5 years ago to the day I left a cushy marketing job at Adobe to start Inflection.io

We're in my favorite phase of marketing, which is the 1 - 10 journey.

We've done a lot in the last 5 years and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish in the next 5. 

I'm very appreciate of great customers and champions in folks like Jocelyn Brown M.H. Lines Adam Schoenfeld Adam New-Waterson Kristen Malkovich Katie Peters Paul Wilson 🤫 Andy Mowat Sangram Vajre Ronnie Duke Kris Rudeegraap Osman Sheikhnureldin and early supporters of our conference like 🔮 Sandy Mangat Tido Carriero Eric Keating Ramli John ⭐️ great partners like Mike Rizzo Lauren Aquilino 💕 Sydney Mulligan ☕️ Courtney McAra 🤠 and honestly hundreds more people.

Thanks to everyone who has been a supporter and cheering us on, it means a lot!

Automatic "no hire" for me that surprisingly weeds out more than 1/2 of applications for my BDR role

1. No picture on LinkedIn profile

2. Emails littered with typos 

3. Fails to follow a simple instruction (please book time with me using this Calendly link)

4. They book time 2 weeks out

5. Won't turn on camera even after I ask them to do so 

Great way to weed out people honestly

On flip side, here are things I don't care about that a lot of other hiring managers do care about

1. Asking about salary on first call (totally fine)

2. Didn't graduate from college or maybe never went to college (totally fine)

We finally cracked outbound at scale for Inflection because of AI-based personalization

We're now booking more meetings per month WITHOUT BDRs than when we had 2 BDRs

Here's how we do it:

"Week in review" emails are a popular Inflection use case

Clay does a great job with theirs

Lots of other customers too

So we used AI to scan our prospects websites.

Download their logo, grab their brand colors, analyze their website for how someone might use their product

Then AI generates a sample "week in review" email for their company.

Account-based marketing at scale, finally

8 hours to setup the AI

1 hour to generates 1000s of account-specific "week in review" emails

Less than $10 in AI credits

Amazing

Inspired by Chili Piper's outreach which is the best outbound email outreach I ever received

I just spent $20K on swag b/c my CEO was using swag from our #1 competitor 

and so was a CSM and our Head of Success 🤦

Something like 7 years ago Marketo gave out REALLY nice backpacks

Our CEO and Head of Success were working at Marketo at the time, so got the backpack and the CSM was working in marketing operations and was a Marketo customer, so got one too.

It was so nice that they all hung on to it.

Even after we launched a Marketo competitor...

Even after we've moved companies from Marketo to Inflection...

They would even bring it to Inflection events 😢

Enough, I said! ha

We've finally bought some Inflection.io swag and I just had to get the nice backpack to finally replace the Marketo one

Starting your career in marketing operations is such a cheat code. Opens up so many paths...

Just at Inflection we’ve seen

MOPs → Product Sushrut S.
MOPs → Success Alicia Wilson 

I'm also trying to hire a BDR who is formerly MOPs

What is unique about marketing ops is you obsess over people, process, and have an efficiency improvement discipline across the entire marketing org. 

Plus, MOPs are some of the most "on it" people I've ever met.

Fight robots, fight!

I have a new hobby with my kids... combat robots! 

Specifically the 3lb weight class.

We are now competing at NHRL, a international level competition (last month had folks from 9 countries!), and it's been a blast. 

We're having fun together and learning a lot about engineering, design, continuous improvement improvement.

I have also been teaching them marketing. They helped pick the name, branding, a theme for us (we throw out candy to pump up the crowd to get a 'home field advantage') etc.

Thanks to everyone who came to our session at EvolveDigital + EvolveDrupal Summits in NY today!

This is THE most impressive marketing automation demo I have ever seen

And really captures how Inflection is an AI-native marketing platform

In this demo, Aaron draws out a journey, uploads the photo to Inflection with a prompt, and Inflection builds out a draft

Kudos to Mustafa Khan, Bruno Estrella, Karishma Rajaratnam, Osman S., Tong-Tong Li and the Clay team on crossing $100M ARR!

