Account-Based Experience (ABX)

The Next Evolution in B2B Growth

Why ABX?

The Shift from ABM to ABX

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) was the gold standard in B2B marketing for years, enabling businesses to target high-value accounts with personalized campaigns. However, as B2B buyers became more sophisticated and the buying journey grew more complex, ABM began to show its limitations.

Today, a more advanced and holistic approach has emerged: Account-Based Experience (ABX).

Unlike traditional ABM, which focused primarily on lead acquisition through marketing efforts, ABX orchestrates personalized experiences across the entire customer lifecycle, involving marketing, sales, and customer success in one unified motion.

What is ABX?

Account-Based Experience (ABX) is a go-to-market strategy that delivers relevant, timely, and consistent experiences to high-value accounts — across every stage of the buyer and customer journey.

ABX aligns the efforts of marketing, sales, and customer success teams, powered by data and intent signals, to create deeper engagement, build trust, and drive long-term revenue.

Relationships that drive revenue

💡 With ABX, lead generation isn’t a campaign — it’s a conversation. And it never stops at the sale.

How ABX Drives Smarter Lead Generation

From Cold Leads to Connected Journeys

In a world flooded with noise, traditional lead generation tactics often miss the mark. They rely on volume over value — generating interest but rarely building intent.

ABX changes that.

Instead of pushing out messages and hoping for a response, ABX listens first. It uses real-time intent data, behavior signals, and deep account insights to engage the right buyers, at the right moment, with the right message.

The result? Fewer leads. Better leads. Higher revenue per account.

💡 With ABX, lead generation isn’t a campaign — it’s a conversation. And it never stops at the sale.

How ABX Improves Lead Generation Quality

Prioritization By Real Intent

ABX identifies which accounts are in active research mode — not just who fits the profile, but who’s actually in-market. No more chasing cold prospects.

Precision Engagement

Instead of generic outreach, ABX enables messaging tailored to each account’s pain points, role, stage, and context — boosting conversion rates.

Cross-Channel Orchestration

Every touchpoint — email, ad, SDR call, webinar — is coordinated and personalized. Buyers get a consistent, relevant experience that builds trust.

Sales-Ready Insights

Marketing doesn’t just hand off leads — it hands off intelligence. ABX equips sales teams with detailed context that helps close faster.

Retention Starts Early

ABX doesn’t stop at lead generation. It considers the full lifecycle, ensuring that the accounts you win are also set up to stay and grow.
