How Unified Dashboards Improve ABM ROI

Unified dashboards simplify how businesses measure and improve account-based marketing (ABM) results. They consolidate data from various tools - like CRM systems, marketing platforms, and web analytics - into a single, account-focused view. This helps sales and marketing teams better track engagement, pipeline progress, and revenue impact.

Key takeaways:

• Unified dashboards connect fragmented data, offering a clear view of account engagement and campaign performance.

• They improve ROI tracking by focusing on metrics like engagement depth, deal velocity, and revenue per account.

• Businesses using these dashboards report faster sales cycles, higher win rates, and reduced acquisition costs.

• Examples include Schneider Electric (21% revenue growth) and Snowflake (3× higher campaign attendance, 50% faster deal closures).

Sales Cloud: Account-Based Marketing Dashboard

How Unified Dashboards Change ABM Measurement

Unified dashboards bring together various data streams, streamlining reporting and making ROI measurement more accurate. Instead of relying on channel-specific metrics, these dashboards aggregate all activities and outcomes for each target account into a single, account-focused view. This shift allows marketing and sales teams to track the entire journey - from initial intent signals to pipeline creation and revenue generation. With this comprehensive perspective, teams gain better visibility and can attribute results more effectively.

For UK businesses, especially those in industries with lengthy procurement cycles and multi-stakeholder buying processes, this approach is transformative. Traditional channel reports often fail to provide a clear picture of how accounts engage over time, making it tough to determine whether marketing efforts are driving real influence or just creating noise. Unified dashboards replace this fragmented view with a reliable, shared source of data. This helps teams evaluate ROI, prioritise actions, and refine campaigns in real time.

Better Account Engagement Visibility

Unified dashboards consolidate multiple data sources, including first-party data (like website activity, webinar attendance, and email engagement), CRM-tracked sales activity (such as meetings and opportunity progression), and third-party intent signals. By integrating these at the account level, teams get a full picture of engagement across decision-makers, rather than focusing on isolated interactions with individuals.

This information is presented through features like engagement score timelines, stakeholder heatmaps showing active roles and seniority levels, journey stage indicators, and lists of "rising" or "at-risk" accounts based on recent behaviour. For UK teams, dashboards are tailored to local standards, with formats like DD/MM/YYYY for dates and metrics displayed in familiar units, ensuring clarity for all stakeholders.

Take Payscale, for example. By using improved segmentation and unified measurement, they achieved a 500% increase in target account traffic, reduced time to close by 45%, and saw a sixfold ROI on ABM efforts. Their programme also boosted MQLs by 10–15%, with 60% of leads being entirely new to the business [2]. Similarly, Auth0 generated £1 million in additional pipeline within just seven weeks, alongside 6× higher conversion rates and 15× greater engagement from one-to-one ABM accounts - all thanks to precise tracking of account engagement and campaign performance [2].

A key part of this visibility is creating an actionable engagement scoring model. Organisations assign different weights to activities based on their relevance to the buying stage - high-value behaviours like product demos or pricing page visits score higher, while generic actions like reading a blog score lower. These scores, combined with factors like stakeholder seniority and recency, are aggregated at the account level. They are then presented as a numeric score (e.g., 0–100) and labelled with terms like "Cold", "Warming", or "Hot." This helps sales teams prioritise outreach and align their efforts with marketing activities. Advanced programmes often enhance this model by blending intent data with engagement scores, allowing teams to focus on accounts that are both active and ready to buy, saving time and resources.

Supporting Multi-Touch Attribution

Unified dashboards also improve attribution models by capturing every interaction and linking them to pipeline and revenue outcomes. This is especially important in complex B2B deals, such as those in financial services or enterprise SaaS, where multiple stakeholders and touchpoints are involved over extended timelines.

Dashboards highlight key ROI metrics like sourced and influenced pipeline value (in pounds), win rates, deal sizes, sales cycle lengths, and revenue per account. These metrics are segmented by ABM versus non-ABM accounts, offering a clear picture of performance. Efficiency metrics, such as cost per engaged account, cost per opportunity, and ROI per £1 spent on ABM, further help leadership allocate budgets and credit channels effectively.

For example, Salesforce's healthcare ABM programme used intent and live engagement data to attribute a 32% increase in pipeline to targeted accounts [3]. Adobe’s enterprise ABM programme, which utilised AI and predictive analytics, reported a 60% increase in deal size and a 40% boost in retention among targeted accounts [3]. Similarly, Drift saw 60% higher engagement, three times the page views, and a 22% pipeline increase by using personalised on-site chat for target accounts - all tracked through account-level dashboards [3].

