How Do You Integrate Advocacy into Revenue Marketing Playbooks?
Make customer proof a first-class input to every motion in RM6™. Instrument outcomes, package evidence by role, and route peer validation inside your acquisition, expansion, and retention plays—so advocacy compounds pipeline, velocity, and NRR.
Integrate advocacy by (1) capturing first-proof outcomes early in onboarding, (2) packaging role-based evidence (ROI one-pagers, win cards, 60-sec clips), and (3) triggering evidence in playbooks—discovery, business case, security review, and executive alignment. Govern usage with RM6™ so customer proof is measured, refreshed, and mapped to stages and KPIs.
