Account-Based Everything (ABX)

Coordinating marketing, sales and customer success around a defined set of target accounts rather than around lead volume.

The operational shift

The unit of measurement changes from the lead to the account. Programme success is account engagement and progression, not form fills — which means the reporting layer has to be rebuilt around accounts, not contacts.

It fails on target selection

ABX executed against a poorly constructed account list concentrates effort on the wrong companies. The list is the programme; everything else is execution.
