Co-founder @Fullfunnel.io| ABM & full-funnel marketing for B2B tech companies with high ACV and long sales cycle

We transform B2B Tech and Service-based companies from siloed sales and marketing to full-funnel account-based marketing and demand generation. 

We help your team develop an ABM strategy, launch pilot programs, operationalize and scale the programs without ramping up budget or depending on external agencies.

Here is how.

1. ABM STRATEGY.

We go together through a 3-week initial strategy sprint that includes: 

- Deep assessment of current marketing and sales processes
- Challenges both teams face and the root reasons behind them
- Revenue and channel analysis to identify focus markets and ICP for the ABM campaigns
- Custom ABM strategy development including detailed:
- Marketing and sales alignment with ICP, strategy and playbooks

2. LAUNCH PILOT ABM PROGRAM.

Within a single quarter, we’ll work with a pilot team to implement a minimal viable full-funnel program, without pausing existing processes. The pilot team usually consists of one marketer and one sales development rep.  

When we hit the target KPIs, we move to the operationalization and scaling stage.

3.DEVELOPING FULL-FUNNEL ABM FUNCTION.

At this stage we combine ABM with demand generation function to create a holistic model that creates awareness, generates demand and activates accounts that are already engaged across the full funnel.

SPRINTS INCLUDE:

-> Account-Based Marketing

-> LinkedIn demand generation and social selling

-> GTM strategy

-> Sales enablement

-> Demand generation and accounts warm-up

Co-founder

At Fullfunnel.io we are growing B2B companies with long and complex sales cycles since 2006.

We were and still are “in trenches”, know the lowdown of these businesses, and bring to the table our 30+ years of combined experience and knowledge. 

I live and breathe B2B marketing since 2006. 

Before launching Fullfunnel.io, I spent 8 years in the enterprise segment working for Kimberly Clark and Biosphere Corporation.

What makes Fullfunnel.io different?

1. Ins and outs of selling to enterprise

Coming from the mid-market and enterprise world, I know all the ins and outs of selling to these segments: the research and evaluation processes, decision-making procedures inside the buying committee and the approval workflows. 

We’ve been there, done that, and know how to generate opportunities with these segments and influence the decision-making processes.

2. Niche experience

While we could help many B2B business, since 2007 we focus exclusively on two verticals: high-value B2B tech (enterprise SaaS, blockchain technology, hardware) and service-based companies (software development, consulting, cybersecurity, DevOps as a service, etc). 

We were and still are “in the trenches”, know the lowdown of these businesses, so you’ll get access to 30+ years of our combined experience and knowledge. 

3. Knowledge transfer and in-house operations

We believe that the real growth can only be driven in-house. You need to have people who are in the trenches every day, talking to customers, experiencing the sales hurdles, refining the messages and positioning.

We join your team as external marketing advisors, provide consistent support and training including step-by-step playbooks, templates, marketing and sales dashboards, tech stack and process maps.

As a result, you get an evergreen in-house growth engine.

My favorite way to explain B2B marketing for long sales cycles is by showing demand generation from the buyer perspective:

I. I WANT TO LEARN.

Individual buyers are exploring topics, upskilling themselves, and discovering best practices and industry trends. They're not actively looking for solutions yet—they're in learning mode.

At this stage, buyers might:

- Discover good content from a brand and start following them
- Share good content with colleagues
- Consume educational materials like podcasts, webinars, or articles
- Build awareness of different approaches and vendors

This is the foundation stage where you get noticed, build trust, and awareness before a specific business need emerges.

II. WE WANT A SOLUTION.

The buying group has agreed on the top-priority challenge and the consequences of not solving it now. They start looking for different solutions.

The vendor that was able to clearly articulate that their solution (not a product) is the best fit for this type of challenge, wins an opportunity to be considered during the next round.

Here is an example.

Our enterprise pipeline declined in 2025 by 27%. Despite multiple attempts and efforts, neither marketing nor sales knows how to fix it. We need a solution.

