Best Moments:

(10:27) "We saw tons of leads coming in, and within maybe 5 to 6 months of running the playbook, we have 8 million in pipeline"

(15:19) Only needing 2 customers a month with a $20-30k ACV to get a 3-4x ROI on a $15k/month ad spend budget

(23:38) In 6 months, generated $1 million in revenue from the account-based marketing program, an 11x ROI on the ad spend

(25:34) "Make sure you have those fundamentals super, super solid. And what I define as marketing fundamentals is, like, STP, segmentation targeting positioning, classic marketing stuff, and all of that has to be predicated by a customer research"
