Tool stack audits
Real teardown of what's overlapping, underused, or quietly draining budget in your RevOps stack — with what to cut and what to keep.

Your MQL Is Lying to You
Hey — quick one this week. If your MQL count is up but pipeline isn’t, you’re not tracking a leading indicator. You’re tracking a vanity metric with a form on it.
“The lead score didn’t change. The buyer’s willingness to act did.”
- →Swap MQL volume for a intent-weighted pipeline score
- →Track time-to-second-touch, not form fills
- →Audit your lead scoring model quarterly, not annually
More on the scoring rebuild below.
