Who should hire an ABM service?

Not every company is ready just yet to hire an agency.

But if your company has a high-value sale item and you have limited marketing, or a team to wrack up sales efforts; You might want to consider hiring an agency. Especially if you lack the resources or experience to pull off sales campaigns internally.

It might just be best to outsource sales and marketing teams because the right company will have the experience to find high-quality leads.

ABM agencies who have experience can lead to more booked appointments, which in turn can lead to more money in the bank.

If you aren’t sure who your exact target audience is yet, wait a few months, see who has been purchasing your product or service, and then look for patterns between buyers.

The less you know about your existing customer, the greater the risk of hiring an ABM agency.

If you can share insights on who your ideal buyers are, it will help the agency target the right businesses.

Remember, you want to make sure you have a defined market AND a sellable product before you invest in marketing services. If you aren’t there just yet, try to do some outreach on your own first via LinkedIn.

By doing this, you will also know what works and what doesn’t.

1. SalesBread

SalesBread is known as the “Lead Per Day” LinkedIn outreach agency.

Here’s our ABM strategy

Obsessive list building

The list-building process takes us a week to complete. The reason why we are so obsessive with list building is because we want to reach out to prospects who NEED what you’re selling, who HAVE the Budget, and who HAVE the buying power.

By doing this, we ensure that we are reaching out to individuals who will most likely close; which means your hard-earned money won’t be wasted, and your ROI will be greater.

Here’s how we do it:

We will ask you which companies have purchased your product or service over the last 6 months.

We will then start to look for patterns.

For example:

Are all these companies in a specific industry? Tech? Saas? Health and wellness?
How many employees do these companies have? More than 100 or less than 10?
Who is on their payroll? HR departments? Inbound marketing teams?
Have these companies recently been funded?
Are they located in a similar area? (USA? Germany?)
Do they use similar CRM tools?
Who are the decision-makers? The CEO? Manger?

We actually analyze this data against 34 different target account filters to get as refined as possible.

Once we know exactly who to target, we will then find the right people to reach out to at these companies on LinkedIn.

Personalized LinkedIn outreach

At Salesbread we don’t send spammy copy-paste LinkedIn outreach messages. We actually spend time researching each prospect on our list. This helps us find something very specific about the individual to mention in our outreach messages.

For example, we might listen to podcasts, and interviews, read their articles, and mention something we enjoyed.

We use a method called CCQ which means that we will either complement the prospect, mention a commonality, or ask them a question.

Personalization helps us stand out from every other ABM service on LinkedIn.

Follow up consistently

The next step in our lead generation ABM program is to send out all these personalized messages via Linkedin.

Most of the time, people do accept the connection request invites.

For example, you might get a 30% connection request acceptance rate, and if you do, be sure to follow up 3 days later with another message.

If they don’t reply to you or accept your connection request, you could then find their email addresses and send them a direct mail.

How do you find their email addresses?

Sometimes it’s listed on Linkedin, or if it’s not listed, you could use:

Google
Phantom Buster
Crunchbase

Once you have their email addresses, add them to an email marketing campaign and follow the same recipe as above with regards to personalization. (Remember to keep it short for emails.)

Ask for a book sales call

Lastly, we will always ask for a booked sales call. We keep the ask simple so that it makes it really easy for the prospect to say yes.

Here are some examples:

Are you available for a quick meeting to discuss your use case and see if we can assist in any way?
Do you think it could help {{company. name}}If so, happy to tell you how {here’s my calendar} or show you a demo.
Do you have 10 minutes in the next few days to see how video can generate sales and reduce acquisition costs for {{company. name}}?
Would you have time {{=bday+2}} morning for a conversation?
Want me to coordinate with your assistant?

Schedule the appointment for you

Lastly, if you would like us to schedule appointments for you in your calendar, we can do this for an additional cost. All you have to do is show up to the call and close the deal.

This ABM strategy helps us get 1 qualified sales lead per day for our clients.
