# Playbook: Enterprise ABM and multithreading

**Break into large accounts by reaching the whole buying committee, in the right order, with coordinated messages.**

| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| **Best for** | Selling contracts of $25k+ to companies with 500+ employees |
| **Goal** | First meeting with a buying committee member, then expansion across the account |
| **Channels** | LinkedIn + email, several senders |
| **Plan** | Agency / Team |
| **Setup time** | About 2 hours for a 20-account program |

## Why multithreading matters

Enterprise purchases involve **several people**: an economic buyer, champions, users, IT and procurement. A single-threaded deal stalls when one person goes quiet. Reaching three to five people per account raises your chance of a conversation and protects deals later.

## 1. Pick 20–50 target accounts

Score accounts on fit (industry, size, tech stack) and timing (funding, new leaders, hiring, website visits). Start small: 20 accounts done well beats 500 done badly.

## 2. Map the buying committee

| Role | Typical titles | Message angle |
|---|---|---|
| **Economic buyer** | VP, SVP, C-level | Business outcome, risk, strategic priority |
| **Champion** | Director, Head of | Team pain, career win |
| **User** | Manager, lead, IC | Daily workflow improvement |
| **Technical evaluator** | IT, security, architect | Integration, security, compliance |
| **Influencer** | Ops, RevOps, finance partner | Efficiency, cost |

Create one list per role, for example *"ABM Q3 – Economic buyers"*, and tag each person with the account name.

## 3. Coordinated campaigns

Run **one campaign per role**, all against the same accounts, staggered:

| Week | Who | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Champions and users | Visit, like a post, connect |
| 2 | Champions | Pain-focused message |
| 2 | Economic buyers | Visit, connect |
| 3 | Economic buyers | Outcome email + LinkedIn |
| 3 | Technical | Resource: security or integration overview |
| 4 | All | Account-specific insight (e.g., "3 ideas for {{company_name}}") |

Use different senders for different levels if you can: an AE for the champion, a founder or executive for the economic buyer. Each campaign picks its own accounts under **Sending & safety → Sending accounts**. See [Team seats](https://prosyo.com/docs/billing/team-seats.md).

## 4. Copy by role

**Champion**

```
Hi {{first_name|there}}, teams like yours at {{company_name|your company}} usually lose [time/money] to [problem]. We've helped [peer company] cut that by [number]. Is this on your radar this year?
```

**Economic buyer**

Subject: `[Strategic priority] at {{company_name|your company}}`

```
Hi {{first_name|there}},

Saw {{company_name|your company}} is focused on [priority from annual report/news]. We help [peer companies] reach [outcome] in [timeframe], typically [metric].

Would a 20-minute briefing for your team be useful this quarter?

{{sender.first_name}}
```

**Technical evaluator**

```
Hi {{first_name|there}}, sharing our [security/integration] overview in case {{company_name|your team}} evaluates tools like ours this year: SSO, [certifications], and [integration]. Happy to answer any questions.
```

## 5. When one person replies

- Move them to **Interested** and tag the account `engaged`.
- **Decide what the rest of that account gets next.** Their sequences keep running until you act. To stop all outreach to someone for good, select them in **Prospects** and click **Suppress**. It stops every campaign for them and keeps them out of future campaigns, so only suppress people who shouldn't hear from you again. Or, once you've checked it's welcome, switch to a warmer "your colleague [name] and I are talking about…" message.
- Keep your CRM up to date: [HubSpot](https://prosyo.com/docs/integrations/hubspot.md) and [Pipedrive](https://prosyo.com/docs/integrations/pipedrive.md) update the contact when their stage changes or they reply, and a [webhook](https://prosyo.com/docs/integrations/webhooks.md) can send a **Reply received** event to any other tool.

## 6. Add signals

- [Intent activity](https://prosyo.com/docs/playbooks/intent-to-meetings.md) from target accounts: review website activity, LinkedIn engagement and interested replies to decide who to follow up with.
- [Job changes](https://prosyo.com/docs/playbooks/job-change-outreach.md) into buying roles: start a fresh thread.
- [Event attendees](https://prosyo.com/docs/playbooks/webinar-event-promotion.md) from target accounts: invite them to a roundtable.

## Metrics to watch

| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Accounts with 3+ contacts reached | 80%+ |
| Accounts with at least one reply | 25–40% |
| Accounts with a meeting | 10–20% |
| Time to first meeting | Under 6 weeks |

## Common mistakes

- **Blasting the whole committee on the same day** with the same message.
- **Starting with procurement or IT** before a business sponsor exists.
- **Ignoring account context.** Mention real priorities from news, reports or hiring.
- **Too many accounts.** Enterprise ABM rewards depth.

> **Upgrade:** Enterprise ABM works best with several senders. **Agency / Team** gives every rep their own login, LinkedIn and mailbox. [See plans](https://prosyo.com/docs/billing/plans-and-pricing.md).
