They discuss key metrics and benchmarks for ABM success, why engagement measurement is important but challenging, and tips for modeling engagement in a scrappy way when resources are limited. Best Moments: (05:14) Metrics and benchmarks for ABM are difficult because every company defines and measures things differently. There is no standard model or funnel. (08:11) Engagement can be measured at the account and contact levels. Important to track buying group engagement for open opportunities.

(19:34) Marketing, sales, and customer success touches should all be included in engagement modeling. Focus on meaningful interactions. (23:10) For scrappy marketers, start tracking engagement manually in Excel while proving out the model before investing in more advanced tech.
