The foundational premise of traditional B2B lead generation—that volume at the top of the funnel linearly translates to revenue at the bottom—is structurally flawed. Revenue leaders have known for years that the Marketing Qualified Lead (MQ...
The B2B Institute’s 95-5 rule—stating that 95% of buyers aren't actively in-market—sparked the Account-Based Marketing (ABM) revolution. We learned to separate Fit (who can buy) from Intent (who wants to buy). We bought the data subscriptio...
