Account-Based Experiences:
Elevating Personalization in Sales
What Are Account-Based Experiences?
Account-based experiences (ABX) are a strategic approach where sales and marketing efforts are highly personalized for individual accounts. It’s about creating unique, highly personalized interactions and communications for individual accounts. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, ABX ensures every interaction feels bespoke and perfectly tailored to each customer’s tastes.

Insights from Industry Leaders
Judi Hand, CRO at TTEC, knows the magic of personalization: “The very first thing that makes for a great experience is the personalized nature of it. When I talk to my bank, I don’t want to feel like I’m just one of the people in line that is anonymous. Personalization is so key so that people really feel like they’re being treated as the individual that they are and not just somebody in an assembly line.” (Reveal: The Revenue Intelligence Podcast)
Alex Levin, CEO of Regal.io, highlights how personalization can build lasting relationships: “If you were to call a customer when they have $100,000 in the bank account and ask them if they want to move it from a checking account to a savings account to make a little bit of interest, what does that do for the long-term relationship? It’s about creating an experience that drives the most revenue for the brand and supports the customer.” (Reveal: The Revenue Intelligence Podcast)
