SAN FRANCISCO – May 21, 2025 – Today at Piperfest ‘25, Qualified’s annual user conference, Qualified unveiled the industry’s first B2B Agentic Marketing Platform. With this new innovation, B2B marketers can harness the power of Agentic AI and employ Piper the AI SDR Agent to autonomously generate pipeline at scale. Alongside the announcement came new innovation to Piper the AI SDR Agent including Spotlight, an observation layer where marketers can see Piper’s dynamic reasoning and bespoke selling strategies for each unique buyer.

The Traditional Marketing Funnel is Costly and Inefficient 

For decades, B2B marketers have followed the same pipeline generation playbook. They spend time and money putting campaigns into market, and when buyers who meet their ideal customer profile demonstrate intent, they are deemed sales-ready. At this point, they are sent over to the Sales Development Rep (SDR) team to engage, qualify, and schedule sales meetings. The human-centric SDR model is flawed; the crux of the issue is cost, with the average SDR on target earnings netting out to $76,000 (Source: Blossom Street Ventures). For smaller companies, staffing these SDR teams costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and for bigger companies, it costs millions. The pain goes beyond cost, as the human SDR motion is riddled with challenges around capacity, speed, quality and tenure. 

Further up in the funnel, leads who are not sales-ready are dropped into marketing nurture, where they are sent down a path of templatized, one-size-fits all journeys, filled with pre-written emails and gated content.

“The process of engaging buyers–both sales-ready buyers with human SDRs and top of funnel buyers with nurture journeys–is costly, inefficient, and leaving pipeline on the table,” says Kraig Swensrud, CEO and Founder, Qualified. “In the age of Agentic AI, where companies can employ AI Agents to perform tasks and achieve desired business outcomes at massive scale, there has to be a better way to generate pipeline. Welcome to the Era of Agentic Marketing.”

Spotlight is fueled by rich insights:

  • Lead Context: Piper understands each lead–who they are, which role they hold, and where they are in the buying journey–informing tailored selling experiences 
  • Account Context: Piper understands key account data–their segment, buying committee, and level of intent–delivering an account-based sales motion; Piper rolls lead and account data into one unified view, helping her sell to the whole buyer versus separate leads and accounts
  • Behavior Monitoring: Piper the AI SDR Agent tracks how buyers are engaging across the website, email inbox, and online, and adjusts her strategy accordingly
