Engineer pipeline coverage, not just leads — channel mix, attribution, SLAs, and a 3–4× quota-coverage discipline.
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.
A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.
Reverse-engineer pipeline from quota: coverage ratio, conversion rates by stage, sales cycle and capacity per rep.
Audit current paid / SEO / events / outbound / partner channels; install multi-touch attribution and CAC by channel.
Design always-on demand programs (content, ABM, paid, events) with hypotheses, budgets and weekly read-outs.
Define the lead lifecycle, scoring, SLAs and routing; lock the marketing → SDR → AE hand-off contract.
Stand up the weekly pipeline council with marketing + sales + RevOps; pipeline-coverage discipline against forecast.
6–8 weeks setup; weekly running cadence