At this point, Champions might consider multiple solutions:

- Invest in sales training
- Hire SDRs and AEs with a proven track record of selling to enterprise
- Launch an account-based marketing program
- Invest in outreach scripts...

The list is endless.

III. WE WANT A SOLUTION LIKE YOURS.

After evaluating multiple solutions by fit, resources and budget, the buying group makes a decision to select one of them. At this point, they start looking at different vendors and book discovery calls to learn more.

Example: We want to start an account-based marketing program.

Alternatives:

- Buy an ABM platform and launch a program based on the playbooks provided by that vendor
- Hire an ABM agency
- Buy an ABM course or workshop
- Hire an experienced consulting company

Guess what you should do as a vendor?

IV. WE WANT YOUR SOLUTION.

After selecting the best-fit solution, the buying committee presents it to stakeholders to get consensus and support for the vendor evaluation.

This is where you start seeing high-intent signals and generate opportunities.

Example: We want to hire you as our consultant partner to implement a pilot ABM program. What is the scope, budget, and resources needed?

You need to invest in fully personalized buyer enablement.

V. WE ARE READY TO BUY FROM YOU.

The buying committee has approved the budget and the resources, you're moving to the procurement and POC phase.

---

These stages represent a typical buyer journey. The first three stages could take 9-12 months and often define if you're getting into the consideration set. 

Most B2B companies ignore it and try to capture the demand from in-market accounts, and this is the exact reason why the pipeline dries up.

Account-based content strategy shouldn't be complex. Here is the breakdown:  
( sign up for deep dive here: https://lnkd.in/dec4k53c).

1: MANY.

We target the entire ICP cluster, accepting the fact that most of them are not in the market now and there is no buying intent.

- Daily LinkedIn thought leadership: ABM, Full-Funnel Marketing, B2B demand generation.
- Weekly email newsletter
- Weekly live podcast
- Quarterly step-by-step webinars
- Annual Full-Funnel Summit

1:FEW.

The level of intent is medium, and these accounts could become a future pipeline. The goal is to generate demand and get into the consideration set.

- Cluster + Jobs-To-Be-Done Specific content (e.g. How to successfully replicate your pilot ABM program with the regional teams).

- Detailed industry case studies with our clients: video interviews + content summary, where we review specific ABM programs in detail.

1:1.

We want to accelerate the sales cycle and influence the purchase decisions of the accounts with the high intent:

- Fully personalized business cases and solutions for a specific account
- Arguments for multiple stakeholders (e.g. how sales will benefit from ABM, etc).

There are 2 companies that dared to challenge the absurdity of B2B marketing with video content: Cognism feat. Todd Clouser (The Worst Marketer in The World) and Dapper - the demand agency feat. Tycho Luijten and Steven van Marle (see one of my favorite videos they created).

Two companies stood out because they were not afraid to:

- innovate
- differentiate
- challenge the status quo

Ask any B2B sales team about their challenges, and in most cases you'll hear:

Our target accounts don't know us.

Most B2B companies are invisible to their buyers.

Not because they lack budget. Not because their product is bad.

Because they sound exactly like everyone else. They play safe.

Same gated whitepaper "10 trends in our market in 2026". Same pictures from the conference. Same narrative according to the "tone of voice".

B2B shouldn't stay for Boring to Boring. 

Even if you are not going to produce video content, you can stand out with:

- Insights and data (e.g. Kerry Cunningham doing a constant research for 6sense)

- Infographics explaining complex B2B marketing (we and Pierre Herubel took that pass)

- Actionable templates (cudos to Jen Allen-Knuth , Nate Nasralla, Rob Kaminski)

It's just a choice.

I've invited Tycho to our Full-Funnel Summit to stress-test his framework in an enterprise B2B.

