Sysdig is the leader in cloud security powered by runtime insights, protecting 700+ enterprises — including some of the largest financial institutions, government agencies, and technology companies in the world. Built on open source Falco (used by 60%+ of the Fortune 500), the company has raised over $350M in funding and runs a global go-to-market engine pushing 2,500+ raw leads per month through Marketo and Salesforce. They weren’t short on leads. They were drowning in them.

The Opportunity

The leads were coming in. The pipeline wasn’t keeping pace.

Sysdig’s demand gen team was hitting their numbers. 2,500+ leads per month from events, syndication, webinars, and inbound. But leads were dying between capture and action.

  • Event leads from Tokyo and Las Vegas sat in spreadsheets for days
  • Hot inbound leads queued up while ops manually screened and routed them
  • Email campaign replies with clear buying signals went unmonitored
  • Content syndication batches piled up while the next campaign was already launching

The numbers made the damage concrete: 15-minute average speed-to-lead on inbound — by the time reps called, the conversation was cold. 60% lead-to-account match rate — four out of ten leads went to the wrong rep or no rep at all. And a 1.21% lead-to-opportunity conversion across all those raw leads.

At $40K average deal size, every 1% of conversion rate left on the table represented ~$1M in monthly pipeline. They weren’t losing leads. They were losing revenue.

An AI pipeline manager that owns the full journey from raw lead to rep-ready opportunity

allGood’s AI Pipeline Manager, Mary, works inside your existing stack — Marketo, Salesforce, your enrichment tools — and owns the complete lead-to-pipeline workflow. Not a platform you operate. A dedicated AI team member that does the work, 24/7, with no throughput ceiling.

Intake from every source

Field events in Tokyo. Trade shows in Las Vegas. Content syndication lists. Webinars. Website forms. Mary ingested them all — no more leads aging in spreadsheets while ops catches up.

Cleaning, enrichment, and ICP screening

Junk leads, duplicates, competitors, students, existing customers — gone. Mary scrubbed every record, enriched survivors with firmographic data, and screened against Sysdig’s ICP criteria. Reps only saw pipeline-ready opportunities.

Account matching in Salesforce

Sysdig’s rules-based matching ran at 60% accuracy. Mary brought it to 68% by cross-referencing domain variations, parent-subsidiary relationships, and fuzzy company name matches. That 8-point jump meant 200 additional leads per month properly matched to accounts.

42-second routing to the right rep

From form submission to Salesforce assignment in 42 seconds. Fully enriched. Matched to the right account. 95% of inbound leads routed in under a minute — reps were calling leads that were still warm.

Same leads. Same budget. Nearly double the pipeline.

Sysdig didn’t generate a single new lead. They didn’t increase ad spend. They took the leads they were already paying for — and made sure those leads actually reached a rep who could work them.

Show me the math

$760K/mo — Conversion lift: lead-to-opp doubled from 1.21% to 2.47%, adding 19 SQLs/month
$200K/mo — Match rate improvement: 200 additional leads/month routed correctly
42s speed — Force multiplier: amplified both conversion and match rate gains

What changed for the team

Marketers stopped wrestling with list imports and started writing better emails and designing better landing pages — the work they were hired for.

Ops got back 15-20 hours a week, redirected to system architecture, attribution modeling, and tech stack optimization.

Reps stopped getting cold leads with missing context and started getting enriched, ICP-qualified opportunities within 42 seconds.

Sysdig’s effective pipeline-per-lead nearly doubled. Same 2,500 monthly leads. Same programs. Same budget. Roughly double the pipeline output. That’s a direct multiplier on every program in your portfolio.

Your demand gen budget is already spent

The question is how much of it is converting into pipeline — and how much is dying between capture and action.
