Fullfunnel.io

I live and breathe B2B marketing since 2006. 

Before launching Fullfunnel.io, I spent 8 years in the enterprise segment working for Kimberly Clark and Biosphere Corporation.

What makes Fullfunnel.io different?

1. Ins and outs of selling to enterprise

Coming from the mid-market and enterprise world, I know all the ins and outs of selling to these segments: the research and evaluation processes, decision-making procedures inside the buying committee and the approval workflows. 

We’ve been there, done that, and know how to generate opportunities with these segments and influence the decision-making processes.

2. Niche experience

While we could help many B2B business, since 2007 we focus exclusively on two verticals: high-value B2B tech (enterprise SaaS, blockchain technology, hardware) and service-based companies (software development, consulting, cybersecurity, DevOps as a service, etc). 

We were and still are “in the trenches”, know the lowdown of these businesses, so you’ll get access to 30+ years of our combined experience and knowledge. 

3. Knowledge transfer and in-house operations

We believe that the real growth can only be driven in-house. You need to have people who are in the trenches every day, talking to customers, experiencing the sales hurdles, refining the messages and positioning.

We join your team as external marketing advisors, provide consistent support and training including step-by-step playbooks, templates, marketing and sales dashboards, tech stack and process maps.

As a result, you get an evergreen in-house growth engine.

ROIplan

ROIPlan's mission is to empower B2B marketing teams and help them to create revenue-driven marketing plans. 

I started my career as a sales rep and, after five years in sales, switched to marketing. Another eight years, I worked as a CMO and B2B marketing consultant with 50+ B2B Companies from Europe and North America.

Every company I joined, I saw the same problem: 

Stakeholders and B2B sales teams didn't believe marketing and didn't believe in marketing. They didn't see the marketing impact on revenue.

One of the biggest problems is that marketers don't know how to present a marketing plan for executives and sales teams. Board members don't see a direct positive impact on revenue and decline plan and budget.

Besides this, there are lots of challenges that marketers face when working on marketing plans:

- Find history and the reports of the experiments in the past
- Allocate marketing budget in the most efficient way
- Prepare executive reports that show the ROI of the campaigns
- Orchestrate and align marketing campaigns with the sales team
- Prioritize experiments and focus on those that might generate the highest possible ROI
- Align non-lead generation campaigns with business goals and evaluate success criteria
- Managing lots of Google Sheets and project management tools to plan, present and execute a marketing plan

All this led to the idea of creating a marketing planning software that will simplify marketers preparing revenue-driving plans and get executive approval.

-> Create revenue-driving marketing plans and get executive approval in ROIplan:
-> Identify the top priority campaigns and experiments
-> Allocate your marketing budget most efficiently by channels and experiments
-> See what experiments generated the highest ROI in the past and what performed poorly
-> Get your campaigns and budget approved by the supervisor or your client

Co-founder @Fullfunnel.io| ABM & full-funnel marketing for B2B tech companies with high ACV and long sales cycle

We transform B2B Tech and Service-based companies from siloed sales and marketing to full-funnel account-based marketing and demand generation. 

We help your team develop an ABM strategy, launch pilot programs, operationalize and scale the programs without ramping up budget or depending on external agencies.

Here is how.

1. ABM STRATEGY.

2. LAUNCH PILOT ABM PROGRAM.

Within a single quarter, we’ll work with a pilot team to implement a minimal viable full-funnel program, without pausing existing processes. The pilot team usually consists of one marketer and one sales development rep.  

When we hit the target KPIs, we move to the operationalization and scaling stage.

At this stage we combine ABM with demand generation function to create a holistic model that creates awareness, generates demand and activates accounts that are already engaged across the full funnel.

No VP of Sales said: "I expect marketing to orchestrate our engagement playbooks". Yet this is what often happens with ABM:

Marketing:

- Creates multiple sales playbooks & engagement sequences
- Designs timeline
- Add best practices

Then, marketing shares with sales 87-pages deck and asks to implement.
One month later: "Sales doesn't use our playbooks and content".