Join us to learn:

* How to become the first brand your buyer thinks of — even with a 2-person content team, zero video capability, and a CEO who wants you to "go broad"
* The actual process, resources, and costs behind viral B2B content — and how to prove ROI when your CFO calls brand "a nice-to-have"
* How to make "niche famous" work in enterprise with 18-month sales cycles and 500 target accounts

No B2B buyer ever said:

"Hey, I'm interested in being your MQL. 

Please, send me your automated email nurturing cadence and transfer my email and phone number to your Sales Rep.  I'd love to spend a few hours on a qualification call and then hang out with your Account Executive."

B2B buyers don't engage with marketing content, sign up for webinars or field events, because they are READY to buy.

They engage because the topic resonated with them, and they'd like to learn more.

We have a fundamental problem here.

Because of siloed sales and marketing, marketers are under the pressure to generate leads.

Nobody even questions the LEAD definition.

Hence, marketing collects any engament (sign-ups, downloads, email link clicks) and handovers it to sales. If, eventually, sales generate an opportunity, this opportunity is presented as marketing-influenced.

But in the most cases, it ends up with blaming each other at the next board meeting.

Stop thinking about conversions at each touchpoint. 

Start doing this: 

1. UNDERSTAND YOUR BUYERS.

- What do my best customers have in common? 
- What triggers their research? What attracts their attention? 
- Where do they learn? Hang out? Whom do they follow?
- What are their jobs-to-be-done and their daily challenges?
- What questions do they ask? 
- Which evaluation criteria do they use? 
- What do they value the most? 

2. BE PRESENT IN THE CHANNELS WHERE YOUR BUYERS ARE.

Clicks and downloads doesn't matter. Account awareness and nurturing matters.

Stop:

1. Dropping links to your website in every social post.
2. Create mediocre articles based on high-volume keywords
3. Producing low-quality PDFs to collect MQLs and transfer them to sales

Start:

Create top-notch content optimized for native consumption in the channel.

3. CONNECT AND ENGAGE WITH YOUR BUYERS.

In complex B2B the relationship is what drives the revenue aside from a strong brand and content.

Enable your marketing and sales to be active on target social platforms and communities to connect and engage with the target buyers, not pitching them.

4. DISTRIBUTE CONTENT.

Creating great content without making sure your target audience consumes it is a waste of time.

Develop a content distribution workflow through:

- Own assets: newsletter, social profiles, etc.
- Sharing in communities
- Paid and 1-1 distribution to target accounts

5. CAPTURE THE DEMAND.

Sales-ready buyers will reach out to you. Here's what to do with the rest:

- Remove friction from the buying process
- Do a progressive profiling to personalize further nurturing and activation.
- Add target accounts that hit an engagement threshold to ABM playbooks
- Deveop personalized warm-up and activation activities to generate sales opps

"LEADS" are the consequence of brand awareness, demand generation, joint marketing and sales nurturing, customer advocacy, and great product.

LinkedIn and organic reach are down. Our pipeline quality is up 20x. Here’s what's happening and what works today:

- In Q3 2025, organic reach hit its lowest point ever (down 65% from peak feat Will McTighe)
- Company pages falling from 7% to just 2% visibility in feeds (feat. Iternum Digital)
- Typical reach for content published from personal profiles is: 167 views for people with <1k followers and 5372 views for people with 50k-100k followers.

All of these means one simple fact:

Publish on the company’s page and wait for clicks is not working anymore.

My best guess:

LinkedIn is fighting with AI slop and low-quality content by trying to increase relevancy.

90% of LinkedIn feed is AI-generated content and selling-first posts. The signal-to-noise ratio has never been worse.

We’ve experienced this ourselves at FullFunnel.io. Our LinkedIn reach dropped 5-7x compared to two years ago. But our pipeline quality improved 20x over the same period.

Why?

Again, my best guess is because we never tried to chase the reach and always focused on jobs-to-be-done of our target buyers.

We ran an analysis with Vladimir Blagojević to find what works today. 

