Do you sell to complex buying groups? Without an account-centric CRM, you could miss key stakeholders and next steps. See how Nutshell’s account-based sales CRM helps your team coordinate multi-threaded outreach, personalize every touch, and close bigger deals—faster.
Account-based sales is a strategy where your team focuses on high-value accounts (companies)—not just individual leads. Reps identify and engage multiple decision-makers across a buying committee, coordinate personalized outreach, and work from a shared plan to win new revenue and expand existing relationships.
In 2025, ABS is a mainstream growth motion—81% of organizations report higher ROI from ABM/ABS than from other approaches, making it a top priority for B2B teams that sell into complex accounts.
Inbound sales is a sales strategy focused on engaging prospects who initiate contact with your business through channels like your website, social media, or referrals.
Choosing a CRM for ABS? Make sure it delivers these essentials:
Nutshell is the easy-to-use, all-in-one CRM that brings together everything account-based teams need to identify, engage, and close strategic accounts.
Get a true account-centric record: every contact, deal, email, call, meeting, and note tied to the company. Reps instantly understand the landscape and history before the next touch.
Add decision-makers, champions, and influencers with roles and relationships. Run multi-threaded outreach confidently and keep momentum even when contacts change.
Use Nutshell AI to summarize past interactions, research contacts, draft personalized emails, and even propose pipeline stages for your ABS motion—so your team spends more time selling, less time tab-switching. (Teams using AI are more likely to grow revenue.)
Build sequences that coordinate emails and tasks across the buying committee. Auto-create reminders after key events, progress deals on trigger, and ensure no account goes dark.
Loop in SDRs, AEs, SEs, executives, and marketing with @mentions and shared tasks. Hand off context cleanly, swarm hot accounts, and keep everyone on the same page.

Design custom pipelines (e.g., Research → First Meeting → Committee Alignment → Proposal → Exec Review → Close/Expand). Drag-and-drop deals, spot stalls, and coach the next move.
Pull website form submissions straight into Nutshell. With Nutshell Chat (live chat + AI chatbot), answer questions instantly, book meetings, and add new contacts to the right account automatically.
Sync email and calendar, call from your CRM, and connect tools like Google Workspace, Slack, QuickBooks, and email marketing—keeping data in lockstep across teams.
Monitor account engagement, stage-by-stage conversion, win rates by tier, and revenue forecasts. Build manager dashboards for target lists, and double down where ABS pays off.
Clean, intuitive, and mobile-ready. High adoption means complete data, which is the foundation of winning account-based motions.
An account-based sales CRM centers your data around companies (accounts) instead of stand-alone leads. It links all contacts, deals, and activities to each account so teams can coordinate multi-threaded outreach and manage complex deals with confidence.
Nutshell ties every stakeholder to the account record, lets you run sequences and tasks across contacts, and keeps the entire account team aligned with @mentions, notes, and shared pipelines—so your outreach never bottlenecks on a single person.
Unlike bloated CRMs, Nutshell is fast to adopt and purpose-built for account work—account-centric records, powerful automation, clear reporting, and built-in AI—without the steep learning curve or hidden costs.
