If your pipeline feels inconsistent, there’s a good chance the real issue isn’t “more leads” — it’s ICP clarity.

In this episode of Predictable B2B Growth, I break down how I help founder-led B2B companies find their ICP using a simple, operator-friendly approach: start with a founder hypothesis, pull real evidence from customers and pipeline, translate patterns into 2–3 ICP pods, and validate everything through measured experiments and market signals.

We’ll cover:

  • Why ICP is a prediction (win rate, cycle time, pricing power), not a demographic description
  • How to extract the truth from founder insight, customer interviews, and real sales conversations
  • The missing pieces most teams skip: buying triggers, exclusion rules, and expansion logic
  • How to validate ICP without endless debating — and pivot when the market tells you you’re wrong

If you want to pressure-test whether ICP is actually your constraint (or if the leak is demand, alignment, RevOps, metrics, or scale readiness), grab the Predictable Pipeline Diagnostic — a quick self-assessment you can run in under 20 minutes.
