Workflow 05 / ABM

Account Prioritization Workflow

Scores accounts using firmographic, intent and fit signals so effort concentrates where it can actually convert.

The Account Prioritization Workflow is a seven-step ABM process that scores a universe of target accounts on firmographic fit, intent and relationship signals, weights potential value against winnability, and produces a tiered, capped target list with a documented scoring model and a re-scoring cadence. The initial build takes roughly 1–2 days.

Why It Exists

Most target account lists are ranked by revenue potential alone, which sends the most effort at the least winnable accounts. This workflow scores winnability alongside value.

Tools

CRMEnrichment providerIntent data sourceSpreadsheet or scoring tool

Inputs

  • Addressable account universe
  • ICP definition
  • Historical win and loss data
  • Available intent signals

The Workflow

Run it in order.

  1. 01

    Assemble the universe

    Compile the full addressable set before filtering, so prioritisation is a decision rather than an accident of sourcing.

  2. 02

    Score firmographic fit

    Weight against the ICP criteria established in research, not against a revenue wish list.

  3. 03

    Layer in intent

    Where intent data exists, treat it as a timing signal rather than a fit signal. The two answer different questions.

  4. 04

    Add relationship signal

    Existing contacts, past conversations and warm paths materially change winnability.

  5. 05

    Weight value against winnability

    An account worth twice as much and a quarter as likely to close is not the better target.

  6. 06

    Tier and cap

    Assign tiers with explicit effort levels, and cap tier one at a number the team can genuinely service.

  7. 07

    Set a review cadence

    Scores decay. Fix a re-scoring interval so the list stays a decision rather than a historical artefact.

Outputs

What it produces.

  • Scored account universe
  • Tiered target list with effort levels
  • Documented scoring model
  • Defined re-scoring cadence

Run It With Your AI

Install this workflow as an agent skill.

Claude & Claude CodeChatGPT CodexCursorGitHub CopilotGemini CLI

The same steps, packaged so your AI agent can run them with you: it asks for the inputs above, works through each step and produces the outputs in one document.

  1. Claude (web or desktop): download the .zip, then open Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload it.
  2. Claude Code: unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ (or a project's .claude/skills/).
  3. ChatGPT Codex: unzip it into ~/.agents/skills/ (or a repository's .agents/skills/).
  4. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and others: add the folder to that tool's skills directory (see agentskills.io (opens in a new tab)).
  5. Then just ask. For example: “Score and tier this account list so we know where to focus”. The agent loads the skill when the task matches.
