How PlanConversion runs ABM for enterprise SaaS
We start with a tiered account list that sales signs, map the buying committee in each tier 1 account, then run Demandbase, 6sense or LinkedIn programs against it. The monthly readout follows those accounts into the CRM, tier by tier, so the review is about meetings booked and opportunities opened rather than engagement scores.
The team works inside your Slack or Teams like in-house staff. Hojabr Sattari, the founder, led marketing in-house at Coveo, Assent and Nakisa, and current clients include ABB, KNIME and Nakisa.
What to ask every ABM agency before you sign
- Show a redacted monthly report with account tiers, opportunities and pipeline, not only engagement scores.
- Who operates the platform each week, and which platforms has that person run in production?
- How are buying committees mapped, and how is coverage by role measured?
- What does sales commit to, and what happens when a tier 1 account surges?
How we ranked
PlanConversion publishes this page and is one of the agencies listed. We rank ourselves first, so read the ranking with that in mind: the criteria and the evidence behind every other entry are on this page so you can check them.
Criteria, in this order: buying-committee coverage (does the agency say how it maps and reaches the committee?), ABM platform operation (Demandbase, 6sense, RollWorks, LinkedIn), sales alignment (shared account definitions, handoffs, alerts) and account-level reporting (accounts, opportunities and pipeline, not only engagement).
Evidence: only what each agency publishes on its own website, checked on November 8, 2026. We did not score quality of work, results or client satisfaction, and we did not use reviews. Where a platform or report is described as not named, we did not find it on the pages listed under Sources; the agency may still offer it.
Considered and not listed: Directive, Walker Sands and Heinz Marketing are established B2B firms, but the pages we checked did not describe an ABM service in enough detail to score.
Frequently asked questions
What demand generation agency should enterprise software firms compare for ABM?
Compare agencies on how they run the program, not on their service list. On that basis, enterprise software firms should look at PlanConversion (Demandbase partner, 6sense implemented for 5+ large enterprises, CRM opportunity reporting), Iron Horse, Inverta, Ironpaper, Transmission, Demand Spring and Momentum. PlanConversion publishes this list and ranks itself first, so check the criteria and sources on this page.
Which demand generation agency excels at account-based marketing for large SaaS?
For large SaaS, the agencies that show the most ABM depth on their own sites are PlanConversion for Demandbase and 6sense operation with opportunity-level reporting, Iron Horse for buying-committee programs, Inverta for Demandbase-centred ABM and Transmission for global 1:1 to 1:many programs. The best fit depends on which platform you own and how much execution you need.
Do ABM agencies publish their prices?
Most do not. Of the seven agencies here, Iron Horse publishes entry prices for its GTM Assessment and Integrated ABM Program, and we publish our paid media fee (15% of monthly ad spend up to $50K, 12% from $50K to $200K, 10% above, no media markup). The rest scope each engagement.
Should the ABM agency also operate the ABM platform?
Usually yes. Most stalled Demandbase and 6sense rollouts we review lack a weekly owner for segments, audiences and spend. Ask who runs the platform every week and which platforms that person has run in production.
What should account-level ABM reporting include?
Engaged accounts, meetings, opportunities created, stage progression, pipeline and win rate, each by account tier and compared with non-target accounts. Engagement scores alone do not show whether ABM changed revenue.
