ABM¶
ABM¶
Account-Centric Revenue Orchestration is a strategic approach that aligns marketing, sales, and customer success teams to collaboratively target, engage, and grow high-value accounts. In modern sales-led, product-led, and hybrid go-to-market (GTM) models, this activity leverages data-driven insights and personalized engagement across digital and human touchpoints. The focus shifts from broad lead generation to orchestrating tailored experiences across the entire account lifecycle—driving pipeline generation, accelerating deal velocity, and maximizing customer expansion at scale. This unified, account-centric methodology ensures that all GTM motions are coordinated around the unique needs and potential of each target account, enabling organizations to deliver measurable business outcomes and achieve sustainable growth.
