    Demand Generation & Pipeline Architecture

    Engineer pipeline coverage, not just leads — channel mix, attribution, SLAs, and a 3–4× quota-coverage discipline.

    Why it matters

    Most startups confuse leads with pipeline. Real pipeline coverage is 3–4× quota with stage-weighted probabilities, multi-touch attribution, and SLAs from MQL → SQL → SAL → opportunity. Without it, every quarterly forecast is a guess and every CAC number is suspect.

    Scope covered

    Demand-gen channel mix — paid, SEO, content, ABM, events, community, partner
    Account-Based Marketing (ABM) tiers (1:1 / 1:few / 1:many) with named accounts
    Lead lifecycle definition — Anonymous → Lead → MQL → SQL → SAL → Opportunity
    MQL / SQL definitions with scoring + qualifying questions (BANT + GPCT)
    SLA framework — speed-to-lead, MQL→SAL conversion, accept/reject rules
    Pipeline coverage model — 3–4× target with stage-weighted probabilities
    Multi-touch attribution model — first-touch, last-touch, linear, W-shaped, time-decay
    Content engine — TOFU / MOFU / BOFU map with offer architecture
    Outbound sequencing playbook (cadence, channels, triggers)
    How we run it

    Our methodology

    A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.

    1. 1

      Pipeline math diagnostic

      Week 1

      Reverse-engineer pipeline from quota: coverage ratio, conversion rates by stage, sales cycle and capacity per rep.

    2. 2

      Channel mix & attribution

      Week 1–2

      Audit current paid / SEO / events / outbound / partner channels; install multi-touch attribution and CAC by channel.

    3. 3

      Demand programs build

      Week 2–4

      Design always-on demand programs (content, ABM, paid, events) with hypotheses, budgets and weekly read-outs.

    4. 4

      MQL→SQL→SAO discipline

      Week 4–6

      Define the lead lifecycle, scoring, SLAs and routing; lock the marketing → SDR → AE hand-off contract.

    5. 5

      Pipeline council cadence

      Week 6–8

      Stand up the weekly pipeline council with marketing + sales + RevOps; pipeline-coverage discipline against forecast.
