We'll provide practical tips for setting priorities, and share best practices for using Intent Data to follow up on ABM leads. Plus, we'll show you how ABM can supercharge your outreach process, making every day more productive.
One of the primary goals of a BDR is to engage potential customers effectively. In the realm of ABM, delivering valuable and personalized outreach is the key to success. It's about speaking directly to your target accounts' needs and pain points.
When done right, ABM can significantly improve pipeline velocity and conversion rates. When BDRs leverage a solution like Propensity, they're supercharging their lead to close with
But how can BDRs achieve such impressive results daily? Let’s dig into a few ways to hit the ground running when chasing down leads.
A BDR's daily routine is often a whirlwind of activity, and time is a precious (if limited) resource. That's why it's so important to prioritize and focus your energy on the accounts most likely to convert. ABM helps warm up leads so BDRs can cut through the noise and dive into building relationships and creating value.
Of course, setting clear priorities is crucial to make the most of each day. Here is how Propensity’s ABM tools for sales can help organize your time by prioritizing your lead pipeline around:
Start your day by focusing on accounts already interested in your product. These could be accounts that have:
This is also where Propensity's Intent Data Explorer comes into play! The Intent Data Explorer allows you to validate if accounts are trending on intent signals related to your product or your competition and check out the frequency and recency of these searches. If they were active in the last 30 days it means they are still searching for a solution, if not it likely means that you are late and the competition was first on the deal.
Armed with this information, tailor your messaging to align with the account's intent signals, vertical, and business. Consider this your opportunity to attend discovery qualification calls, confident you have the knowledge and insights that set you apart from the competition.
Hot leads can originate on your website and might be sitting there, right under your nose! What if you had a way to spot them and convert them into pipeline?
Propensity's ABM Connected Website can identify companies that visit your website by de-anonymizing them, matching them to intent signals relevant to your business, and finding leads within those accounts that fit your Ideal Customer Profile. Access your leads' contact information, including emails, phone numbers, and social handles.
Catch them while they are showing interest by reaching out within 24 to 72 hours of visiting your website and you’re likely to draw them right into your pipeline. After all, leveraging intent data speeds up the sales cycle as it allows BDRs to reach out to customers who already know or have shown interest in the type of solution you offer.
With this information at your fingertips, you can craft personalized sales outreach messages that speak directly to the intent signals the account is exhibiting. And, by focusing on customers that have already shown interest, you’re able to accelerate your conversion rate.
Identifying and capitalizing on hot leads is crucial. These leads have already been exposed to your marketing and sales touches and have shown interest in learning more about your brand by engaging with your ads, emails, and content. When leads are hot, they are primed for sales outreach.
Propensity's leads manager can be your go-to tool for managing these hot leads effectively. Claim hot leads that are unassigned to kickstart your personalized sales outreach campaign. Or seamlessly integrate it into your CRM of choice
Supplied with a wealth of information about your target's interest (and how they've interacted with your brand or competition in the past), you can tailor your messaging to align with the intent signals. This approach ensures that your outreach remains relevant and engaging.
As you navigate the ABM landscape, following best practices to focus your energy and maximize your success is essential. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
In the age of social media, transparency is at an all-time high. Prospects publicly share their passions, ideas, and sentiments on social media. Monitoring social media lets you gain insights into what matters most to your prospects.
Leveraging social media outreach can help you identify a lead's goals, pain points, and preferences. This information empowers you to tailor your outreach in a way that resonates with your target audience.
Using thoughtful engagement and tailoring outreach allows BDRs to warm leads organically to consistently move prospects through the sales pipeline.
When it comes to perfecting the art of nurturing a sales pipeline, every day is a new opportunity to connect with potential clients to build relationships and drive growth. Integrating ABM strategies and leveraging Intent Data in your daily routine can enrich your outreach efforts to achieve impressive results. After all, ABM isn't just a buzzword; it's a game-changer that can elevate your performance as a business development/sales representative.
By implementing strategies, like understanding intent, prioritizing hot leads, and personalizing outreach, you're well on your way to harnessing the power of ABM and Propensity.
