6 Sales-Alignment Plays from ABM Leaders at Snowflake, Datadog, Unisys
In a roundtable hosted by MarTech, ABM leaders from Snowflake, Datadog, and Unisys shared six plays for aligning sales and marketing at enterprise scale. They emphasize that alignment is an ongoing discipline, not a one-time event. Key plays include reconciling target account lists, shifting from handoffs to relay-style collaboration, building a signal layer that returns actionable recommendations rather than raw data, selling support rather than tiers, enabling reps in their existing workflows, and applying AI to operational tasks while reinvesting in 1:1 personalized engagement. The leaders also discussed using person-level signals, aggregating intent and business context, and proving ABM's impact through shared goals and measurable results.
