When you’re selling to one buyer, the process is fairly straightforward. But what happens when the buyer you’re engaging becomes a multi-person buying committee with diverse needs and requirements?
Today, this is the reality for many businesses selling high value deals to other businesses. Companies are increasingly using larger buying committees to reduce the risk of a bad purchase. According to the Harvard Business Review, the average business-to-business purchase has a shocking 6.8 buying stakeholders alone — and that number is growing rapidly. Each additional buying stakeholder is another person interacting with your sales team and marketing content. Toss all of these factors together, and what do you get? Utter chaos for everyone involved.
Without a robust, easy-to-use set of Account Based Marketing (ABM) tools, your team could end up providing prospects with conflicting or repetitive information, leading to longer sales cycles, lower win rates, and a worse reputation. To avoid this, your marketing and sales teams need to be able to seamlessly create, coordinate, and measure their account-based marketing strategies.
With HubSpot’s new Account Based Marketing features, you can cut through the chaos of selling to a large company, with tools that unite teams to easily create, personalize, and report on bespoke account-based growth strategies. ABM playbooks and an account overview sidebar will allow your sales team to personalize their sales approach and foster deeper relationships, while the new Target Accounts Home and an improved Slack integration will make sure all of your teams can see the whole picture of your ABM strategy. In addition, with ABM reporting and company scoring, you can track, measure, and evaluate your Account Based Marketing strategy from start to finish.
HubSpot’s new ABM features provide the foundational elements for any team to get started with an ABM strategy. Yet, what makes these features even more valuable is the ability for customers to customize their strategy by tapping into the rich ecosystem of ABM partners in HubSpot’s App Marketplace. These partners integrate with HubSpot to extend the functionality of our ABM product, allowing you to tailor your systems to fit your specific business needs.
When coordinating your teams around the complex task of selling to a large business with many stakeholders, organization is key. It helps to break your sales cycle down into five main stages: 1) Identify Target Accounts → 2) Create an Account Plan → 3) Attract Stakeholders → 4) Engage Stakeholders → 5) Measure. This approach will enable your team to stay efficient, build alignment between your sales and marketing teams, and focus on the stages that positively impact your bottom line.
Below, you’ll find our top 15 ABM app partners that can help your team execute across the different stages of this streamlined sales cycle. By supplementing the power of HubSpot’s Account Based Marketing features with these trusted integrations, your team will be able to come together to create, coordinate, and execute robust growth strategies for your highest-value accounts.
