Email Deliverability in Account-Based Marketing
DIRECT ANSWER
Email deliverability is the rate at which sent emails actually reach a recipient's inbox — not just avoid a bounce, but clear spam filters and land where they're read. It depends on sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), list hygiene, engagement history, and infrastructure reputation. Industry inbox placement benchmarks sit around 85–90% for well-maintained senders. In Account-Based Marketing specifically, this means Build and maintain a tiered target account list (Tier 1/2/3) using ICP scoring against CRM and third-party data and Monitor target account engagement signals: ad impressions, website visits, content downloads, intent spikes — all of which Hadrian's ABM Agent executes autonomously on your live data.
What email deliverability means in Account-Based Marketing
Three DNS-based standards form the technical floor of deliverability. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) specifies which mail servers are authorized to send on your domain's behalf. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) cryptographically signs each message so receiving servers can verify it wasn't tampered with in transit. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) tells receiving servers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails — quarantine, reject, or monitor — and sends aggregate reports back to the sender.
For Account-Based Marketing teams, email deliverability is a lever that needs consistent execution.

FAQ
Email Deliverability in Account-Based Marketing — common questions
What's the difference between delivery rate and deliverability?
Delivery rate measures the percentage of emails not bounced — accepted by the receiving server. Deliverability (or inbox placement rate) measures whether accepted emails reached the inbox versus spam or promotions folders. A 99% delivery rate and a 60% inbox placement rate can coexist, meaning 40% of 'delivered' email is never seen. Inbox placement is the metric that actually predicts revenue impact.
