    How it works

    How we work with IT vendors.

    Every engagement starts with a clear brief, defined deliverables, and measurable outcomes. No retainers that run forever without accountability.

    01

    Scoping call

    We understand your current GTM, your ICP, your channels, and the pipeline gaps you are trying to close. No generic intake forms, just a real conversation.

    02

    Proposal and brief

    We produce a clear proposal with defined scope, deliverables, timelines, and success metrics. You know exactly what you are getting and when.

    03

    Engagement launch

    We start with a structured onboarding process to capture everything we need from your team, then we get to work with minimal ongoing demands on your time.

    04

    Results and review

    Monthly reporting against agreed pipeline metrics, with regular reviews to ensure the program is tracking against your objectives.

    Start here

    Start with the pipeline.

    Tell us what your pipeline needs to do next quarter. We will tell you plainly whether we can fill the gap, what it would involve, and whether we are the right partner. You will hear back within one business day.

    We'll be in touch within one business day.

    Settle these four things first

    Four decisions belong to you and nobody can take them on your behalf. Settling them before you brief anyone makes the first conversation shorter and the scope honest.

    • Pick the service line or product you want to grow this year, and park the others for two quarters.
    • Agree who answers a buyer within one working day, and what happens when they are away.
    • Write the two questions your board will ask about this spend, and the answer you have today.
    • Set the single number you will report to your board each quarter, and where it comes from.

    Written down, those four fit on half a page. They also set the scope of the first conversation with any agency.

    Questions about the strategy work

    What is a go-to-market plan?

    The ideal customer profile (ICP), the argument each buyer role hears, the channels you fund, and the enablement your reps use. It ends in a list of accounts your leadership has approved.

    How long does the work take?

    The scoping call fixes the handover date, and most programs go live inside 30 days. The account list is agreed first, so campaign work can start while the enablement is still being written.

    Do you rewrite our website?

    Only where the wording contradicts the plan. The priority is the approved account list, the wording for each role, and the objection answers your reps use.

    Can we start with one segment?

    Yes, and it is usually faster. One segment, one buying committee, and two channels give you a result you can read before the plan is widened.

    Who needs to be involved?

    Approval of the account list sits with your sales leadership. One product or marketing owner supplies the claims, and two reps sit in on the message test.

    What if the market says no?

    Then we tell you at the review, with the segments the signals favor instead. A plan that survives a buyer interview is worth more than a plan that agrees with you.

    Questions about lead generation programs

    What is a qualified lead?

    A qualified lead is a verified decision-maker who is evaluating now, delivered with the buying trigger, the stakeholder map, and the intent history. Each one names the event that opened the buying window.

    When does the first lead land?

    The first qualified leads arrive within 5 days of launch, and most programs go live inside 30 days from the scoping call. Your reps open the call with the brief in front of them.

    How are accounts chosen?

    Every account is scored on 2.2 million verified data points across four datasets: demographic, firmographic, intent, and behavioral. An account showing vendor evaluation activity, or sitting inside a renewal window, moves up the list.

    Which channels do you run?

    Outbound, LinkedIn, email, programmatic, and placements on vettdd.com, an owned channel reaching 400K+ IT decision makers. Your approved account list decides which of them you fund.

    Where does the lead land?

    In your reps' calendar, with the record synced to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Dynamics 365, after budget, authority, need, and timeline (BANT) have been checked.

    Questions about working with xpandly

    Who does the work?

    A dedicated program manager owns your program for the term. The person who scoped the work stays on it, so nothing moves to a junior after signature.

    How is progress reported?

    A report of impressions with an empty pipeline column may be what you were sent last time. Here the number is qualified conversations and pipeline, published on a dashboard open at any time.

    Do you work with our agency?

    Yes, where the split is clear. This team usually runs demand and handover while your agency keeps brand and content, and the reporting line stays with one owner.

    What about the guarantee?

    It applies to the Microsoft Copilot Lead Generation program, where the figure, the window, and the remedy are stated together on the program page.