Invoca's ABM campaign achieved impressive results too, generating 35 new pipeline opportunities, over 50 meetings with high-priority accounts, and a 33× ROI on campaign spend. These outcomes were made possible by coordinated reporting that pinpointed which accounts were responding [2].

Improving Sales and Marketing Alignment

Unified dashboards play a key role in aligning sales and marketing teams by providing shared definitions of success. These include clear criteria for what constitutes an engaged account, how pipeline contributions are measured, and benchmarks for deal velocity and revenue impact. A single, real-time view of account progression eliminates discrepancies caused by separate reports, reducing friction and missed opportunities. This alignment supports faster sales cycles and strengthens budget justification, reinforcing the ROI benefits.

Key shared views include target account lists showing engagement and intent status, pipeline reports segmented by stage and ABM influence, and weekly updates on newly engaged accounts, stalled opportunities, and suggested next steps. These insights drive daily decision-making across CRM systems (used by sales) and analytics platforms (used by marketing).

Mindtickle offers a great example of this alignment in action. By adopting a unified, data-driven ABM process, their sales, marketing, and growth operations teams were "speaking one truth", leading to better prioritisation and personalisation at scale [2]. Similarly, Engagio (now part of Demandbase) demonstrated how coordinated account orchestration can drive 300% higher engagement and reduce sales cycles by over 35% compared to non-ABM accounts [3].

To achieve this level of integration, organisations need tech stacks that connect CRM, marketing automation, website analytics, and intent data into a central platform, using consistent account IDs and data standards. This requires well-designed data schemas, robust governance to meet UK privacy regulations, and clear ownership of data quality. Training is also crucial to ensure teams can interpret dashboards correctly and integrate them into their workflows.

Research underscores the value of mature ABM programmes with strong measurement capabilities. Forrester reports that ABM can deliver 21–350% higher ROI than traditional marketing when properly measured [1]. Surveys also show that improving marketing’s ability to report on ROI - often through integrated technology and unified dashboards - correlates with better account engagement, higher MQL-to-opportunity conversion rates, and increased pipeline value.

In complex and regulated markets, unified dashboards must account for longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, and strict compliance requirements. Configurations should include stakeholder mapping, approval stages, and compliance touchpoints alongside standard engagement and revenue metrics. Specialist agencies like Twenty One Twelve Marketing can help define predictive engagement indicators, design effective measurement frameworks, and customise ABM dashboards to deliver actionable insights for UK stakeholders - from sales teams to compliance officers and board members.

Proven ROI Gains from Unified Dashboards

Unified ABM dashboards have shown clear success in improving ROI by bringing together data and eliminating disjointed reporting. Companies that shift from channel-specific metrics to account-level insights often see enhanced revenue, faster pipeline progression, and greater cost efficiency. These benefits are well-documented through research, case studies, and real-world applications across various industries, including technology, SaaS, financial services, and manufacturing.

By using a unified measurement framework, businesses can achieve measurable ROI improvements. These dashboards are especially effective because they don’t just boost top-line metrics like pipeline value - they also optimise spending, shorten sales cycles, and enable teams to focus on accounts with the highest conversion potential. For UK companies operating in competitive or regulated sectors, this combination of increased revenue and reduced acquisition costs makes a strong case for adopting unified dashboards. Below, we explore how these benefits play out in mature ABM programmes, pipeline acceleration, and efficiency improvements.

Higher ROI in Mature ABM Programmes

Data consistently shows that well-tracked ABM programmes deliver much higher returns compared to traditional marketing methods. According to Forrester, ABM can generate 21–350% higher ROI than conventional demand generation when executed effectively [1]. Moreover, 81% of marketers confirm that ABM delivers better ROI than other marketing approaches [1].

Unified dashboards play a critical role in achieving these results. They enable businesses to accurately attribute revenue, monitor costs per engaged account, and measure ROI at both account and segment levels. This transparency allows teams to quickly reallocate budgets to the most effective tactics and accounts, driving further ROI improvements. In well-established ABM programmes, where dashboards are used daily by sales, marketing, and revenue operations teams, organisations can directly link a larger portion of their pipeline and closed revenue to ABM efforts. This makes the performance gap between ABM and non-ABM activities clear and justifiable to leadership.

