Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

By Exit Five (B2B Marketing)

Design your B2B marketing engine—channels, budget, pipeline metrics, and what to measure.

Newsletter

• Guides you on writing effective subject lines, preview text, and newsletter content that gets opened and read
• Provides strategies for growing your subscriber list through lead magnets, referrals, and cross-promotions
• Explains how to segment your audience and personalize content for better engagement
• Teaches you how to monetize through sponsorships, premium tiers, products, and affiliates
• Helps you maintain deliverability, track key metrics, and re-engage inactive subscribers

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

• Explains how to split budget between brand-building (the 95% not ready to buy) and performance (the 5% in-market now)
• Helps you define the right metrics—shifting from MQLs to pipeline value and qualified opportunities
• Guides channel selection and attribution models so you know what's working and what's not
• Shows how to align marketing structure with your actual go-to-market motion (inbound, outbound, or partner-led)
• Surfaces buyer psychology—trigger events, deal cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions—so your campaigns match reality
