Solution 05 · Can’t get into target accounts

"We know the accounts we want. We just cannot get in."

You already have the list — the thirty or fifty accounts that would change the year. The list is usually right. What’s missing is the machinery to work every account, and every person inside it, for the months these deals actually take. We build that machinery and run it.

Do you know every target account and the people inside them?

Pick the closest one.

What's actually going on

If this sounds familiar, it’s because getting in is a system problem, not a talent problem.

Your reps are not failing to get in. They are getting in once, hearing nothing, and moving on.

Every manufacturer has the list. Thirty, fifty, two hundred accounts that would transform the year if they opened. The list is usually correct. What is missing is the machinery to work it for the length of time these accounts actually take.

Large accounts do not open on the fourth touch, and they rarely open through one person. There is an engineer who specifies, a buyer who negotiates, and an operations lead who has to live with the change, and a rep working alone reaches one of the three.

So the list gets worked hard for a month, produces nothing visible, and quietly goes back in the drawer. Not because it was wrong. Because nothing was carrying it between the rep's good weeks.

Where it starts

It starts with the right accounts — chosen, not guessed.

A named list without a system is a wish list. Getting in is a coverage and cadence problem, not a talent problem, and it is the one your reps have the least time to solve.

01

Define your ICP

We define the ideal customer with you: the firmographics and signals that actually predict a deal, not a job title.

02

Size your whole market

Every company that fits, counted — so the target list is chosen against the full picture, not the accounts you happen to remember.

03

Choose the accounts

You name the accounts that matter, plus the ones your market map says you missed. That agreed list is what we work.

What runs at Named Accounts

Coverage, cadence, and the committee — run as a system.

The list, agreed with your team.

We define the ideal customer, size the market that fits it, then choose the accounts against the full picture rather than the ones easiest to recall.

Work the committee, not an inbox.

A named account opens through people, plural: the engineer who specifies, the buyer who negotiates, and the operations lead who has to live with the change. We map all three per account and reach each of them.

We build the go-to-market strategy and the infrastructure to execute it, then run it in your voice — so the cadence continues through a busy quarter without a rep having to sustain it.

Progress measured by penetration.

Volume is the wrong scoreboard here. What matters is how many of the accounts you chose have a live conversation inside them, and how deep into each committee that conversation reaches.

  • Penetration reported by accountHow many of the fifty have a live conversation. That is the number, and it is the only one that describes progress here.

Proof, account by account.

Named Accounts is measured by penetration, not volume. Ten conversations inside the right ten companies beats two hundred replies from anywhere else.

Your targets are set from your own named list during the Go-to-Market Assessment and reported by account from the first month.

What this does not do

The line stays clear.

We create and deliver the qualified conversation into the right room. We do not close it, and we never report on your close rate as though it were our result. The deal is your team's. eRevenu creates and delivers the qualified conversation into the right room; your sales team works it and closes.

The sequence matters

Earn the right to spend here.

Named Accounts sits above Inbound deliberately. Inbound teaches you what the market responds to. Spending that knowledge on the accounts you actually chose is what this layer is for.

Get into the accounts you actually chose.

A short conversation, then a Go-to-Market Assessment that turns your target list into a mapped, worked plan — every account, every buyer, one cadence.
