A practical guide for using generative ai in account-based marketing.

  • Share to Facebook
  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

CEO of Momentum ITSMA , helping firms develop, embed and enable Account-Based Marketing strategies, and author of The ABM Effect.

Generative AI continues to dominate discussions in 2024. In the fast-paced world of enterprise buying, innovation is key, and, in the long run, generative AI looks to be the next game-changer.

However, studies shed light on a surprising reality: Despite its potential, generative AI remains underutilized by many marketing and sales teams.

A McKinsey study reveals only 10% to 14% of companies consistently integrate generative AI into their go-to-market strategies. And a benchmark report from my company shows fewer than 5% of account-based marketing (ABM) programs are fully adopting it.

Why, in a domain that stands to benefit so immensely, are firms not yet embracing generative AI? This guide looks at this critical gap and offers a comprehensive framework to fully leverage AI's potential for driving account growth.

Navigating Trust Decline

While AI offers unprecedented value, its growing use in the buying process is also intensifying competition. Enterprise accounts are increasingly evaluating a multitude of providers, and the number of trusted advisors is plummeting.

If you want to strengthen trust in accounts throughout the go-to-market process, consider these questions:

• Are your data assets reliable and accessible, fostering informed decision-making?

• Are you deliberately structuring your experimentation with the right mix of team involvement?

• Does the integration of AI free up time for greater human connection and inspiration in existing relationships and trust-building efforts?

• Have you established a framework for the development and maintenance of AI projects within your existing martech and ecosystem?

The Opportunity For Go-To-Market Excellence

At my company, we’ve delved into many workflow productivity use cases for AI including research, copyediting and account prioritization. Based on this experience, here are a few real-world cases that demonstrate how integrating generative AI into marketing can help you scale personalization, fine-tune targeting strategies and streamline your operational processes:

• Account prioritization. With generative AI's prowess in analyzing datasets and recognizing patterns, you can optimize account scoring models, pinpointing the most promising accounts and streamlining the pipeline for more impactful results.

• Tailored content workflows. Generative AI can dynamically personalize content based on user behavior and preferences. You can harness this capability to craft customized experiences for each account, creating deeper engagement.

• Sandbox how you stress test on accounts. Use generative AI tooling to better understand individuals and the companies they operate in. Culturally what will work best? Which tone is most likely to resonate?

• Precision with generative analytics. By tapping into AI-driven analytics, you can identify the next best actions for high-value accounts. This approach ensures your efforts are directed precisely where they can yield the most significant impact.

A Framework For Prioritizing Use Cases

It's important to keep in mind that generative AI is about reshuffling tasks, not replacing jobs. In other words, it should be set to augment, not substitute.

Therefore, emphasizing the human touch in nurturing existing relationships and fostering trust is paramount. Embracing AI is not a binary decision; think of it more as finding a thoughtful path forward. You want to make sure to strategically incorporate it in a way that does not require blind leaps of faith.

Assessing The Opportunities

As you gauge the short- and medium-term value of generative AI, here are some steps to consider:

• Develop a go-to-market strategy. Evaluate corporate growth objectives, account relationship performance, existing account-based marketing capabilities, sales and marketing alignment and investment.

• Optimize resources. Assess your AI knowledge base, existing technology infrastructure, data readiness, format, architecture, accessibility and depth of customer insights.

• Consider cultural fit. Consider adaptability, leadership support for new initiatives, expectations about AI requirements and team participation mix.

• Prioritize use cases. Understand your available accounts and resources to effectively prioritize use cases. Identify target scenarios, map out available data sources and assess the values based on desired outcomes and alignment.

• Build and enable. Configure and build identified AI use cases, establish data and LLM, identify upskilling needs and enable each workstream with learning integrated into daily tasks.

• Evaluate iteratively. Continuously revisit and recalibrate your AI transformation roadmap. Acknowledge the ever-evolving AI landscape and prioritize the human side of transformation.

A Pragmatic Roadmap: Three Actions To Guide You

We're at the dawn of a monumental shift with AI soon to be integrated into almost every aspect of our lives and work. I believe that many organizations underestimate the long-term impact of AI, focusing on the near-term goals of minimizing risks and driving standardized adoption.

It's important to recognize that AI isn't just a tool or a shortcut; it's a new way of working. Like the internet, it should permeate across software programs and beyond, influencing day-to-day workflows.

To harness the true power of generative AI in marketing, critical thinking is paramount. It's about more than automating workflows; it's about leveraging AI to develop a genuine understanding of your accounts.

Here are three actions to guide you toward a more thoughtful and effective use of AI for both the near term and long term:

1. Inspire critical thinking, not only use cases.

Share examples of effective AI use cases as starting points for creative thinking. Encourage your teams to explore potential applications for their specific needs and outcomes, fostering a culture of critical thinking.

2. Learn to learn, not do more.

Enable your teams on how to structure prompts effectively, emphasizing that it's about engaging in a dialogue, not just seeking answers. Make sure to correct AI when necessary and direct it to relevant sources that can enhance the learning process.

3. Focus on practice, not just information transfer.

While understanding AI basics is crucial, most training should involve live practice. Use real marketing scenarios to facilitate group problem-solving, enabling marketers to apply AI insights to their own accounts.

Generative AI is not just martech to do more with less; it's a learned skill that demands a shift in mindset. As marketing leaders guide their teams through this transformative journey, the emphasis should be on deep intelligence, curiosity, critical thinking and a profound understanding of customers.