For example, BillingTree saw a 60% response rate and a 15% conversion rate on targeted campaigns after adopting unified reporting. These efforts resulted in £280,000 in closed opportunities (converted from USD 350,000) and an estimated 700% ROI on ABM spending. Additionally, the company reported a significant reduction in resources spent on campaigns, demonstrating how unified dashboards can lower costs while increasing returns [2].

Improvements in Pipeline Velocity and Win Rates

Unified dashboards also speed up pipeline progression by consolidating real-time data on engagement, intent, and sales activities. This enables teams to identify accounts showing strong buying signals and coordinate outreach more effectively, reducing friction in the buyer journey. The result? Shorter sales cycles and higher conversion rates.

Auth0 provides a compelling example. Within just seven weeks of launching their ABM programme, they generated £800,000 in additional pipeline revenue (converted from USD 1 million), achieved 6× conversion rates, and saw 15× engagement rates from one-to-one ABM accounts. These efforts delivered an impressive 8× ROI [2].

Qlik, on the other hand, focused on refining lead scoring and prioritisation through their unified system. Leads rated A or B achieved 2–3× higher conversion rates, while their sales team experienced a 30–40% reduction in time spent sorting and following up with leads. This freed up valuable time for higher-priority activities [2].

Win rates also benefit from having a complete view of stakeholder engagement and decision-maker coverage. For instance, Engagio (now part of Demandbase) used shared engagement data to coordinate cross-channel account strategies, achieving 300% higher engagement and sales cycles that were 35% shorter than non-ABM accounts [3]. These improvements not only increase conversions but also create a more efficient revenue model.

Revenue Efficiency Metrics

Unified dashboards don’t just drive top-line growth; they also enhance the efficiency of ABM programmes. Key metrics such as cost per engaged account, cost per opportunity, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and revenue per £1 invested become easier to track. By integrating marketing spend data with engagement, pipeline, and revenue metrics, these dashboards provide a clear picture of how much it costs to engage a target account and the revenue it generates.

When used effectively, unified dashboards allow teams to identify high-performing channels and tactics that deliver strong engagement at a lower cost. This often leads to reduced CAC and cost per opportunity, even as average contract values and expansion revenue grow. Over time, this creates a more favourable revenue-to-cost ratio for ABM accounts compared to standard marketing activities - a metric that can be visualised in executive dashboards for quick decision-making.

Drift’s experience highlights this well. By using reverse IP lookup and personalised one-to-one chat for target accounts, they achieved a 60% rise in engagement, 3× page views, and 22% pipeline growth among targeted accounts [3]. The ability to track these outcomes at the account level enabled them to quantify their return on personalisation efforts and scale what worked.

Similarly, a £800 million SaaS company in the payroll and HR sector revamped their ABM strategy with unified dashboards, leading to a 20% increase in appointments, a 125% rise in qualified leads, and a 10% increase in valid leads. At the same time, they reduced the time required to set appointments, demonstrating how efficiency gains can directly lower acquisition costs and accelerate revenue realisation [5].

Unified dashboards also contribute to growth in average contract value (ACV), total contract value (TCV), and expansion revenue by offering teams visibility into the entire lifecycle of target accounts. Advanced measurement models track metrics like initial contract value, annual recurring revenue, and revenue per account, tying these back to specific ABM campaigns. This enables businesses to identify trends, such as ABM accounts purchasing larger solution bundles or signing longer-term contracts, and compare TCV growth across ABM and non-ABM cohorts over time.

For UK businesses in regulated sectors like financial services, pharmaceuticals, and enterprise technology, unified dashboards are particularly valuable. They can be configured to monitor compliance-related metrics - such as stakeholder coverage and approval stages - alongside engagement and revenue data. This ensures that efficiency gains are achieved without compromising regulatory requirements.

The evidence is clear: unified ABM dashboards deliver measurable improvements across ROI, pipeline velocity, win rates, and revenue efficiency. For organisations ready to move beyond fragmented reporting, the benefits are significant and enduring.

Case Studies: Success in Complex and Regulated Markets

Unified ABM dashboards have proven their worth in industries where complexity and regulation dominate, such as financial services, enterprise SaaS, and pharmaceuticals. These sectors face unique hurdles: extended sales cycles, intricate buying committees, stringent compliance rules, and high-value deals that leave no room for error. Organisations in these fields have discovered that unified dashboards not only enhance visibility but also reshape how teams prioritise accounts, engage stakeholders, and demonstrate ROI to leadership. This builds on earlier discussions of engagement and ROI measurement, applying those principles to some of the most demanding environments.

