Frequently asked questions

What outbound approach fits enterprise software sales?

Account based outbound. Enterprise deals involve committees and long cycles, so coordinated multi contact outreach into a named list of accounts outperforms broad single contact prospecting.

What is account based selling?

Account based selling is the sales side of an account based strategy: sellers pursue a defined list of target accounts and engage several stakeholders in each buying committee with coordinated, tailored outreach. Account based outbound supplies the research, data and multi channel execution it depends on.

What is account based prospecting?

Account based prospecting is researching a target account to find every relevant stakeholder, then reaching each of them with messaging about their own priorities, rather than prospecting one contact at a time across a broad market.

What is the difference between account based outbound and broad lead generation?

Broad lead generation casts wide to find fit. Account based outbound starts from a fixed list of high value accounts and works multiple contacts inside each one with tailored messaging.
