Research Report

The State of B2B Pipeline. 2026 Edition.

Data from 10,000+ meetings, 50+ clients, and 15 countries. What's working, what's not, and where B2B pipeline is heading.

The headline numbers.

Four data points that should change how you think about B2B pipeline in 2026.

90%+

Meeting attendance when demand gen runs before outbound. The industry average for cold outbound alone is under 60%.

3.4%

Average cold email reply rate across all campaigns. Top performers hit 5.5%. The difference is ICP clarity and messaging, not volume.

75%

Of buyers complete their evaluation before talking to a vendor. If your brand is not part of that evaluation, you are starting every conversation behind.

30-40%

Higher response rates for companies that run brand + demand + outbound together. The system compounds. Individual channels do not.
