BUILDING A MARTECH STACK FOR ABMDo you have the right pieces in place?
![Page 7: How to Build a Predictable ABM Engine](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58731f6c1a28ab673e8b71c3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stage 0: Marketing Transformation
Stage 1: Automation
Stage 2: Lead Quality Management
0 Month 12 Month 18 Month 24 Month 36
Building capability is hard work
Moving from Stage 0 to 1 and 2 offer the largest obvious ROI.
Most firms are stuck here. This is where those 55% of marketers say they are “improving marginally”
Mostly vendors are here. This is where you want to be. Only 9-16% of “successful implementations” are likely here.
Noble goal, will you have enough data to do this earlier? Will your team be ready to use it?
Stage 3: Nurturing and Sales Context
Stage 4: Funnel Visibility
Stage 5: Attribution and Allocation

What about ABM?
ABM and Predictive cannot help here since the Team isn’t ready (nor the systems)
Add Plays and build up data set for Predictive
ABM range
Depends on Dataset and Organizational capability.
Lead people to the Commercial Insight
Improve visibility of what Story works and where it is working.
Continuous practice and alignment – ABM will require TRULY TIGHT alignment

Implications for marketing operations

• Scoring is about the Customer and
Buying Team
• Time spent is a better indicator of
interest
• Predictive tools should take
behaviors and time into their model.

Mobilizers
