About this book

ABM 7: ROI AND MEASUREMENT How Revenue Teams Prove, Improve, and Scale Account-Based Growth Most Account-Based Marketing books teach you how to launch campaigns. Very few teach you how to prove they work. ABM 7: ROI and Measurement is the practical guide for revenue leaders who want to replace assumptions with evidence and activity with measurable business outcomes. Whether you're building your first ABM program or refining a mature revenue operation, this book provides a straightforward framework for measuring what matters, improving performance, and making better investment decisions. Written in a clear, practical style, this book avoids unnecessary complexity and focuses on the metrics that drive commercial success. Instead of overwhelming readers with theory or complicated attribution models, it shows how to build a measurement system that marketing, sales, customer success, and executive leadership can all understand and use. Inside you'll learn how to: • Build an ABM measurement framework that aligns the entire Revenue Team • Measure engagement, pipeline, revenue, and ROI with confidence • Select metrics that support better business decisions instead of creating reporting overload • Evaluate win rates, deal size, expansion revenue, retention, and customer value • Understand attribution without becoming trapped by overly complex models • Measure pipeline velocity, conversion rates, and buying journey progression • Analyze performance by account tier, industry, geography, ICP, and customer segment • Compare sourced versus influenced pipeline and understand each metric's purpose • Build executive dashboards that communicate commercial impact clearly • Measure profitability, contribution margin, cost-to-acquire, and cost-to-serve • Improve forecasting with confidence scoring and pipeline risk analysis • Create a continuous improvement system that reallocates investment toward what consistently delivers results At the heart of the book is a simple philosophy: Measurement is not about producing reports. It is about making better decisions. Every chapter includes practical templates, dashboards, visual frameworks, and real-world examples that can be adapted immediately to your own organization. From startup to enterprise, the principles remain the same: measure consistently, learn continuously, invest intelligently, and improve relentlessly. Part of the ABM 7 series, this volume focuses on Step 7—ROI and Measurement—the stage where every marketing and sales investment is ultimately tested. It demonstrates how high-performing Revenue Teams use data not to justify past decisions, but to guide future ones. If you want your ABM program to earn greater executive confidence, stronger budget support, and sustained commercial growth, this book provides the measurement framework to make that happen. Measure what matters. Prove what works. Improve continuously. Scale with confidence.
