Summary

Moving to an account-based model may seem like a natural progression for a sales organization as its customer base matures. The change, however, requires a well-planned strategic transition driven by buyer needs, and must occur only after the organization has assessed its readiness. Sales operations should lead this collaborative decision-making and planning process and ensure that marketing is included. This report outlines Forrester’s Account-Based Model Decision Framework — a decision process that helps B2B sales organizations determine whether they are prepared for the transition to an account-based model.
