Your marketing efforts don’t matter if you can’t track them back to revenue. Not by channel, campaign or asset but sourced from your website or field team not partners or outbound. Regardless of how strategic and brand focused we want to be, we will be fired if our work doesn’t show that it’s growing the business.

No, someone read an article related to your category on a random website is not reason to cold call them. Their intent was not to start a conversation or sales motion. It was to educate themselves on a topic.

I download a content offer to educate myself on a topic, not to purchase a product. I don’t want to be contacted because of that download. I don’t want to be cold called. Of my 100+ saas purchases, 1 has been through cold outreach. Buyers know what to do when they are ready to buy. How do you buy?

What if every “MQL” could become an opportunity? What would that mean for your business? What would that mean for the quality of your sales interactions? For your revenue?
