The match

B2B Demand Generation Lead

Fit 91

  • Your goal is pipeline, and this profile is measured on qualified opportunities, not clicks.
  • LinkedIn and search together need one owner who plans audiences across both.
  • A software sale has a long cycle, so reporting runs from first touch to closed deal.

Suggested plan: Channel Team, 4,800 USD per month

For the person who signs the budget

The expensive mistake is rarely the fee. It is hiring the wrong shape of help. A full service retainer for a company that needed one paid search specialist burns a quarter before anyone admits it. A freelancer hired for a job that needed a planner and two channels stalls just as quietly. Either way you lose three months and the money that went with them.

A scoped engagement removes most of that risk, because the role, the deliverables and the price are on paper before work starts.

What every proposal contains

  • The matched profile and the people on the engagement
  • A 90 day scope, week by week
  • The monthly fee and what is excluded, with ad spend shown separately
  • The KPIs and how often you get a report
  • The notice period, 30 days, and who owns the accounts, always you

Larger programs run on Enterprise

Multi brand or multi market work runs on the Enterprise plan: a named team, response time SLA, a security review and consolidated invoicing. See enterprise marketing team details and how we handle brief data.
