Content & Personalization:
How Do I Create Content For Different Buying Stages In ABX?
Map buyer stages to jobs-to-be-done, build modular assets for each stage, and personalize with role, industry, and intent signals—so every touch moves the deal forward.
Use a stage-aligned content system: (1) define 5–6 buying stages with success criteria, (2) create purpose-built assets for each stage (problem, proof, path), and (3) personalize by industry, role, and account signals. Instrument content to measure meetings, multi-threading, stage velocity, and win rate.
Principles For Stage-Aligned Content
The Stage Content Playbook
A practical sequence to plan, produce, and activate content across ABX buying stages.
Step-by-Step
- Define your stage model — Discover, Engage, Consider, Validate, Commit, and Expand; set exit criteria for each.
- Map jobs-to-be-done — For each stage, capture buyer questions, decision risks, and required proof.
- Design asset kits — Build a minimal set per stage: 1 email, 1 page, 1 social, 1 seller aid, 1 proof tile.
- Personalize by role & industry — Use tokens for KPIs, regulations, and stack; add account-specific proof for late stages.
- Activate in channels — Orchestrate email, ads, social, events, and SDR outreach with consistent stage messaging.
- Measure stage lift — Track meetings, multi-threading, conversion to next stage, and time-in-stage.
- Retire or iterate — Replace low-lift assets quarterly; scale high performers to adjacent segments.
