But nothing is really moving forward.In this episode, Bella and Max break down a core issue in B2B SaaS: marketing that isn’t aligned with the buyer journey.Most teams focus on doing more. More campaigns, more content, more leads.

What is a lead… really? In this episode, we unpack one of the most overlooked but critical issues in marketing and sales alignment: how we define leads, MQLs, and qualification.Because when those definitions aren’t aligned, everything downstream starts to break: pipeline quality, conversion rates, forecasting, and ultimately, revenue.We explore:Why “a lead” means different things to different teamsThe hidden risks of confusing activity with buying intentA different way to think about MQLs as future potential, not just engagementWhy relevance, not pressure, is what truly moves prospects forwardAnd how misalignment can quietly create a “ghost pipeline.”If you want a more predictable, efficient revenue engine, it starts here, with clarity.
