Key parameters
MQLs: As it’s ABM with pre-qualified data set, any form fill from a qualified lead from prospect list. Target Conversion Rate: MQL to SQL at 25% Goals: 20 MQLs per month, 1st MQL value $500, subsequent MQLs from same company = $200 Strategy: Quality-first ABM
Goal
Zero in on ICP execs with premium LinkedIn lead gen, then help with YouTube & retarget. This is our strategy for with low category and solution awareness, long sales cycle, and somewhat complex buying committees. Mix
LI Sponsored Content: 30% Assumptions
CPLs by channel
LI Sponsored Content: $200 Raw → MQL 35%
MQL → SQL 25%
Distribution & targets
No. of leads = (Budget x channel distribution)/CPL
LI SC: ($10K x 30%)/200 = 15 leads, with $10K as budget
Assuming a 25% SQL-to-deal conversion rate, we should get (12 x 25%) x $20K = $60K in rev potential
Assuming a 25% SQL-to-deal conversion rate, we should get (4 x 25%) x $20K = $20K in rev potential
