Skenario Umum
Skenario 1: Target account tidak merespons setelah full cadence
Situasi: 5 email + LinkedIn outreach selesai, tidak ada response.
Tindakan: (1) Jangan langsung give up — cool-off 30 hari. (2) Coba approach dari angle berbeda: different persona, different value prop. (3) Engage their content di LinkedIn tanpa pitching. (4) Jika ada event/webinar, invite secara personal. (5) Re-evaluate: apakah account ini memang right fit?
Skenario 2: Ingin mulai ABM tapi resources terbatas
Situasi: Tim marketing kecil, ingin mulai ABM tapi overwhelming.
Tindakan: Start small: (1) Pilih 5 Tier 1 accounts saja. (2) Fokus pada 1 channel (LinkedIn). (3) Gunakan existing content yang di-customize minimal. (4) Coordinate closely dengan Sales. (5) Measure results setelah 1 quarter, scale jika berhasil.
Skenario 3: Sales dan Marketing tidak aligned on target accounts
Situasi: Marketing punya list, Sales punya list, keduanya berbeda.
Tindakan: (1) Schedule alignment meeting. (2) Gunakan objektif selection criteria (lihat framework di atas). (3) Score semua candidates bersama. (4) Agree on final list. (5) Document rationale. (6) Commit ke quarterly review.
