I enjoyed this morning's interactive session with 20+ experienced B2B IT marketers at "ABX over Breakfast—GenAI edition"- organised by Hotwire Asia Pacific. The insightful conversations and engagements made it a meaningful experience for me, and I sincerely appreciate your contributions. A few discussion topics that stood out to me: 📦 One-to-one ABX is a long-term strategy for influencing an account. In contrast, One-to-One Deal-Based ABX is short-term and focused on specific opportunities, primarily activated to support an extensive RFP or tender process. 📘 Account Insight Dossiers for One-to-One ABX have a shelf life that depends on the account's industry and your product's and solution's lifecycle. If the account is from a fast-moving industry, like BFSI - the dossier is valid for 3 to 6 months. For a slow-moving industry like manufacturing, you can wait a year before revising the dossier. 💬 Contextual conversations that are meaningful to your audience lead to more engagement and an accelerated revenue pipeline. Try to solve PUR (Painful, Ungent, Recognized) problems with your content and engagements. 📢 Marketing should be measured on multiple dimensions, such as reputation, relationship, revenue, and retention, rather than just based on superficial metrics like top-of-the-funnel leads or MQL. 🧭 Marketing is not an absolute science. We need to be comfortable with ambiguity and the possibility of failure. A balanced approach of 80% business as usual and 20% experimentation is an excellent mix to avoid a me-too market. 🎨 Even in the age of data driven everything - Marketing is a fundamentally creative field and should not be boiled down to only data and dashboards. 🤖 AI is expected to replace 50% of marketing jobs and 60% of agency roles.