Unified Dashboards in Highly Regulated Industries

In regulated markets, it’s not just about tracking engagement and pipeline; compliance, stakeholder coverage, and formal approval stages are equally critical. Unified dashboards bring all these elements together into one auditable view.

For example, Snowflake integrated a dashboard into Salesforce, combining first-party data with Bombora’s third-party intent signals. This gave account managers and marketing teams a clear, unified view of in-market accounts, enabling them to prioritise outreach based on real-time signals. The impact? Three times higher campaign attendance and a 50% faster close rate for prioritised accounts [4].

In the UK financial services sector, the stakes are even higher. A UK commercial bank handling FTSE 350 buying groups implemented a unified dashboard that pulled together CRM data, marketing automation, event attendance, and content consumption metrics. This allowed the bank to see which stakeholders were engaged, what content resonated, and whether all necessary roles were involved before submitting proposals. The result? A 15–25% increase in win rates and a 10–20% reduction in sales cycle length.

Similarly, a UK asset manager used a dashboard to track multi-touch engagement and audit trails, boosting deal value by 30%. By identifying accounts with strong intent signals - such as multiple stakeholders researching specific investment strategies - and flagging incomplete buying committees, the firm improved its tender success rates and ensured proposals addressed all stakeholder priorities.

In the pharmaceutical sector, a company targeting NHS trusts used a unified dashboard to manage compliant, multi-stakeholder engagement across clinical, procurement, finance, and governance roles. The dashboard monitored engagement depth, adherence to contact frequency limits, and content approval statuses - key for staying within ABPI codes and NHS procurement frameworks. This approach led to higher tender success rates and improved renewal and expansion performance with existing accounts.

Another standout example is Schneider Electric, whose unified dashboards drove 21% more revenue by accelerating account progression [2].

Better Stakeholder Coverage and Deal Quality

Unified dashboards don’t just improve measurement - they transform stakeholder engagement and deal quality. They help expand stakeholder coverage from just a few contacts to six or more per deal. With better visibility, teams can systematically engage stakeholders across departments like IT, procurement, legal, and finance.

Adobe provides a compelling example. By leveraging live engagement data, they increased deal size by 60% and improved retention by 40% [3]. Their unified dashboard allowed account teams to map buying committees, track role-specific engagement, and deliver tailored outreach that aligned with each group’s priorities.

Engagio (now part of Demandbase) achieved 300% higher engagement and 35% shorter sales cycles compared to non-ABM accounts [3]. Their dashboard highlighted which stakeholders were active, what content resonated, and where gaps in coverage existed, enabling teams to act before opportunities stalled.

Better stakeholder coverage leads to stronger deals. For instance, a UK cybersecurity vendor combined third-party intent data with first-party signals in their dashboard, which resulted in double to triple the pipeline from expanded stakeholder engagement. This also drove higher upsell revenue and reduced customer acquisition costs.

Invoca used its unified dashboard to generate 35 new pipeline opportunities, secure over 50 meetings with top-priority accounts, and achieve 33× ROI on campaign spend [2]. The dashboard helped them identify high-intent accounts early, coordinate cross-channel outreach, and clearly attribute activities to revenue outcomes.

Drift took a different approach, using reverse IP lookup and personalised one-to-one chat for target accounts. Their dashboard tracked engagement depth and progression in real time, allowing account managers to step in at the right moment. This strategy boosted engagement by 60%, tripled page views, and increased pipeline by 22% among targeted accounts [3].

For UK companies in heavily regulated industries, improved deal quality also means reduced discounting and higher margins. When teams have a complete view of stakeholder engagement, intent signals, and buying-stage indicators, they can qualify accounts more rigorously and focus on high-fit opportunities. This not only shortens sales cycles but also reduces the need for last-minute discounts, as deals are built on strategic alignment rather than pressure.

The Role of Twenty One Twelve Marketing

As these examples show, unified dashboards deliver measurable ROI, and Twenty One Twelve Marketing has been at the forefront of applying these principles in regulated markets. Many organisations in these industries struggle to bridge the gap between ABM theory and practical implementation, but Twenty One Twelve Marketing has been helping businesses overcome these challenges since 2016.

