It's not affordable for SMBs.We are not that advanced to start ABM.We don't have enough resources to create personalized content for all buyer personas.ABM is not scalable.Actually, it doesn't surprise me.99% of ABM content is produced be enterprise Martech vendors, where they share examples of ABM plays that require:- 6-figure stack- Big team of content creators, designers, marketers, SDRs, AEs, etc- Long timeline to orchestrate and execute the campaignAll of this is a bulls..t, and I tried to prove it with a recent case study about the ABM campaign (https://fullfunnel.io/abm-campaign/) that generated $300k in sales with $5k and 2 people.To push things further, I've invited Steve Watt, marketing director at Seismic and the author of ABM course at CXL.
