This document discusses account-based marketing (ABM) as an alternative to traditional lead-based marketing. ABM focuses marketing and sales efforts on specific accounts or companies rather than individual leads. It notes that on average, only 1% of leads turn into customers for most companies. The document advertises an event in San Francisco on February 25, 2016 about ABM featuring speakers Dave Rigotti and Sangram Vajre and provides resources for ABM tools and communities.
