But what if you could have a one-on-one conversation with your ideal customer? That's the power of account-based marketing (ABM).

Most deliverability advice looks only at email list issues and how to design, send and manage your email campaigns. However, not all deliverability problems are solved by removing inactive subscribers and spam complainers, or tunin up your email coding to avoid triggering a spam filter. Instead, seemingly unrelated business decisions can affect the wider application of your email program and undermine its deliverability.

Of course every business wants to close more deals, but the cold, hard truth is: gaining a customer you can’t keep isn’t scalable. According to FirstPageSage , the average customer acquisition cost (CAC) for B2B tech companies is $720. And, if your organization leans heavily into PPC and SEM, it’s even higher at $841. With the cost of new customer acquisition so high, it can take years to pay back the money you spent to acquire that customer.

Return on ad spend (ROAS) has become the default metric for many marketing teams. It's clean, precise, and makes CFOs happy. Spend X dollars, get Y dollars back. Simple … right? Not quite. Here's the issue: The more exact a marketing metric is, the easier it is to manipulate. Want a 2x ROAS? You can get it. Want a 20x ROAS? That’s possible, too. Just toggle a few levers — increase retargeting, run more discounts, reduce spend — and watch that ROAS number climb.
