The Detection Gap: MQL Generation Under-Performance

GTM drift is the silent killer of growth.

One clear example is MQL generation underperformance.

In this case, the target was 1,500 MQLs, but only 1,200 were achieved.

That 20% shortfall translates to:

❌ 300 missing leads

📉 8 lost deals

💸 $400K in annual revenue

⏰ Late detection means the shortfall only becomes apparent through missed pipeline and failed forecasts. By then, the revenue is already locked out.

✅ Early detection changes the outcome:

🎯 Adjusting campaigns

🔎 Refining scoring

These shifts can recover about half the gap—roughly $200K preserved.

This drift occurs at the top of the funnel. The key question is whether you detect it early enough to save the revenue.
