Account-Based Selling
Definition
Account-based selling (ABS) is a strategic sales approach that treats individual accounts as markets of one, coordinating personalized outreach and engagement across multiple stakeholders within a target organization. Unlike volume-based selling, ABS focuses resources on high-value accounts with coordinated multi-touch, multi-stakeholder strategies.
Why Conversation Intelligence Is Essential for Account-Based Selling
ABS requires deep understanding of multiple stakeholders within an account — their individual priorities, concerns, and relationships. Conversation intelligence is the best way to build this understanding at scale. By analyzing calls with different stakeholders at the same account, agencies can map the decision dynamics: who champions the deal, who blocks it, what each stakeholder cares about, and how to craft messaging that addresses everyone's priorities. Without conversation data, ABS becomes guesswork about stakeholder alignment.
