Account-Based Marketing In The Channel

As B2B organizations go to market, they must define the rules of engagement for marketing and selling to known accounts.

Partners often offer needed skill sets, expertise, or resources that suppliers either can’t provide or can’t scale. In this report, we explain how suppliers should sync account-based marketing efforts across indirect channels for named and large accounts.
