GTM motion · Account-based (ABM)

ABM works when you know who inside the account is in market.

Account-level signals tell you where to look. We tell you who: the named people at your target accounts who have started looking.

ABM at contact level: who inside the account is in market.
How it works

How it sits under an ABM program.

  1. 1
    Your list goes in

    Target accounts and the roles in your buying group. We report coverage: how many accounts and people we can see.

  2. 2
    People and stage come out

    Each account resolves to the individuals active on our properties, staged as researching or in market, refreshed on a schedule.

  3. 3
    Both teams work one list

    The same people go to your ad platforms as audiences and to the CRM as records, so marketing and sales act on the same names.

Today vs with NorthRadar

What you have now, and what you get.

✕TodayBought lists and inferred intent
  • ✕Account-level signals that say where, not who
  • ✕Ads served to every employee at the account
  • ✕Sales and marketing working different lists
✓With NorthRadarRecorded on properties we own
  • ✓Named individuals with a stage
  • ✓Budget that follows the people who are active
  • ✓One list in the ad platforms and the CRM
What changes

Three things you get that a rented list cannot give you.

01

Contact-level, not account-level

Budget and outreach go to the individuals who are active, not to every seat at every account on the list.

02

Quiet accounts are held back

Accounts with no activity are suppressed until someone moves, so spend follows behaviour.

03

Sales and marketing see the same thing

The same named people and stages go to the ad platforms and to the CRM, so both teams work one list.

Proof

Judged on the pipeline, not the deck.

Pipeline over ad spend, as reported by each client. These four programs returned between 4x and 9x their cost in pipeline.

Before the call

The ones you were going to ask.

Does this replace our ABM platform?

No. It gives the platform person-level, first-party data to work with. Most teams run it underneath what they already have.

How do you measure coverage?

We match your list against our audience and report how many accounts and people we can see before the program starts.

Can you run the program for us?

Yes. We can build the landing pages and content and run the activation, or deliver the data for your team to run.
