Why XDG

Why tech companies choose X Demand Generation

Built for complex B2B sales cycles

We design for enterprise buyers, long cycles and several stakeholders, and for the alignment between marketing and sales that these deals require.

Strategy and execution in one solution

One team designs the architecture, runs the campaigns, optimizes performance and measures pipeline impact, so nothing is lost between the plan and the work.

Measured on pipeline and revenue

Every activity is tied to qualified pipeline, sales velocity and ROI. An activity without a business case does not run.

How our pricing works
Two configurations

ABM or Funnel: which program you need

Most B2B tech companies need both, scoped and reported separately.

ABM Program Named accounts. Outbound. Precision over volume.
Funnel Program Unnamed accounts. Inbound. Volume over precision.

Named accounts

ABM Program

ABM matches investment to account potential. You choose the companies you want to win, and marketing and sales work the same accounts at the same time.

Strategic, 1:1: personalized engagement with every stakeholder in the buying committee
Lite, 1:Few: outreach personalized to clusters of accounts that share a profile
Programmatic, 1:Many: segment-level campaigns to a qualified audience of named companies
Pipeline tracked at account level, not by form fills

Best when your market is finite and relationships drive decisions.

Unnamed accounts

Funnel Program

The Funnel Program reaches the part of the market no account list covers. Broadcast and inbound channels run against one funnel, one handoff to sales, and one KPI model.

Audience and segment definition for each product
Full channel mix: paid search, LinkedIn, retargeting, email, and events
Funnel and KPI model with a defined handoff to sales
CRM tagging so Funnel results are never blended with ABM

Best when your market extends beyond any named list, or you need pipeline signals sooner.

How it runs

From kickoff to reliable pipeline signals

01Week 1 to 2

Kickoff and diagnostic

We review your commercial history, campaigns, CRM, and sales process, and find what has actually moved pipeline so far.

02Week 3 to 5

Strategy approved

ICP, messaging, channel mix, campaign plan, and KPIs are drafted, presented, and signed off. Nothing launches before this.

03Month 1 to 2

First channels live

LinkedIn and email outbound usually go first. Other channels phase in as the plan and budget allow.

04Month 3 onward

Pipeline signals

Demand generation needs 60 to 90 days to produce reliable signals. From here we optimize on pipeline data, every month.

Your budget is not locked into the plan written in month one. Every month we compare spend against the pipeline it produced, then move money away from channels and accounts that are not delivering and toward the ones that are.

FAQ

XDG questions

View all FAQs

Last updated: November 2026

How long until we see pipeline?

The strategy takes three to five weeks. The first channels go live in the first month of execution. Reliable pipeline signals take 60 to 90 days, which is why execution runs for a minimum of six months.

Do we need ABM, Funnel, or both?

If you can name the accounts you want to win, ABM covers them. If your market extends beyond any list, Funnel covers the rest. Most B2B tech companies need both, and the strategy phase decides the split.

Can we buy the strategy on its own?

Yes. XDG Strategy is a standalone engagement. You receive the Strategy Document and Go-to-Market Playbook, and your own team or another partner can execute it.

What is B2B demand generation?

B2B demand generation is the work of creating qualified pipeline for a sales team. It combines targeting, messaging, and channels such as paid media, outbound, and events, and it is measured on pipeline and revenue, not on clicks.
