Grounded in common sense and case-based advice; a must read." * Larry Weber, Chairman & CEO, Racepoint Global and author of 'The Digital Marketer' * "A must-read practical guide for anyone planning for ABM or indeed already on the journey. Read this book to avoid making the mistakes others have made and learn from the pioneers of ABM." * Peter Lundie, Managing Partner, Agent3 * "The competitive landscape for business marketers has become so crowded that ABM is now a must for companies seeking to truly differentiate themselves with their most important customers and prospects. Given their deep knowledge, practical experience, and pioneering roles within ABM, Dave and Bev are the perfect guides for this essential marketing strategy." * John Hall, Co-founder, Influence & Co. and author of 'Top of Mind' * "If there's one person who can take credit for the current upsurge in interest in ABM, it has to be Bev Burgess. Her work to formalise, evangelise and galvanise the disparate people talking about and working at ABM has been inspirational and transformational - without her ABM wouldn't be the hot topic that it is today." * Joel Harrison, Editor-in-chief, B2B Marketing * "Marketing is only as valuable as its proximity to a customer, and Burgess and Munn have provided the definitive guide to Account Based Marketing. Very simply, their process works wonders in driving growth.
