Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is on everyone’s mind now. ABM is a strategy that concentrates sales and marketing on targeted accounts within their market, using personalized campaigns designed to the individual account. As Justin Gray points out in his article on LinkedIn, it is important to remember that the sales team is not “hands off” in this process. Align your sales and marketing teams for greater return, and don’t forget to measure your results regularly!

This is one area of technology that will be interesting to watch in 2017. If smartphones have changed how we do business, just over the past 20 years, just imagine how things will change with wearable tech. What insights will your business be able to gain? Where will you find your customers? Will you market to them differently?
If the IHS is correct in their predictions, smart glasses and clothing will see the most significant growth.
