GTM · Phase 03 · Marketing Funnel

Marketing that connects
to revenue.

Most B2B marketing can't tell you which channel produced a deal. The content team and the revenue team never share a definition of what qualified means.

79%
Of marketing leads never convert
to sales. Handoff is the reason.
51%
Of B2B software buyers now start
research in an AI chatbot more
often than Google.
Up to 8×
More engagement from personal
LinkedIn vs company pages.
The problem

Three gaps.
One disconnected funnel.

The same pattern at every B2B stage: channels run, leads come in, revenue doesn't follow.

Gap 01
MQLs that sales ignores

Marketing defines an MQL as "downloaded a whitepaper." Sales defines qualified as "confirmed budget and active timeline." 48% of marketing-generated leads never get a single sales follow-up. Only 15% of MQLs ever convert to SQL. Every handoff creates friction when marketing and sales don't share a definition of qualified.

Gap 02
Content that doesn't convert

AI has flooded every B2B channel with content. Volume is no longer the advantage; distribution and system are. Personal LinkedIn generates up to 8× more engagement than company pages. And 51% of B2B software buyers now start their research in an AI chatbot more often than Google. Traditional content funnels built around SEO and gated PDFs miss this audience entirely. The AI chatbot doesn't submit your lead magnet form.

Gap 03
Attribution that tells you nothing

B2B deals with 90+ day cycles routinely undercount 40–70% of LinkedIn-influenced pipeline in standard attribution windows. Marketing can't prove pipeline contribution. Budget decisions get made on incomplete data, and the wrong channels get cut.

What we solve
The marketing funnel that connects to revenue: a shared MQL definition, a content and LinkedIn system, a channel strategy, and attribution logic that closes the loop with sales. AI embedded at every step.

How we work

How the engagement
actually works.

01
Map where the funnel breaks
