The objective is to win them over to the importance and value of sharing the information, not only to solicit their opinions. Sales is an essential channel in ABM, and if they don’t trust the content, it won’t work.

Marketers can close the gap by including a salesperson in the planning stages of marketing content production. Sales may, after all, use customer inquiries to support ideas. Furthermore, marketers should invite the sales team to participate in the discussion early if they want their ABM campaigns to incorporate marketing content from their sales team.

Undefined ABM content marketing objectives

For their basic Account-Based Marketing approach, marketers ought to have previously planned goals. They cannot, however, just move them to content marketing and expect ROI.

Everyone wants to make more sales and leads. These objectives are not detailed enough to support an effective ABM content marketing approach.

When creating each piece of content, marketers must take into account their unique goals for each account, stage of the journey, and role. What are the marketers hoping the reader, viewer, or listener will do after ingesting their content?

Marketers hide or fence all their top-notch content

Let’s say one of the marketing industry’s most popular practices—hiding great content behind an opt-in form—isn’t the best idea?

The thought is horrifying. After all, how else will marketing be able to show that it generates leads and meets its Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) objective without the use of lead-generating forms?

Un-gating content can be beneficial since it makes the finest content easier to find and more accessible to users. For instance, an analyst at a target account can send a link to their management after swiftly reviewing new survey data.

Marketing professionals disregard content metrics

For their account-based efforts, marketers invest time, money, and resources in content creation. How do they determine which content is effective? Page views, comments, and time spent on a website are examples of traditional marketing metrics that might not give a whole picture.

The most acceptable content, according to marketers, has been distributed more widely online and on social media. What kind of content reverberates with their target accounts, ask marketers?

Finding a high-quality solution is the first available choice. Ask sales (and new clients) over the phone what information they have read. It will aid in bringing some of the most incredible stuff to light. Marketers can expand on that strategy by frequently employing survey tools.

Measuring using IP is the second approach. Unfortunately, an enormous number of website visitors will be employing their home Internet connection or a Virtual Private Network (VPN) due to widespread remote employment. Even so, it’s worthwhile to spend the time gathering IP data so that marketers can decide what kinds of content to provide for their next campaigns.
