Destination Pipeline: Warm up the Mid-Market

Define your mid-market strategy by identifying the most likely buyers.
Destination Pipeline

is where leads are maximized, new sales reps are productive and your account-based marketing (ABM) programs make a difference.

In this 5-part blog series we’ll explore key tactics that can help you achieve your pipeline goals.

Made up of more than 19,000 companies ($100M - $999M in annual revenues) the mid-market is large, fragmented and frequently misunderstood. But it’s a target market with an abundance of high growth companies that have a myriad of technology challenges and - most importantly - active initiatives.

So why doesn’t the mid-market receive nearly the same level of attention as the Enterprise?

Maybe it’s the sheer number of targets that give companies pause.

With so many accounts to sift through, a company’s ideal prospects are often tucked away in places you may not think to look.

Moment-in-time sales insights - like expiring contracts or competitor dissatisfaction - is what truly identifies an ideal prospect, but B2B tech companies will use basic firmographic data, such as industry or annual revenues to define their target market. This leads to an easy-to-categorize label, such as “financial services companies with over $1 billion in revenue” or “the Fortune 1000,” that has little to do with the individual account’s proclivity to purchase.

But what if instead you could define your mid-market strategy by identifying most-likely buyers. Your target market may read something like:

“We sell to upper mid-market companies that are either greenfield but have an identified initiative for my solution category, or they use a competitor, are dissatisfied, and their contract is due up for renewal in the next 12 months.

But how do you know who those buyers are in such a large market?
