Course Description

In this Account-Based Sales Alignment course, you’ll learn how to shift from high-volume outreach to high-value targeting using the ABS and ABE frameworks. You’ll explore how to align sales, marketing, and customer success around shared data, roles, and workflows. You’ll also evaluate your team’s readiness and build a structure that supports long-term account growth.

You’ll start by comparing traditional sales models to account-based selling, looking at how buyer targeting, messaging, and internal collaboration change when you focus on strategic accounts. From there, you’ll expand that model using the Account-Based Everything framework to engage cross-functional teams with shared cadences, milestones, and playbooks. Finally, you’ll assess your organization’s readiness to support account-based work. You’ll learn how to assign ABS leads, coordinate systems, and create governance and leadership rhythms that give your team clarity and momentum.

By the end of this course, you’ll know how to structure internal collaboration that supports lasting growth from key accounts.
