Driving Stronger ARR, GRR and NRR Growth with ABM and Revenue Enablement
As many teams struggle with driving stage progression (accounts going dark), increasing win rates and ACV (many companies are reporting 10% drops in enterprise deals), protecting and expanding key accounts (82% of b2b buyers are indifferent, disengaged or actively looking to replace a vendor), we asked Steve Richard (SVP of Revenue Enablement at MediaFly) to join us on the ABM Done Right Podcast to discuss: Know your number and what it takes to get there.In many cases, ABM is being implemented without the teams taking a good look at the business -- and seeing where there are gaps and where do we need to change interactions/experiences/motions so we can get to the number that leadership wants. You'll learn what teams need to look for to see what we need to fix and prepare sellers for.Why sales enablement is not enough. You'll see the gaps in most sales enablement programs, how revenue enablement differs from sales enablement and how we need revenue enablement and account-based enablement to drive ARR, GRR, and NRR. We also talk about what revenue enablement and what account-based enablement should look like.The key areas where sellers need help.We discuss key challenges that sellers and customer success teams have with multithreading, influencing internal conversations, driving stage progression, and getting larger ACV. You'll see how you can enable teams to accelerate high-value tier 1 accounts to revenue at a higher deal size.Driving GRR and NRR We discuss how most customer success teams are managing accounts vs. being in protection/expansion selling conversations. We talk about the challenges that customer success teams have -- and where the gaps lie in their conversations/interactions that have them losing the interest of the C-suite and VPs after the close. We also discuss ABM for customer marketing and how teams go onto customer calls thinking they'll be able to upsell/cross-sell, and the conversation quickly turns to saving the account for renewal and why this is happening.
