How Does Enablement Support ABX Programs?
Account-Based Experience (ABX) wins when every touch is orchestrated and relevant. Enablement provides the plays, content, coaching, tools, and data that align marketing, sales, and CS to deliver a single experience across the buying committee.
Enablement powers ABX by operationalizing account intelligence → tiered plays → buying-committee engagement → proof & value. It equips teams with role-based talk tracks, 1:1/1:few/1:many plays, mutual action plans (MAPs), and signal-driven follow-ups, while managers coach for consistency. Measure impact via account engagement, meeting rate, stage conversion, deal velocity, ACV, and expansion/NRR.
What Enablement Adds to ABX
The ABX Enablement Playbook
Translate account insights into orchestrated engagements that progress deals and expansions.
Identify → Prioritize → Plan → Orchestrate → Prove → Advance → Land & Expand → Govern
- Identify: Define ICP and intent thresholds; enrich accounts with firmographic/technographic data.
- Prioritize: Tier accounts (1:1, 1:few, 1:many) and assign coverage across SDR/AE/AM/CS.
- Plan: Build account plans and buying-committee maps; select value narratives and use cases.
- Orchestrate: Launch sequenced plays across channels with role-based talk tracks and assets.
- Prove: Deploy ROI calculators, references, and pilots; provide security/compliance packets.
- Advance: Use MAPs with dates, owners, risks, and approvals; run weekly deal reviews.
- Land & Expand: Post-sale plays for adoption, value checkpoints, and multi-line expansion.
- Govern: Quarterly ABX council: close content gaps, refine signals, and reallocate budget.