For a UK-based SaaS company targeting enterprise clients, the agency designed a tiered account model - 1:1 for top-value accounts, 1:few for strategic segments, and 1:many for scalable outreach. They configured dashboards with tailored views for each tier, enabling the company to focus resources on high-intent accounts and demonstrate pipeline growth to leadership.

In financial services, the agency worked with a commercial bank to consolidate CRM, marketing automation, event, and third-party intent data into a unified analytics layer. This provided visibility into buying signals, stakeholder gaps, and compliance metrics like content approvals and contact frequency. The bank saw improved win rates, shorter sales cycles, and auditable evidence for regulatory reviews.

For pharmaceutical clients, Twenty One Twelve Marketing implemented dashboards that track engagement across key roles, ensuring all necessary stakeholders are involved before tender submission. By embedding compliance flags and approval workflows into the dashboard, they helped clients scale compliant, multi-stakeholder engagement, leading to better tender success rates and renewal outcomes.

The agency also collaborates closely with sales teams to define intent thresholds, set real-time alerts for high-priority accounts, and establish regular dashboard reviews during fortnightly meetings. This alignment between sales, marketing, and compliance teams ensures decisions are based on shared data, driving the ROI gains highlighted in these case studies.

For UK organisations navigating complex buying processes, unified dashboards provide the visibility and coordination needed to succeed in even the most regulated industries. By streamlining stakeholder engagement and ensuring compliance, they deliver results that are both measurable and impactful.

Designing ROI-Focused ABM Dashboards

Creating a dashboard that genuinely improves ABM ROI goes beyond simply connecting data sources. The most effective dashboards are purpose-built to track essential metrics, cater to their users, and are reviewed consistently to encourage ongoing improvements. Drawing from earlier case studies and ROI examples, this section provides actionable tips for building dashboards that deliver tangible business results.

Key Metrics and Indicators

To capture the full value of ABM, focus on four key metric categories: account engagement, pipeline contribution, deal velocity, and revenue impact. Each plays a unique role, and together they offer a comprehensive view of how ABM efforts translate into business outcomes.

• Account engagement metrics should target the account level, not individual leads. Track the number of engaged contacts per account, the coverage of key personas (like IT, procurement, legal, and finance), meeting acceptance rates, and progression through engagement stages (e.g., from unaware to sales-ready). These metrics help determine if your ABM programme is connecting with the right people within target accounts and building momentum across buying committees.

• Pipeline contribution metrics distinguish between ABM-sourced pipeline (opportunities created directly from ABM activities) and ABM-influenced pipeline (opportunities where ABM played a role during the sales cycle). Display these figures in pounds (£) and break them down by tiers (1:1, 1:few, 1:many) to highlight where the strongest returns are coming from. This separation showcases both ABM’s direct and supportive roles in driving deals.

• Deal velocity metrics measure the time (in calendar days) between key CRM stages, such as first engagement to first meeting, sales-accepted lead (SAL) to sales-qualified lead (SQL), or opportunity creation to closed-won. Reporting median and 75th percentile times provides a realistic view of how quickly ABM accounts move through the pipeline compared to non-ABM accounts.

• Revenue impact metrics include closed-won revenue, Average Contract Value (ACV), Total Contract Value (TCV), expansion revenue, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), and CAC comparisons. All financial data should be presented in GBP using UK formatting (e.g., £1,250,000.50). These metrics directly tie ABM initiatives to business performance, helping finance teams evaluate the programme’s efficiency and profitability.

To avoid confusion, align on metric definitions with sales and finance teams and document them in your CRM or reporting glossary. This shared understanding is essential for clarity, particularly in UK board reporting, where consistency is critical.

On the dashboard itself, organise metrics into three layers:

1. Top layer: Focus on business outcomes for executives. Include pipeline value (sourced and influenced, in £), win rates for ABM versus non-ABM accounts, closed-won revenue, ACV uplift, and efficiency metrics like CAC and ROI percentage.

2. Middle layer: Highlight sales performance levers. Include sales cycle length (overall and by stage), pipeline coverage (value versus quota) for ABM targets, and deal quality indicators like discount rates, deal size, and contract length.

3. Foundational layer: Track engagement and intent depth. Include engagement scores per account (based on multi-channel behaviours like site visits, content interactions, and email activity), stakeholder coverage (number of decision-makers engaged versus the ideal buying committee), and intent signal trends over time.

