AI pipeline generation: the new math

If your CAC is going up, you're behind the AI-native cohort. Here's what they run.

The three-source blend

  • Signal-based outbound (lookalike + intent)
  • Content-driven inbound with agent triage
  • Warm-network activation via champion tracking

What died

Sequence-blast outbound. Purchased-list open rates. Manual SDR-to-AE handoff meetings.

Cost target

Under $100 cost per SQL for mid-market. Under $300 for enterprise. If you're over 3x, the funnel needs an audit.
