How to operate this channel

Operator playbook

  1. Use intent data (6sense, Bombora) to layer onto LinkedIn targeting.
  2. Treat top-of-funnel as brand-building, not lead-gen — measure pipeline-touched, not MQL.
  3. Multi-channel ABM beats single-channel by 2.3x on close rate.
  4. Sales + marketing alignment is the rate-limiter — service-level agreements on lead handoff.
  5. Brand-touched MQLs convert 2.4x — fund brand alongside performance.