Here are 6 content formats that cut through the noise and generate awareness today.

1. Entertainment-first video (feat. Tycho Luijten).

Why it works: 

Humor is massively underused on LinkedIn. People are on social media to laugh or to learn. If you only do the second, you’re competing with thousands of identical videos. Add entertainment, and you break the pattern entirely.

2. Infographics (feat. Pierre Herubel).

Why it works: 

Infographics have the highest dwell time, save rates and profile click-through rate. Basically, what LinkedIn wants.

3. Carousels (feat. Sara Stella Lattanzio).

Why it works:

Same reasons as for infographics, with the difference that in carousels you can add more text and visual examples + provide step-by-step playbooks.

4. Proprietary research.

Why it works:

Any piece of content can be created in seconds. What can’t be created by AI is the data nobody else has. Your proprietary data.

When you publish research from real interviews or client data, your research becomes cited and shared on social, communities, newsletters, and sales decks.

I'll share the links to our favorite examples below.

5. Practical templates (feat. Jen Allen-Knuth and Nate Nasralla).

Why it works:

Templates are immediately applicable. Buyers don’t just read them, they save them, use them, and share them with colleagues. You deliver value upfront.

6. “How leading companies do it” case studies (feat. Elric Legloire).

Everybody is interested in how leading companies became “leading” :) 

What do they do differently? 
How do they do it? 
What processes and tools do they use? 
How do they structure their teams?

7 years ago we started this summit because we couldn't find a B2B marketing event that was honest about what actually works in complex, long-cycle enterprise sales.

Not the new shiny AI automation. Not the new narrative about generating meetings on autopilot.

But how to solve the real challenges every B2B marketing team faces today:

→ How to drive pipeline when your sales cycle is 12-18 months and leadership wants results this quarter 

→ How to prove marketing's contribution to revenue when early influence disappears in your CRM and last-touch attribution gets all the credit 

→ How to run ABM with a lean team and a limited budget 

→ How to get the attention of buyers who ignore cold outreach, unsubscribe from nurture sequences, and do 70% of their research before ever talking to sales
---

We keep it free because we believe this content should be accessible to every B2B marketing and sales team, not just the ones with a $5K event budget.

All we ask in return:

if this looks valuable to you, help us spread the word.

→ Grab your free ticket: https://lnkd.in/dec4k53c 

→ Tag one colleague in marketing, sales or RevOps who's dealing with any of the challenges above

See you at the summit.

Stapho T

Hello there👋🏼! Thanks for checking out my profile. 

As you can see, I'm Stapho Thienpont; a B2B marketing consultant focused on companies with high ACV.

Instead of trying very hard to convince you of my expertise, I would like to share some random facts about myself here. If you want to learn more about my experience, you can always look at my content or my ... experience section.

🛫 in 2018 I wanted to start a marketing agency, I realized I didn't have enough money in the bank to do that in Belgium. So I took the 900 Euros I had in the bank, booked a one-way flight to Bulgaria, got an apartment there, and started my agency there. Ran it for a good 2,5 years before I sold it. 

🥋When I was 20 years old, I was obsessed with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so much so that I dropped out of college to sleep on the mats of a gym in Stockholm. I later used that experience to start my own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym that accumulated more than 100 members in less than seven months. 

🐈🐈‍⬛ I have two beautiful cats, so if you want to distract me during any meeting or conversation, feel free to mention them for a 17 min detour. 

While I don't think any of the above will make you see me as an expert in ABM, Demand Gen, and Go-to-market strategy, it paints a picture of who I am. 

That being said, I'm the third member of fullfunnel.io, which is the best consultancy for B2B marketing for companies with high ACV. We're second to none regarding go-to-market strategy, demand generation, and LinkedIn marketing. 

Together we have almost 40 years of experience and the case studies to back it up. 

So if you want to talk about BJJ, B2B marketing or my cats, please do hit me!
