Marketing organizations need to accurately track and measure results for account based and volume efforts separately, but require the ability to view them side-by-side. The world’s fastest-growing companies understand how all go-to-market (GTM) approaches contribute to revenue. Reviewing common metrics together demonstrates how account based and volume initiatives move through the sales process to generate results.
TOPO is excited to share that Summit 2020 will be April 23-24th, in San Francisco on the Embarcadero overlooking the waterfront. With over 86% of attendees expected to return, we are grateful for 5 years of ongoing support and are excited to welcome new attendees to make Summit 2020 the best yet!
Before joining TOPO as a Research Analyst, I was a marketing strategist at high growth B2B tech companies and always looking for ways to drive efficiency (more quality revenue with less effort). I usually did this by understanding and then intentionally breaking processes. I used industry research (including TOPO best practices!) in order to justify my gut decisions, which helped me maintain my credibility and drive results in the face of uncertainty.
Marketing teams look for ways to improve results with every program. Marketers can accomplish that goal with an orchestrated program that leverages multiple channels and functions to meet a specific objective for a specific list of target accounts. These programs do not replace existing always-on marketing programs—whether account based or demand generation—but instead create greater impact with stronger results, more focused messaging, and better calls-to-action.
Every marketing organization includes a demand generation strategy to raise awareness and bring more leads into the funnel. Adhering to best practices and measuring deep into the sales process helps to identify areas of improvement, eliminate stalled pipeline, and show the impact of marketing to the business.
More and more organizations are adopting and leveraging an account based strategy to drive business growth. Therefore, organizations must identify the most impactful activities for an account based strategy and align internal expectations around the expected outcomes.
A world-class sales development organization starts with a plan. As the team on the front lines communicating the value of the company to prospects every day, they need to be prepared. TOPO’s framework helps define the necessary strategy and development of processes and procedures for company growth.
The key objective of every B2B company is revenue growth. With this in mind, one would think organizations would capitalize on any available advantage to increase the percentage of deals that close. Creating an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is just such an advantage, and it provides a number of other benefits.
Sales Development role in account based programs is the biggest story in sales development today. The role SDR’s play is a critical piece of the account based movement but its really really hard to pull off. This story and more emerged in the 2019 TOPO Sales Development Benchmark.
