Account Penetration

How deeply you're connected inside a target company, and how many of the people who matter know who you are.

Definition

How widely a seller is engaged inside a target company, measured by how many relevant stakeholders, teams, or business units they have active relationships with.

Low penetration means a deal rests on one person; if they change roles or lose interest, it's gone. Teams raise penetration by multi-threading outreach to other members of the buying committee and, in existing customers, by expanding from the first team that bought into neighbouring departments.
