About Eric Gruber

CMO Council gives ABM programs overall a C- as companies just build their pipeline. Momentum ITSMA studies show that most ABM programs have minimal impact on revenue KPIs. What's happening? Teams are increasing efficiency with ABM tech - and doing better targeting but they aren't changing GTM team interactions and account experiences. They forget that while their sales and marketing process matters, what matters the most is how their future and existing clients feel after each engagement across the buyer's journey and customer lifecycle. As a result, many GTM teams are not looking for the red in the business and changing how they think about their business, how they GTM, how they communicate their value prop, how they interact with and engage future and existing customers, and how the teams should work together to win, protect, and expand key accounts. Because there is not enough focus on the complete account experience from open to close, GTM teams struggle to displace legacy competitors, drive stage progression, go upmarket, increase deal sizes, improve enterprise win rates, and ultimately drive ARR/GRR/NRR growth. Meanwhile, my Personal ABM and fractional CMO clients are experiencing results like:* Uniphore (a global conversational AI, CX, and contact center tech firm) went from accounts like Bank of America going dark to driving $500K wins.* Digizuite (a digital asset management firm) went from consistently losing to Sitecore. Adobe and Bynder to increasing new logo ARR growth by 55%, expansion ARR growth by 114%, enterprise win rates by 200%, and deal sizes by 2X.* DAT Freight and Analytics avoided making a $1M mistake between investments in Demandbase, ad spend, and sales/marketing/customer success inefficiencies that would still result in smaller deal sizes and lower CLV. With my help, DAT was able to land and expand deals with high-value accounts on Gartner's Top 25 Supply Chain list.* Apptricity (a supply chain tech and asset management company) gained their largest deals ever with enterprises like Verizon.* Ascension (an IT service firm) went from diminishing returns after implementation to driving 25%+ more profitable growth with existing enterprise accounts like Sephora.* Sumerian (an ITSM firm that is now part of ITRS Group) created wins with indecisive DevOps teams and their status quo CIOs at companies like BT and drove the revenue growth they needed to become acquired.