Prioritising the top layer ensures leadership sees the most critical metrics first, while operational teams can dive deeper into the middle and foundational layers to identify what’s driving ROI changes.

Tailoring Views for Stakeholders

A single dashboard can serve multiple audiences, but each group needs a tailored view of the data. The best approach is to create views from a unified data model, ensuring consistency across all reports while customising the information for specific needs.

• Executive and C-suite audiences: Focus on high-level metrics like ABM-sourced and influenced pipeline (£), win rates, revenue growth in target segments, CAC, ROI percentage, and trends versus targets.

• Sales leadership and account teams: Provide insights into deal and account progression. Include account engagement scores, meetings set, open opportunities by stage, forecasted revenue, and velocity comparisons with non-ABM accounts.

• Marketing teams: Highlight campaign and tactic performance by account. Include channel attribution, content performance, cost per engaged account, cost per opportunity, and pipeline breakdowns (sourced versus influenced) by campaign.

• Revenue operations and analytics teams: Focus on system health and data quality. Include integration status, match rates between marketing automation tools and the CRM, lag times between activity and visibility, and ICP coverage.

Consistency across these views ensures that an executive can move from high-level ROI metrics to sales or marketing details without encountering conflicting numbers. This builds trust and facilitates better decision-making.

Measurement Cadence and Continuous Optimisation

How often you review your dashboard determines how quickly you can act on insights and refine performance. Experts recommend a tiered review schedule to balance agility with strategic oversight.

• Weekly operational stand-ups: ABM marketers and sales teams review account engagement changes, new meetings booked, accounts moving stages, tactic-level performance (e.g., ads and outbound sequences), and data quality alerts.

• Monthly programme reviews: Sales and marketing leadership, along with revenue operations, assess pipeline trends, opportunity creation, early-stage win rates, velocity by stage, and cost per engaged account or opportunity.

• Quarterly executive and board reviews: The C-suite, finance, and regional leaders evaluate closed-won revenue, ACV uplift, segment penetration, CAC, ROI percentage, and comparisons to non-ABM benchmarks.

Conclusion

Unified ABM dashboards consolidate account, pipeline, and revenue data into a single, cohesive view. This integration links engagement directly to revenue, enabling consistent tracking of metrics like account engagement, pipeline contribution, deal velocity, and revenue impact - all while breaking down data silos.

Research underscores the value of this approach: 81% of marketers report higher ROI from ABM compared to traditional marketing, with unified dashboards driving returns that are 21%–350% higher [1]. For instance, Schneider Electric achieved a 21% revenue increase from target accounts by integrating previously fragmented ABM reports. Similarly, Snowflake's Salesforce-embedded dashboard resulted in three times higher campaign attendance and cut opportunity-to-close times in half [2][4]. For UK B2B leaders, these dashboards provide vital insights into which accounts, campaigns, and channels are delivering pipeline, revenue, and margin - empowering smarter decisions around budgets and resources.

But unified dashboards are more than just tools for reporting; they are engines for ongoing improvement. Regularly reviewing metrics - weekly for operational insights and monthly or quarterly for strategic ROI - allows teams to adjust spending, sharpen targeting, and accelerate sales cycles based on real-world data. In industries like financial services, pharmaceuticals, and enterprise SaaS, where sales cycles are long, compliance is strict, and buying committees are large, these dashboards offer precise, account-level visibility. This clarity helps identify gaps in stakeholder engagement, manage compliance challenges, and enhance deal quality.

To make the most of these benefits, consider the following steps:

• Audit your current ABM data and reports to find gaps in account-level visibility, attribution, and sales–marketing alignment.

• Establish a core set of ROI metrics, such as engagement, pipeline contribution, deal velocity, revenue impact, customer acquisition cost, and cost per opportunity - ensuring both Sales and Marketing are aligned.

• Implement or customise a unified analytics platform that integrates CRM, marketing automation, website, and third-party intent data.

• Test this dashboard with a specific group of target accounts, refining it based on how well it explains pipeline and revenue outcomes.

For businesses navigating complex, highly regulated, or niche markets, specialist partners like Twenty One Twelve Marketing can help design dashboards tailored to UK boards. With expertise in financial services, pharmaceuticals, SaaS, and technology, they focus on surfacing the metrics that matter most.

For UK companies committed to ABM, a unified dashboard isn’t just helpful - it’s essential. It acts as the operating system that transforms intricate account journeys into clear, measurable revenue outcomes.
