Stage 1: Plan & Execute
Basics
Sales-led strategy with elements of PLG
Focus on MQLs and, accordingly, SQLs that match the
target profile & buyer persona data
Omnichannel/integrated market strategy would be the best
with the appropriate funnel-stage-wise channel mix and
formats (mentioned further)
Numbers could & should be corrected after more data is
available
Set up must-have analytics, tools & retargeting ads ASAP
Numbers
Since the goal is to accumulate $XK New MRR, while the
monthly ARPA is $Y0 (average from a yearly range of
$AAK-$AAK) minus the current churn rate of C%,

Budgets
With shown LTV of $4D on average, the 'traditional' maths
tells us we could spend up to $3D, about 25% of it to be
CAC
However, this should be unnecessary since the market is
unsaturated and still immature, the company is young and
the segment is not 'SuperEnterprise' with sky-high demands
At the current stage, and if being scrappy, I'd estimate the
average CAC to be from up to to $2-3K
ABM
Campaign
A glance into a scrappy ABM
campaign & how I'd plan it
Structure, Timeline, Parties
Event -> 1-month prep, sales, marketing, design &
development, outside speaker (additional time to negotiate
prior to prep)
LinkedIn event promo -> 1-month duration, LI Ads
contractor
Registration CTA -> set-it-and-forget-it
Pre-event lead nurturing -> 2-week duration, marketing
The event itself -> sales, marketing, outside speaker
Post-event lead magnet -> marketing
Post-event further nurturing -> marketing
Qualified leads -> sales
Event
Say, we are to hold a webinar/workshop on 'The Future of Hybrid'
(format and topic are TBD).
The event brings value to our ICPs and has real-world data to
share.
LinkedIn Promo
Since LI is one of the best free/inexpensive options for
targeting the right accounts, we are going to use free
event invitations & paid Ads, both targeting our Buyer
Personas (e.g. X in London or across EU).
