The New B2B Marketing Funnel


Measure what matters for more predictable outcomes.

Properly showing the outcomes of your ABM programs starts with using modern measurement tools to measure what matters
­— revenue outcomes — rather than lead-based vanity metrics.

Whether you’re using Terminus or another program to measure, you’ll want to implement a funnel that lets you measure:

• Engaged Accounts as a subset of your target account list


• Opened Opportunities from accounts in your list
• Total Pipeline, measured as a dollar value
• Revenue Won and New Companies Acquired from your target account list.
• Average Contract Value, which is typically higher for account-based initiatives
• Average Deal Cycle, which is often up to 20% shorter for target account programs.
