Beyond the MQL: What Actually Drives Pipeline Now?

If your pipeline is harder to build this year, you are not alone.

Many B2B marketing teams are facing the same reality right now: inbound is slowing, more activity is not translating into more revenue, and the metrics that used to tell the story are under increasing pressure. This roundtable brought together marketing and revenue leaders for a candid peer discussion on what is actually changing in pipeline creation, what Sales trusts today, and how high-performing teams are adapting qualification, prioritization, and account engagement strategies. No slides. No pitch deck. Just a frank conversation. Watch the full recording on demand.

What you'll learn:

• What metrics matter most now. Which signals, engagement patterns, and leading indicators are actually correlating with pipeline and revenue, and which ones are noise.
• AI and the changing inbound journey. How AI tools are reshaping how buyers research, self-qualify, and engage before they ever talk to a rep, and what that means for how marketing should respond.
• Signal quality vs. signal overload. Most teams have more data than ever and less clarity. What separates teams that are using intent signals well from teams that are drowning in them.
• Buying groups and account engagement. Why single-contact lead models break down for complex B2B sales, and how high-performing teams are shifting toward account and committee-level engagement.
• What Sales actually trusts today. A frank conversation about the gap between what marketing reports and what sales respects, and what it takes to close it.
