For life sciences, complex B2B, and professional services businesses where marketing is running but pipeline isn’t following.
Chartered Marketer (CIM) · 10+ years building pipeline.
Most businesses with inconsistent pipeline have the same underlying issue: demand generation, positioning and execution are disconnected. Each part operates independently, and none of it adds up to predictable growth.
Activity that doesn't build pipeline. MQL targets that sales don't trust. Campaigns that look busy but can't demonstrate commercial impact. Marketing producing output, not outcomes.
The result: marketing and sales measuring different things and blaming each other for the gap.
Messaging built around what the business does, not what the buyer cares about. No clear ICP. No defined value proposition for each buying stage. Generic claims that sound like every competitor.
The result: long sales cycles with no clear reason to choose you over the alternative.
Tactics executed without a strategy connecting them to revenue. Content for content's sake. Events without follow-through. Digital spend without attribution back to pipeline.
The result: a business that's active but not growing the way it should.
A solicitor’s buying journey and a lab equipment purchase aren’t scored the same way. The diagnostic categories are built around how your specific type of buyer actually decides — not a generic checklist applied to everyone.
Same rigour every time. Same Chartered Marketer review. Categories that actually reflect how your buyers decide.

You could. Here’s the actual difference between a prompt and a framework.
AI does the first pass. A Chartered Marketer decides what the score actually means for your business. The same accountability behind everything Zero6 delivers.
The difference between demand generation that builds pipeline and marketing that generates activity is usually one thing: whether the messaging is built around how your buyers actually think, or around how you want to describe yourself.
Before any work starts, I run a structured intake session called The Voice Brief. It captures how your commercial team thinks about the market — the language your best clients use when they first get in touch, the beliefs your team holds about the buying journey, the phrases that would never appear in a serious conversation with a real buyer.
Every ICP framework, every positioning brief, every campaign and every piece of sales enablement is built against that brief.
Generic brief. Voice Brief. Same market. Different pipeline.
Target audience: procurement managers and laboratory directors in mid-to-large pharmaceutical and clinical research organisations across EMEA who are responsible for sourcing diagnostic solutions.
Key pain points: need for reliable, cost-effective diagnostic tools that meet regulatory standards. Decision criteria include product performance, compliance, vendor reliability and total cost of ownership.
Recommended channels: LinkedIn, email campaigns, trade publications, conference presence.
The buying conversation starts in one of three places: a failed audit, an IVDR compliance deadline, or a new lab director in their first 90 days. Two of those are time-bounded and externally visible. The third is detectable on LinkedIn within 48 hours of the appointment.
The procurement lead signs the contract. The lab director blocks it. Neither responds to “reliable, cost-effective diagnostic tools.” The procurement lead wants a vendor who won’t create a compliance problem. The lab director wants to validate the decision scientifically, not commercially.
Marketing that works addresses both blockers before the first sales conversation, not after.

Copy-paste AI responses to Google reviews are now more common than human-written ones — and it shows. Here’s why specificity in your reply matters more than speed.
The real job of a buying committee isn’t to find the best solution. It’s to protect each member from making a decision they’ll be held accountable for.
A single MQL almost never converts in life sciences. Here’s why the standard MQL definition breaks down when procurement involves multiple stakeholders across a committee.
