ABX Campaign Orchestration:
How Do I Orchestrate Campaigns Across the Buying Journey?
Coordinate stage-specific plays, shared triggers, and clear handoffs so every touch advances consensus—not just clicks. This page gives you the swimlanes, rules, and KPIs to run ABX end-to-end.
Orchestrate ABX by mapping the buying journey (Explore → Diagnose → Evaluate → Decide → Commit), defining stage objectives & exit criteria, and activating plays per persona & channel with shared triggers, suppressions, and SLAs. Use one scorecard that ladders to meetings, progression, and revenue—not vanity metrics.
First Principles for Journey-Based ABX
Journey Orchestration Playbook (Map → Design → Instrument → Activate → Optimize)
Align people, process, data, and tech so signals move buyers forward.
1) Map
- Define stages: Explore, Diagnose, Evaluate, Decide, Commit (post-sale value kickoff).
- List buyer jobs: problem framing, requirements, risk mitigation, consensus building, ROI.
2) Design
- Objectives & exit criteria per stage (e.g., “Exit Evaluate when champion secures internal demo + business case draft”).
- Plays per persona & channel: what to say, proof to show, and CTA to ask.
3) Instrument
- Triggers (intent spike, page depth, pricing views) and suppressions (reply, meeting, opp stage).
- SLAs & routing with alerts, owner rules, and cool-offs baked into CRM/MAP/CDP.
4) Activate
- Launch in sprints—start with Tier A, then expand to Tier B/C.
- Sales enablement—talk tracks, objection handling, and “why now” narratives by stage.
5) Optimize
- Scorecard: meetings, progression rate, opp creation, win rate, cycle time.
- Retire/iterate plays every 2–4 weeks based on stage-specific lift, not opens/clicks.
