Pipeline Starter

You have the potential — now you need the system.

Our recommendation FOUNDATION

What this result means

The budget is there, a team too, and the will to make pipeline more predictable. What is still missing is the system behind it: clearly defined target accounts, a mapped buying committee and agreed handovers between marketing and sales. That is not a delay. It is the best moment to set it up properly from the start, before habits and tools harden.

The three next steps

  1. Define target accounts before buying tools. An ideal customer profile with hard criteria (industry, size, typical triggers), and from it a first, deliberately short list of accounts. Every later decision builds on it.
  2. Make the buying committee visible for each account. In the DACH region, several people usually decide by consensus. For your top accounts, record who is involved, who influences and who signs off.
  3. Agree on one handover between marketing and sales. Which signals make an account ready for sales, and who does what next? A one-page agreement is enough to start.

What matters at this stage

  • Tools before system. A new platform does not replace account selection. Without clear target accounts it mostly produces data.
  • One contact per account. Deals that hinge on a single person tip over in the consensus phase as soon as more voices join.
  • Demo before orientation. Early on, decision makers look for guidance, not product demos. Presenting too early costs the place on the shortlist.

Why FOUNDATION

In 6–8 weeks, together with your team, we build a documented account-based system: ICP and account playbook, buying committee map, LinkedIn architecture and an agreement between sales and marketing. After that, your team runs it on its own.
