How much does B2B lead generation cost?
B2B lead generation costs typically range from $31, $134 per raw lead across paid social, search, and LinkedIn Ads in B2B tech. Qualified leads that convert to meetings cost significantly more, often $200, $500 per qualified lead for enterprise segments. A $150 lead that converts to pipeline beats a $50 lead that never qualifies, making conversion rate the real driver of cost per qualified meeting. Your fully loaded cost depends on target audience complexity, deal size, and whether you can test fast enough to improve performance across channels.
