For some time now, intent data combined with ABM has been a recipe for success — but it isn’t as easy as you may think. And oversimplifying it may just be your downfall.

What intent and behavioral data are supposed to do is point to commonalities that businesses have on their way through a buyer journey. But in order to get there, you need to understand, client by client, how potential clients behave on their way leading up to becoming a sales opportunity. In other words, having access to intent data alone will not boost your ABM strategy.

In this segment of TechConnectr’s Account Based Marketing (ABM) Thought Leaders Interviews and Insights, Principal and Founder Bob Samuels sits down with Aberdeen’s own President and CIO, Charlie Tarzian, to discuss intent performance vs. intent data, automation, developing a good foundation for your ABM, and much more.
