Customer Success Integration:
How Do I Create Advocacy Programs Within ABX?
Build an always-on, consented advocate pipeline that fuels pipeline, accelerates deals, and powers expansion. Use ABX signals (NPS, usage milestones, outcomes) to recruit advocates, route the right ask, and measure revenue impact.
Create advocacy inside ABX by programming eligibility, value exchange, and routing. Recruit advocates when they hit clear triggers (Promoter NPS, adoption milestones, ROI events), capture opt-in + permissions, and route each contact to the best-fit ask—reference call, review, case study, peer event, or community role. Operationalize with SLAs, tiers, capacity caps, and revenue KPIs (wins influenced, cycle-time reduction, expansion sourced).
Principles for ABX-Ready Advocacy
Your 90-Day Advocacy Launch Plan
Recruit with intent, route with ABX, and scale with governance.
Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3
- Days 1–30: Design & Instrument — Define eligibility triggers (NPS, usage, outcomes), create opt-in flow and legal templates, build an Advocate Roster object in CRM with tags (role, industry, product, proof types), and publish SLAs for requests and thank-you follow-up.
- Days 31–60: Orchestrate Plays — Launch three tracks: Reference Desk (match advocates to opps), Social Proof Factory (reviews, quotes, logo gallery), and Community & Peer (roundtables, councils). Route via ABX audiences and log outcomes to the roster.
- Days 61–90: Scale & Govern — Add tiers and exposure caps, automate matching and scheduling, integrate with CS health scoring, and ship a dashboard for wins influenced, ref. fill rate, time-to-reference, and NRR uplift.
Ad-Hoc Advocacy vs. ABX-Programmed Advocacy
| Dimension | Ad-Hoc | ABX-Programmed | Primary KPI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sourcing | Manual asks from AEs | Signals (NPS, adoption, ROI) auto-flag advocates | Roster growth & coverage |
| Matching | Whoever is available | Lookalike match on industry, segment, product, role | Reference win-rate lift |
| Compliance | Approval tracked in email | Centralized consent & claim governance | Claim accuracy; legal cycle time |
| Capacity | Overuse of a few logos | Exposure caps & tiered rewards | Reference fill rate |
| Measurement | Activity counts | Influenced pipeline, TTR, NRR impact | Revenue attribution |
