How Does Enablement Support ABX Programs?
Account-Based Experience (ABX) aligns marketing, sales, and success around a curated journey for target accounts. Sales enablement supplies the plays, proof, and coaching that turn ABX signals into relevant conversations and revenue.
Enablement operationalizes ABX by equipping teams with account-specific narratives, stage-coded assets, and coordinated plays embedded in CRM. It closes the loop from intent and engagement to meetings, opportunities, and expansion.
What Enablement Adds to ABX
The ABX Enablement Workflow
A repeatable loop that translates account signals into high-value interactions and measurable outcomes.
Target → Engage → Convert → Validate → Commit → Expand
- Target: Align ICP, buying groups, and account tiers; define stage exit criteria and success metrics.
- Engage: Launch program-themed sequences with persona-specific provocations and relevant proof.
- Convert: Surface next-best actions in CRM for SDR/AE; route signals to the right owner with SLAs.
- Validate: Enable ROI/TCO, reference kits, and security/compliance packets to de-risk decisions.
- Commit: Use mutual action plans and executive summaries to accelerate legal and procurement.
- Expand: Hand off success plans to CS and run adoption plays for renewals and cross-sell.
