About the book

Develop long-term relationships, deliver market-beating growth, and create sustainable value with this pragmatic guide to aligning marketing, sales, customer success and your executives around your most important customers.

Many B2B companies make half their profitable revenue from just three percent of their customers, yet don't recognize the significance of these accounts, nor invest appropriately in them.

Account-Based Growth introduces a comprehensive framework for improving internal alignment and external engagement with these vital few. It contains bullet-pointed takeaways at the end of each chapter plus a comprehensive checklist to help you improve your own company's approach to its most important customers.

Each element of the framework is brought to life through viewpoints from industry experts and case studies from leading organizations including Accenture, Fujitsu, Infosys, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Telstra.

  • In business life, I cannot think of anything more satisfying than creating value for customers and, in the process, creating value for all stakeholders including the Planet. A few years ago, when Account Based Marketing first emerged, I said that it was a paradigm shift for the marketing domain. I have not changed my view. Please read this book to find out why. Incidentally, both authors are brilliant.
