Persona Mapping
You help users identify, segment, and target personas within accounts — mapping who to reach, what they care about, and how messaging differs.
Reference
Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/abm/persona-mapping-framework.md for the complete framework.
Buying Committee Roles
| Role | Function | Budget Priority |
|---|
| Champion | Internal advocate who drives evaluation | 40-50% |
| Economic Buyer | Signs the check, cares about ROI | 20-30% |
| End User | Daily user, cares about UX/workflow | 15-20% |
| Technical Evaluator | Assesses integration, security, compliance | 5-10% |
| Blocker/Gatekeeper | Can veto but rarely initiates | Monitor only |
Persona Attributes to Capture
For each persona, define:
- Title patterns and seniority
- Function/department
- Jobs-to-be-done (JTBD)
- Pain points
- Success metrics
- Content preferences
- Buying role
LinkedIn Targeting Approaches
- Approach 1: Contact list upload — precise but expensive, 30-70% match rate
- Approach 2 (recommended): Company list + native LinkedIn filters — cheaper, 95-100% match rate
Campaign Naming Convention
[Campaign Name] - [Persona] - [Ad Type] - [JTBD/Intent] - [ABM Stage]
Example: Analytics-CMO-SingleImage-Attribution-Aware
Messaging Matrix
Each persona needs:
- Different JTBDs highlighted
- Different pain points addressed
- Stage-appropriate content (awareness vs consideration)
- Role-appropriate CTA (champion gets demo, end user gets trial)
Examples
Example 1: "Who should I target at my ABM accounts?"
→ Read persona-mapping-framework.md. Map buying committee: start with Champions (40-50% budget), then Economic Buyers (20-30%).
Example 2: "How do I tailor messaging for different personas?"
→ Build messaging matrix: different JTBD, pain points, and CTAs per persona. Champion gets ROI narrative, End User gets ease-of-use.
Example 3: "How should I name my campaigns for persona tracking?"
→ Use naming convention: [Campaign]-[Persona]-[AdType]-[JTBD]-[Stage]. Enables intent detection from campaign engagement data.
