Goodbye Account Based Marketing, Hello ABR!

Even though Account Based Marketing is the “Buzzword” it’s helpful to move forward with a fresh understanding and a more focused approach.

Do you want to see accelerated growth and increased sales? Trish isn’t just tossing out old concepts for new ones on a whim, she’s an industry expert and she KNOWS what it takes to help businesses like yours push through to the next level of success. What are you waiting for? Listen to this episode of #SellingWithSocial to embrace this new approach!

Effective Storytelling with the Account Based Revenue Strategy

Often Trish will consult with a business and face push back on her mission to move from Account Based Marketing to an Account Based Revenue strategy. She will hear leaders say that they have adopted a revenue-focused approach because they are connecting with multiple individuals on a specific account. Of course, that is a step in the right direction but Trish wants to take businesses even further and help them craft a unified story that is so compelling and uniquely tailored to that client in a way they’ve never seen before. This approach requires a lot of trust and flexibility as Trish and her team brings marketing and sales into harmony so they can tell the same story.

Shedding Light vs Casting Shade on Social

Do you feel the need to add value or make a point? You might think that both can be true at the same time but Trish points out that these options represent two very different approaches on Social. She calls it “Shedding light or Casting Shade.” Shedding light is when you see a request for help or information and you present your solution, this adds value and brings to light new information. Casting shade is when you see someone’s solution and you tear it down to make a point and/or to bolster your information as being superior, thus casting a shade upon the information they brought to light. With her years as an expert with inside sales, Trish is trying to educate sales leaders like you to know these two different approaches and to work toward shedding light and stay away from casting shade. To hear Trish expand on these concepts, make sure to listen to this episode of #SellingWithSocial!

Why Sales and Marketing MUST Collaborate

You remember that famous line from “The A Team,” right? “I love it when a plan comes together.” A plan coming together should be the goal when marketing and sales collaborate on an account based strategy. But too often the plan gets one sided and the either sales or marketing gets marginalized. These two groups coming together play a KEY role in leaving behind the old Account Based Marketing and embracing the Account Based Revenue approach. On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, you’ll hear from Trish as she emphasizes the need for sales and marketing to work together for an account based revenue strategy to succeed. You don’t want to miss Trish’s valuable insight on this episode!
