We just shipped a 4,500-word ABM guide with Kyle Poyar at Growth Unhinged.

If you’re a B2B company with:

  • an ACV of $50k+

  • a constrained TAM (<20,000 qualified companies)

And already have a team of BDRs…

This is exactly the program we’d recommend running.

Here’s what the program covers:

How to build a modern ABM engine

1. TAM and stakeholder mapping

  • Pull closed-won and closed-lost data from your CRM

  • Interview AEs and CSMs to find patterns

  • Build the ICP based on firmographics, technographics, account fit signals

  • Combine 3+ data sources for TAM coverage

  • Qualify with AI agents in Clay

  • Source stakeholders by persona

  • Verify contacts via Findymail and BetterContact

2. Account research

We typically use 30+ custom data points per account, all mapped to HubSpot properties:

  • Company headcount

  • Tech stack and competitor usage

  • Recent funding events

  • Parent-child company relationships

  • Industry-specific signals (clinical trials, media buying, etc.)

3. CRM cleanup and enrichment

  • Dedupe CRM using domains and emails

  • Trigger via list enrollment or webhooks

  • Backfill existing records

  • Custom views and segments by tier

  • On-demand enrichment buttons for reps

4. Signal tracking

Track signals across three categories:

  • 1st-party signals: data you own

  • 2nd-party signals: data given exclusively to you

  • 3rd-party signals: public data

Sync to CRM as custom events.

Route to reps and create CRM tasks and Slack notifications.

5. Awareness scoring

Roll up 1st and 2nd party signals into an awareness score.

Five stages:

  • Identified

  • Aware

  • Interested

  • Considering

  • Selecting

Automatically update awareness using workflows.

6. Demand generation

Use tiering and awareness to plan account activation.

1:1 plays

  • Warm intros

  • Personalized microsites

  • Event invites

  • Manual outreach

1:many plays

  • Automated emails

  • Parallel dialing

  • Retargeting ads

  • Webinars and social content

  • Video outreach

  • Connection requests / DMs

7. ICP pipeline progression reporting

The closing loop: knowing what's actually working.

Reports we set up in HubSpot:

  • Pipeline by tier

  • Pipeline by segment

  • Pipeline by play

  • Conversion rates across awareness stages

  • Days-to-close by tier

So what do you do with this?

ABM looks nothing like the playbook from 2018. The new version is built on signals, AI enrichment, and GTM engineering.

We’ve implemented dozens of these programs.
