Pipe Gen 2.0: Why the Current Pipeline Generation Model isn't Working

In this episode of GTM Science, Union Square Consulting Marketing Manager Rachael Bueckert and founder/CEO Eddie Reynolds dig deeper into Pipe Gen 2.0, a concept previously explored by Kyle Poyar in his newsletter. Eddie wants to take it a layer deeper, including the new pipeline playbook for renewals and expansion deals.

They begin by discussing the limitations of relying solely on MQLs given today's complex buying behaviors. Eddie emphasizes the importance of a broader perspective, focusing on account stages rather than individual leads. They highlight alternative models for tracking and improving sales and marketing efforts. Practical steps for implementing and operationalizing these concepts, including setting up account stages and conducting coverage reports, are explored.
