ABM Talks are open AMA style session for ABM experts and the curious to discuss what’s happening in the world of Account-based marketing and ABX.
Today we’re tackling the topic of how to sell account-based marketing to the sales team.
According to a LinkedIn survey 56% of B2B brands now leverage ABM, a TOPO report also points out 80% of marketing teams worldwide have confirmed a higher return on investment from ABM initiatives.
But for ABM to have any chance of success, the sales and marketing teams need to be aligned. Forester reports that having an active collaboration between the teams to craft and execute ABM plans have a much higher chance of exceeding their targets.
For the first half of this session, Shahin tackles the topic, then in the second half, we answer submitted community questions around ABM.

APAC's B2B Growth Podcast
APAC's B2B Growth Podcast (formerly Growth Colony) is a bi-weekly interview show unpacking trends, busting myths and delivering insights B2B marketing and sales leaders across Asia-Pacific can put to work today.
Each episode, host Shahin Hoda sits down with a marketing leader, sales leader, founder or operator who has a real point of view, not a generic take.
Guests bring specific stories from inside their own companies: what worked, what failed and what they'd do differently.
We cover what's actually driving B2B growth in the region: account-based marketing built for APAC rather than adapted from a US or UK playbook, sales and marketing alignment, and founder and operator commentary from people doing the work, not just talking about it.