This year I've interviewed 9 enterprise B2B Saas VP of Sales to dive deeper into the challenges they want to solve with ABM and get marketing hands-on help (check our roundup: https://lnkd.in/dXi5M6wc)

Here are 5 core areas:

1. AWARENESS AMONG STRATEGIC ACCOUNTS.

Awareness is not created by running more ads, drip personalized nurturing and outbound cadences.

Awareness is not created by creating more AI content nobody is going to read.

Awareness is created through the engagement with ICP ecocystem:

-High-quality thought leadership program with SMEs and executives
-Top-notch events
-Collaborations and direct engagement with the target accounts.
-Constant engagement with the communities and thought leaders

2.  CHANGE MANAGEMENT CONTENT.

Modern B2B buyers don't need one more "How to cut your costs" whitepaper. Modern buyers want to see:

-Industry trends and stats
-Concrete practical examples and best practices: dashboards, workflows, templates
-How to challenge an internal inertia and status quo

In most cases, sales don't use marketing content because it doesn't fall in any of these categories. 

3.  COMPLETE ACCOUNT ENGAGEMENT.

Most organizations use lead handoff as a default function:

MQL generated -> assign to SDR.
Webinar signed up -> Assign to SDR

In 2026 to cut through the noise you need to have a holistic visibility:

- Who engaged with what content and ads
- What were historical interactions
- When was a spike in high-intent page visits
- Which events buying committee members has attended

This way sales move from desperate pitching to meaningful 1-1 account planning.

4. BUYER ENABLEMENT.

You don't win deals with fancy pitch decks. You win when your Champion can sell your product at the next internal meeting.

Sales can create business cases showing challenges, cost of inaction, and recommended solutions.

But they need marketing's help with:

- Product screenshots that address specific buyer questions
- Relevant customer testimonials and references
- Data snapshots

We dive deeper here: https://lnkd.in/d2QqTTeh

5. CLEAR MESSAGING.

Nothing frustrates sales more than prospects asking: "But what exactly does your product do?"

Anthony Pierri and Rob Kaminski have tons of great templates on how to fix it.

B2B marketing plans often fail because of one reason: 
Lack of clarity.


Bad plans include vague activities that are usually misunderstood by leadership and sales.

Brand awareness is not about running ads for ungated content.

ABM is not about making a wish list of accounts, running display ads and automated emails.

Lead nurturing is not about setting up an automated sequence of emails to push the discovery call.

But yet most plans just mention these programs without any clarification.

If sales and leadership don't support these plans, it's not because they don't get marketing.

It's because they:

-Don't see the impact of these programs on the bottom line
-Don't expect it to be a cross-functional motion and expect marketing to run everything without sales involvement.

Good marketing plans are:

1. BALANCED.

-80%: always-on programs that work historically
-10%: short-term cross-functional campaigns co-created with sales
-10%: experiments

2. DETAILED AND FOCUSED

All programs have clear:

-Detailed timeline
-Goals and expectations
-Success and failure criteria
-Resources involvement
-Leading and lagging indicators to track program efficiency
-Forecast
-Weekly planning and review meetings (see an example: https://lnkd.in/dN_hMyfQ)
-Campaign visual outline (or deck) to show how it impacts the pipeline and revenue

Our template: https://lnkd.in/dSmufFht

3. INTERCONNECTED AND CROSS-FUNCTIONAL.

Every program impacts another, avoiding siloed execution.

Thought leadership ads to strategic accounts generate 1st-party engagement signals sales use for further engagement.

Webinars are tailored to a specific use case, buyer persona, and subset of accounts. They repurpose thought leadership content, and are repurposed later as market research.

4. INFLUENCING THE ENTIRE BUYER JOURNEY.

Marketing plans shouldn't be "brand awareness vs demand capture", "new pipeline vs expansion". 

If you focus on brand only, your sales process will struggle. We saw several MarTech companies generating buzz around them but struggling to convert brand into demand.

If you focus on demand capture, you'll miss the majority of the market.

Good marketing plans generate revenue while creating future pipeline, growing share of wallet, and preventing churn.

