AI ABM: past the tier-1 list

ABM used to mean 50 accounts because manual effort didn't scale. AI makes ABM economics work on 500.

What tiering becomes

Not 'do we invest'. Just 'which agent runs this'. Tier 1 gets a human-in-the-loop pod. Tier 2-3 gets agent-first with human escalation.

The orchestration

  • Signal detected → agent drafts the play
  • Channel choice tuned to buyer's active surface
  • Rep loop-in when engagement crosses threshold

Metric

Engaged account rate — accounts with meaningful two-way engagement in 90 days. Aim for 40%+ on your named list.
