Leigh Chesley (former CMO and now CCO at Longbow Advantage) says ABM is a business growth strategy and an organizational approach — not a technology, which is why she’s investing in building the foundation before investing in ABM tech like 6sense, Terminus, Demandbase and others. During the podcast below, Kristina Jaramillo (President of Personal ABM), Eric Gruber (CEO of Personal ABM) and Leigh discuss:
- How ABM should be an organizational decision and not a tech decision
- How technology is only amplifying issues that are keeping accounts from getting to revenue
- How a focus on technology and digital ads led to an under-performing program for a large enterprise competitor of JDA/BlueYonder
- How sales and marketing at Longbow Advantage are working together to get accounts to revenue.
