ABX Campaign Orchestration:
What’s The Ideal Sequence For Account Engagement?
Start with lightweight awareness, progress to value-led education, then orchestrate human outreach, proof, and decision support. Use shared triggers and one calendar to pace touches by stage, persona, and tier.
The ideal sequence follows seven beats: Prime → Warm → Engage → Propose → Prove → Progress → Expand. Prime with account-aware media, warm with persona education, engage via coordinated email + social, propose meaningful next steps, prove with customer evidence and product access, progress opportunities with timely human outreach, then expand post-sale with success plays. Use entry/exit triggers and frequency caps to move accounts forward without fatigue.
Principles For A High-Performing Sequence
The Ideal Account Engagement Sequence
A practical, time-boxed sequence you can templatize and scale across tiers.
Step-By-Step (6–8 Weeks)
- Prime (Days 1–7) — Launch account-list ads and executive social; personalize website hero for industry and role.
- Warm (Days 5–14) — Send persona-specific guides; retarget site visitors; add light nurture to users and influencers.
- Engage (Days 10–21) — Invite to webinar/workshop; run LinkedIn DM from exec sponsor; surface chat-to-rep for named accounts.
- Propose (Days 18–28) — Present a next step: assessment, ROI calculator, or use-case canvas; enable SDR with talk tracks.
- Prove (Days 21–35) — Deliver customer story, reference call, or sandbox; add product-led signal (trial, feature tour) if applicable.
- Progress (Days 28–45) — SDR/AE sequences (12–15 steps) align to the same theme; schedule discovery and solution review.
- Expand (Days 45+) — After first value, run success/onboarding plays and expansion offers; add advocacy asks.
