The Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is exactly what you imagine it to be. It defines the key characteristics of the ideal accounts you want to attract and nurture. ICP attributes should match your company\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

To create your ICP, you use both internal and external data. This helps align your Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Identifying ICP criteria is the starting point for every Account-Based Marketing (ABM) campaign. It guides the creation of your target account list and other key decisions throughout your marketing efforts. Essentially, it’s the foundation of a successful and repeatable process list development process.<\/p>\n

In a brainstorm session with the Growly team, you\u2019ll get to the initial definition of your ICP. Our Online Marketing department will then complete a targeting check on the most used advertising channels like LinkedIn and Facebook to see if your ICP\u2019s scope is large enough to target some of these accounts through online advertising.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve defined your Ideal Customer Profile, it\u2019s time to go deeper and create buyer personas. A buyer persona is a detailed, semi-fictional profile of a person who might be interested in what you have to offer. It is a realistic type based on the ICP that includes a description of specific characteristics, behavior, roles, responsibilities, challenges, goals and wishes, among other relevant information.<\/p>\n

Defining these buyer personas allows you to get a feel for your target audience, which in turn creates a great opportunity to determine specific marketing techniques. It also ensures that the resulting account list provides coverage of all impactful target accounts like CXO, marketing, sales reps, external influencers, etc.<\/p>\n

Information is knowledge. In order to create realistic buyer personas, the Growly team will first fill out a buyer persona canvas with all available information.

In B2B marketing, you generally need to convince more than one person for their company to choose you as their partner. A Decision Making Unit (DMU) in ABM consists of key stakeholders who influence the buying process and decisions. The DMU can be made up of any number of people, ranging from one person to a whole group.<\/p>\n

Prioritizing who\u2019s who in the Decision Making Unit is essential. In a typical B2B purchase of any significance, there will likely be a more complex DMU. In simple terms, more details need to be communicated to more people, each of whom potentially have different information needs.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, less is more. At Growly, we believe a DMU canvas only needs to be created when:
– it\u2019s essential for the specific proposition we aim to market in the ABM program;
– the ABM program consists of an individualized approach\u2028aimed at anywhere from 20 to 50 accounts.<\/p>\n

If both of these criteria are met, the Growly team constructs a DMU canvas that is prioritized around the buyer personas. Once you\u2019ve given final sign-off, the DMU is ready to be put in place.<\/p>\n

Target account list<\/h2>\n

Have you defined the Ideal Customer Profile, your buyer personas and a DMU if necessary? Then it\u2019s time to select and prioritize the list of target accounts. This list contains both the named accounts that your company will engage and the target contacts within those accounts who match the defined buyer persona criteria.<\/p>\n

Defining your target account list is critical. Keep in mind however, that it\u2019s impossible to effectively engage all companies at once. Ranking and prioritizing your target account list based on data and intent is crucial. The result is a tiered account list based on expected value, both financial and strategic. You can then use it to align resources to target accounts.<\/p>\n
