“Account-Based Marketing is used by B2B marketers to
identify and target the accounts they value most,
opening strategic sales opportunities and supporting
them through the buyer’s journey.
#ABMinPractice
Why ABM now?
• Focus on quality - Response to ‘inbound mania’• Automation - Ability to deliver marketing programs, content,
and messaging at scale through technology• Data - Do more with the treasure trove of data you’re already
collecting• Customer expectations - Digital experiences are becoming
more targeted in every context
#ABMinPractice
“B2C experiences have us trained to expect
personalized content, recommendations--soon, searching for content on B2B websites will be a
very disappointing experience.
#ABMinPractice
Why Web Personalization for ABM?
• Personalization expectation - When they’re not your prospects, they’re consumers
• Data becomes actionable - you have the data - now put it to work
• Targeted messaging and experiences - Website goes from a one-many asset to an action layer for your data and programs
#ABMinPractice
“Personalizing your website is where your customer
data comes to life. You’ve been collecting it - for
years! But have only been able to use it in limited
use cases.
#ABMinPractice
Early days of ABM at OptimizelyWe’ll share:
• Our homepage experiment• The first ABM test we ran that
generated $1M in sales pipeline (hint: it’s not the homepage)
• Other pages that have been personalized since the homepage
#ABMinPractice
Why ABM for Optimizely?
• Lead volume problem = bad conversations for Sales
• Need leads to be better educated, higher quality
• No natural next step if you’re not a user of the product
• Treasure trove of data that was being underutilized
#ABMinPractice
Our goals for the homepage
• ‘Show, don’t tell’• Showcase our own technology• Support ABM strategy• Do something easy to
understand
#ABMinPractice

personalization?

• Cascading approach for different tiers:• Top: account list - 1-to-1 personalization• Middle: industries - 1-to-few
personalization• Bottom: everyone else: 1-to-many
personalization• Other considerations:
• Customer and non-customer audiences• Behavioral audiences• Geographic audiences
#ABMinPractice

that list?• What is feasible/achievable in your
timeframe?• What other attributes could be
used to segment accounts into audiences?
