Get Started Identifying Your Target Accounts

Overview

Your target account list serves as the foundation of your Account-Based Marketing strategy. It’s not just the final output of the companies you want to target -- it also helps align your organization around a set list of accounts and enables you to make decisions through an account-based lens. That’s why it’s critical to identify the right accounts -- the ones that are most likely to buy from you. To be successful with your ABM strategy you need a dependable, efficient way to reach the actual buyers within your target accounts, especially when you’re targeting a large enterprise where there might be tens of thousands of employees but only a couple dozen people who are important to you.
