How to use the result
- Define 'engaged' before launch. For example, two or more people from the account on key pages in a month, or ad engagement plus a site visit.
- Match the period to the sales cycle. With a nine-month cycle, judge the first two quarters on engaged accounts and pipeline.
- Use a holdout. Compare with similar accounts you didn't target, or the ROI includes deals that would have closed anyway.

Questions
Straight answers.
How do you calculate ABM ROI?
Take won revenue from target accounts in the period, subtract the program cost and divide by the cost. Count only revenue the program could have influenced.
What is a good ABM ROI?
It depends on margin and cycle length. Compare it with your other channels on the same basis, and on pipeline per dollar while deals are still open.
What is cost per engaged account?
Program cost divided by the number of target accounts that met your engagement definition. It's the earliest reliable ABM efficiency metric.
Should ROI use revenue or gross profit?
Gross profit is more accurate if margins vary by product. Revenue is fine for comparing channels within one business.
