"Make it pretty."

If you lead marketing at a B2B SaaS company, you’ve probably said it or heard it at some point. Design often comes in after the strategy is set, the content is written, and the keywords are approved. 

But when design is just a final polish, you miss out on its real power. Design is a powerful revenue lever in B2B SaaS.

Great design should:

  • Support your sales team with sharp, high-converting assets

  • Accelerate deals through the pipeline

  • Reinforce your positioning at every touchpoint

Looking good is expected—delivering results is what sets great design apart.

If your creative isn’t aligned with your pipeline goals, you’re not just wasting budget, you’re leaving revenue on the table.

What role does design play in your revenue strategy?
