Choosing the right platform for your company
You need: Predictive analytics Use: 6sense or built-in predictive model via HubSpot
You need: Account-based advertising Use: Demandbase or Terminus
You need: Intent data Use: 6sense, Demandbase, Playtimize, or Bombora
You need: Sales-led execution Use: Apollo or Playtimize
You need: Research and enrichment Use: ZoomInfo or Clearbit
You need: Relationship mapping Use: LinkedIn Sales Navigator
You're on HubSpot: Use: HubSpot ABM (don't add tools unless you outgrow it)
Real talk: most successful ABM programs use multiple platforms
Very few companies use a single ABM platform. Most use: - A data layer (ZoomInfo, Clearbit, 6sense) - An execution layer (Demandbase, Terminus, Apollo) - An intelligence layer (LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Playtimize) - Their CRM (Salesforce or HubSpot)
The key is choosing platforms that integrate well and don't create data silos.
Start with what you need today, not what you might need in 18 months. Add tools as your needs grow.