5. BACKED BY DATA.

Marketing plans based on gut feelings or broad data always fail.

Plans that include revenue trends and sales pipeline velocity across markets, segments, use cases (clusters) help to make smart bets.

Let me know which resource was the most helpful and which one you'd like us to add.

The fundamental enterprise marketing mismatch: engaging accounts with 2-week personalized cadences while the enterprise sales cycle is 9–12 months...

At FullFunnel.io, our typical sales cycle is 9-12 months with 80-100 touchpoints across the buying committee (way beyond 12 emails over two weeks) :)

Our buyer's journey typically starts when they see our LinkedIn thought leadership content. 

Other touchpoints are happening later through:

- Weekly newsletter diving into ABM and GTM strategy
- Live weekly podcast where buyers can ask questions
- Quarterly webinars
- Content hubs tailored to specific challenges and solutions (launching pilot ABM, initiating change management, etc)
- 1-1 conversations on LinkedIn
- Content co-creation

Before we generate a sales opportunity, we help our buyers to:

- Identify the root reasons for their challenges and the solutions in strategy sessions
- Build a business case to get stakeholder buy-in
- Design pilot programs with clear metrics, resources and timeline

It's not ad-hoc and not optional. This is how the enterprise buyer journey is happening.

The trap I see most B2B companies fall down is focusing on the volume and scalability instead of focusing on future pipeline creation and thorough account development to land enterprise deals.

They try to replicate what works for SMB / low-size deals:

- Developing target lists from ZoomInfo / Apollo / Clay
- Set up personalized outreach sequences Outreach / lemlist
- Run air cover to the same set of accounts

The SMB playbook is optimized for fast pipeline creation with minimal human involvement.

While enterprise playbook requires:

- In-depth account research and thorough account mapping
- Constant engagement with 5+ buying committee members across the entire sales cycle (9-12 months): power users, champions, stakeholders
- Personalized activities and content per account

You can't fix it with technology.

You can fix it only with setting up cross-functional teams that are focused on continuous account development and quarter milestone metrics for 12-month sales cycle:

Q1: X engaged buyers, initial conversations, account penetration
Q2: Discovery calls
Q3: Business case creation
Q4: Sales opportunities

Horizontal sales are killing marketing in B2B tech companies. Here is what I repeatedly observe:

The sales team has a horizontal setup:
Team A (horizontal hunters) finds new logos across ANY industry, ANY product
Team B (solution architects acting as account executives) closes the deals

The idea is simple: maximum coverage and scalable setup optimized for volume.

The reality? 

A $250K+ product with 10+ distinct use cases trying to sell to everyone is like a lottery man moving around the city trying to sell lottery tickets.

This setup makes marketing doomed by default.

Marketing is supposed to create a generic content masked as "industry thought leadership", prepare "one-size-fits-all" messaging and run campaigns nobody engages with.

And when marketing suggests changing the approach, "we know our business better" meets "I don't think put anything that is not a typical lead gen_is what we need".

We are in 2026 where generic marketing and sales are cracking like peanuts.
Nobody is going to read your "Why you need to buy this..." PDF.

We must stop this harmful thinking that our buyers are not aware of their challenges and potential solutions. Generic content and messaging was neutraly perceived a decade ago, but today it hurts your brand.

My honest take:

You can't run a good B2B marketing with a horizontal sales structure optimized for volume. You can't create compelling narratives when your ICP is "anyone who might need our product."

The fix isn't working harder. It's making hard choices:

Prioritizing use cases
Defining verticals where these use cases have strongest demand
Develop account qualification characteristics
Define primary buyer persona
Forming dedicated (even if small) cross-functional teams that own those accounts end-to-end: from awareness creation to expansion
Update your messaging and create content that appeals to the interests of that buyer persona and is created by a subject-matter expert, not Chatgpt

We are now in an era where volume is available for everybody, enabled AI. But I firmly believe that in this period the growth will come from things that are considered non-scalable:

-Expert content tailored to a specific ICP
-Great distribution
-Manual engagement with the target buyers
-Clear messaging
