Engagement models

Three structures cover almost every engagement. We’ll say so if none make commercial sense yet.

[See the three models](#models)

Commercial paths

**Activity**Monthly fixed retainer

**Shared risk**Hybrid, most clients start here

**Outcomes**Qualified meetings package

Where most engagements land

## Three ways to buy pipeline.

### Monthly fixed retainer

Predictable cost and steady activity.

- Fixed monthly fee, agreed volumes

- Email, LinkedIn, phone

- Weekly reporting

- Best when building a market from scratch

Most clients start here

### Hybrid, retainer + performance

Baseline coverage with aligned upside.

- Lower base than full retainer

- Performance on qualified meetings or SQLs

- Shared risk

- Reviewed each quarter

### Qualified meetings package

Buy outcomes, not effort.

- Agreed qualified meetings per month

- Criteria written down first

- No-shows replaced in-cycle

- Best when ICP and offer are proven
