# ABM Automation System — Hyper-Personalized Outreach Strategy

## Overview

Asymmetric has developed a multi-stage ABM automation pipeline that generates hyper-personalized outreach strategies for target accounts at scale. The system produces two artifacts per account — a **Research Doc** and a **Strategy Doc** — and loads all accounts as deals into a dedicated HubSpot pipeline. As of early 2026, 90+ accounts have been processed, with the system actively expanding to additional clients.

This was first demoed internally during a mid-week check-in between Mark and Melissa in April 2026, where Mark walked through the full workflow using Dupaco as a live example.

## How It Works

### Stage 1 — Research Doc

For each target account, an automated scraping and research process generates a structured document covering:

- **Company overview** — financial snapshot, size, industry context
- **Technology & operations** — current tech stack, operational signals
- **Recent news** — timely hooks for outreach
- **Pain point hypothesis** — inferred challenges relevant to Asymmetric's services
- **Buying committee** — identified contacts with names, roles, and emails
- **Personalization hooks** — specific talking points tailored to each contact
- **Coverage gaps** — areas where the prospect is underserved

> *"I've made 90 of these. And they're amazing."* — Mark Hope

No ZoomInfo was used for initial research; data was scraped and compiled programmatically. ZoomInfo's **Enrich** feature is planned as a secondary enrichment pass once accounts are loaded.

### Stage 2 — Strategy Doc

A strategy document is generated for each account, translating the research into an actionable outreach plan:

- **Contact priority order** — who to reach first and why (e.g., COO before VP of Marketing)
- **Day-by-day sequence** — specific touchpoints mapped to days (Day 0, Day 4, Day 7, Day 9, Day 14)
- **Channel mix** — email and LinkedIn connection requests
- **HubSpot-ready email copy** — fully written, personalized templates ready to paste and send
- **Cadence notes** — guidance on tone, timing, and follow-up logic

Example sequence structure (Dupaco):
| Day | Action | Contact |
|-----|--------|---------|
| 0 | Email 1 | Matt Dodds (COO) |
| 4 | Email 2 | Matt Dodds |
| 7 | LinkedIn connection | Matt Dodds |
| 9 | Email 1 | Leo (secondary contact) |
| 14 | Follow-up | TBD |

## HubSpot Implementation

- All 90+ accounts are created as **deals in a dedicated ABM pipeline** in HubSpot
- Research docs are attached directly to each deal record
- Deal stages can be moved as outreach progresses
- Contact records for primary and secondary contacts are migrated into HubSpot alongside the deals

### Email Automation Consideration

The team is actively working on automating email sends. The key constraint: **emails must appear to come directly from a sales rep**, not as marketing blasts. This rules out standard HubSpot marketing email workflows and requires a solution that sends from a personal inbox while still being triggered programmatically.

> *"We want it to look like he wrote them and sent them."* — Mark Hope

## Current Clients & Scalability

The system was built initially for **Aviary** and is being replicated for:

- **Paper Tube** — in progress, nearly complete
- **Citrus America** — identified as a strong fit
- **Cora Stone** — CEO expressed interest in deep ABM engagement after a recent lunch meeting

The process is well-suited for any B2B client with a defined target account list and a sales team capable of executing personalized outreach.

## Open Questions

- [ ] How do we automate email sends while preserving the appearance of personal, rep-sent messages?
- [ ] When does ZoomInfo Enrich get run as a secondary pass on existing accounts?
- [ ] What is the ongoing maintenance cadence for research docs as account situations change?
