Marketing and Sales Alignment That Influenced $18M+ in Pipeline
Mobilized a three-month, $625,000 rapid-growth initiative that influenced more than $18 million in pipeline
The Challenge
The business unit needed to accelerate acquisition and conversion quickly.
Â
Leadership was prepared to make a focused $625,000 investment, but the initiative had to mobilize Marketing and Sales around aggressive shared targets, generate meaningful lead volume within three months, and convert that demand into measurable pipeline.
The Action
We designed and mobilized P625 as a three-month rapid-growth initiative, translating the investment into a coordinated acquisition and conversion plan.
Â
The program aligned Marketing and Sales around shared goals, clear handoffs, and the activities required to create demand and turn new leads into sales conversations.

The impact
Why it worked
P625 generated more than 1,000 leads per month, influenced more than $18 million in pipeline, and increased new lead-to-Sales conversion from 45–50% to 70%.
Â
The three-month initiative demonstrated how a focused investment, shared targets, and coordinated execution could rapidly improve both demand volume and conversion performance.
The initiative created shared ownership across Marketing and Sales.
Â
Every dollar had a defined role, every team worked toward the same acquisition and conversion targets, and execution was built around both lead generation and what happened after a lead entered the sales process.
Â
That alignment turned a short, intensive program into measurable pipeline impact.
