Demand generation, or demand gen, and account-based marketing (ABM) have traditionally been thought of as two distinct strategies for B2B growth.

That is why identifying target accounts is crucial to a successful Account-Based Marketing campaign. When only 5% of your B2B accounts are actively in-market to make a purchase right now , a lot of wastage occurs if your efforts aren’t synced around engaging that small cluster at the right time in their buying journey.
