It’s actually quite a long story, dating back to the company’s initial sales automation system in 1997, followed by its MarketingView demand generation product in 1999. So now the story can be told.

I’m learning all about it as we deploy ABM efforts for our clients and ourselves as we market our agency. I snagged a few minutes of time from our very busy, very knowledgeable Director of Client Services, Tim Cook, to get his perspective. That makes me wonder: Are CRM platforms, like the Salesforce.com, set up to handle ABM?

Demand Gen and Lead Management. How can Sales identify and tag appropriately in a CRM? Most CRMs allow you to track these people as a group within an “Opportunity”; however, that record is lost once the Opportunity is closed.

The fact of the matter is that most failed marketing automation implementations we have seen share a striking set of similarities, as both do-it-yourselfers and agency-led deployments are technology-led rather than strategy-led. Furthermore, many of their systems are not properly integrated, and/or their strategy did not plan for it.
