ABM isn’t a fancier way to run targeted demand gen. If you treat it that way, it fails.

In this episode, Kristina Jaramillo of Personal ABM breaks down what true one-to-one looks like, when you’re actually ready to go up-market, and why ABM should start with customers to drive expansion before net-new.

We get into lagging “intent” signals, how to avoid tool-led strategy, what to measure, and the cross-functional rhythms Sales, Marketing, and CS need to progress deals and embed your solution across the account.

If you’ve said “we’re doing ABM” but meant “we uploaded a list,” this one’s for you.
