ABG FRAMEWORK

Agile Account-Based Growth (Agile ABG) is a framework for B2B enterprises which helps ensure revenue grows steadily, consistently, and predictably. While many enterprises look to ABM to achieve revenue growth, human interaction (element), timing, ease of implementation, and alignment with customer success still lack. For that reason, B2B marketers are aiming to create the next generation of ‘account-based’, one that goes beyond even ABM.

This framework encompasses and impacts the entire funnel from research and intelligence to marketing, sales, and customer success.

These various business components are finally tied together under one strategy to ensure a holistic revenue-growth outcome, especially for organizations which have high-value products with longer sales cycles, technology-driven solutions, and enterprise-sized target client.

This orchestrated process utilizes 5 “Account-Based” functions (intelligence: ABI, marketing: ABM, sales development: ABSD, sales: ABS, and customer success: ABCS) at every stage of the account lifecycle.
