Buying committee

The set of people who have to say yes, or at least not say no, before a deal closes. In B2B it is rarely one person.

A typical mid-market deal involves a champion who wants the change, an economic buyer who owns the budget, a technical evaluator who can veto, and a few users who will quietly resist. Outbound that only reaches the champion produces enthusiastic conversations that die in procurement.

ABM exists because of this: it works the whole committee at once instead of hoping one contact carries the deal internally.