It was an honor having the Clay team a sponsor of Demand & Expand this year.

Their booth was more of a lounge than booth and it was AWESOME. Mustafa and Tong-Tong Li inspired me make more formal changes to Demand & Expand sponsorships for 2026 to let sponsors bring their own personality to the event. Long live brand!

The Call for Speakers for Demand & Expand is now open! (The largest B2B marketing conf in SF). 

We have 4 tracks this year:

Demand - demand generation
Expand - customer marketing & expansion marketing
GTM Ops - marketing ops
PLGTM - product-led marketing

Talks featuring creative uses of AI are HIGHLY encouraged and GREATLY increase chances of being selected.

We're seeing fundamental shifts in martech user experience

From rule based workflows to agent-based chats

It used to require specialized teams of people with certifications to draft a campaign in marketing automation

Now anyone with a login can create a great first stab

Campaign ops teams are being upended from creators to reviewers

Also campaigns that used to take weeks of back and forth between many people is being compressed to just a few minutes of prompts now that the campaign owner can build a draft

Thanks everyone who came to our AI marketing event yesterday!

I was great hear the stories on how everyone is using AI for impactful marketing work.

Thanks Shari Johnston Aaron Bird for speaking and hope to see you all in May at the Demand & Expand confernece!

See you at D&E in May!

New! Inflection now has folders

Folders are near and dear to many marketing professionals and this was one of our most requested features.

Folders are not about categorizing emails or lists or journeys. It's about categorizing emails and lists and journeys. 

For example, you might have a Prospect folder with the marketing database list with the prospect template with all the prospect journeys like nurturing and separate folder for customer communications.

Much more to come here, but excited to see this one ship!

"Chat with your data" is a ubiquitous use case for MCP servers.

Reporting on a single campaigns isn't too hard, but:

Reporting on trends is much harder. eg how has webinar performance changed over time

or even harder...

analyze campaigns over time and developing recommendations on how to change performance

Someone could literally spend a week full time analyzing hundreds of campaigns and developing some improvement recommendations.

Inflection's new AI capabilities can do it in a matter of minutes.

What marketing events are you going to in 2026? Here are the ones on my radar! https://lnkd.in/eSXdchyA

Inflection is helping customers democratize marketing campaign creation 

Before Inflection, customers often have a campaign ops function that centralizes Marketo program creation

Unfortunately this leads to lots of back and forth between the campaign owner and the campaign creator with clarifying questions etc

Now with our new agentic capabilities, campaign owners (demand gen, field marketing, etc) can have campaigns drafted from Slack. 

They can then review the output and make changes themselves via prompts.

Once they feel good about a campaign, THEN it goes to campaign ops for review.

Way more efficient process.

I am an Event Marketing Manager at Inflection.io, where I plan and execute engaging and impactful events that showcase our B2B marketing automation solution for product-led companies. I work with cross-functional teams, vendors, and clients to deliver flawless event logistics, budget management, and promotion strategies. I also leverage my event coordination skills to generate and nurture leads, enhance customer retention, and increase revenue.

My passion for event marketing stems from my MBA degree in Marketing and Human Resources from Ramaiah Institute Of Management (MSRIM), where I honed my creative, analytical, and communication skills. I also have a BBA degree from University of Calcutta, where I developed a strong foundation in business administration and management. Prior to joining Inflection.io, I was a Sales Manager at CAST, where I successfully penetrated new markets, prospected and closed value sales, and built long-term customer relationships using Salesforce.com and other tools.

I am motivated by the opportunity to add value to my customers and to grow professionally and personally. I am always eager to learn new trends, technologies, and best practices in event marketing and B2B sales. I am also humbled by the quality of people that I interact with and collaborate with on a daily basis.
