Trevor van Woerden @ INFUSE

VP of Commercial Demand, North America

INFUSE

Director of Strategic Accounts & Campaign Architect

INFUSEmedia is a fully integrated, data-fueled, demand generation engine that offers a host

Senior Account Executive

Hotness Unleasher Studios

Founder

Accident Data Center

In this role, I handled all sales and marketing functions for this 3/4 person startup, and I loved this experience.

We sold to Personal Injury lawyers around the US, and I particularly enjoyed them as clients. 

- over 60 new Personal Injury law firm accounts closed
- over $750k  revenue generated

The goal of the company was to demonstrate the opportunity of topical curation against a geographic structure while developing the artificial intelligence technology to support it at scale. 

Unfortunately, the dev team couldn't pull off the AI, and Google stopped rewarding curation. The site died, and the company died with it.

Director of Sales and Marketing

Dex Media, Inc.

I really wanted to like this job, and there were parts of it that I really did enjoy. But the problem was that it was built on a print product that was in fast decline, and I was there near the end of it to mop up whatever I could under increasingly fearful managers. The company eventually went into bankruptcy and was reborn as Thryv, but my timing was just all wrong. 

7-14-14 - highest ranked DexMedia Marketing Consultant in Washington State YTD.

3-31-15 - highest ranked DexMedia Marketing Consultant for new/non+increase out of ~90 reps in the Northwest region.

Property & Casualty Specialist

Buyers are in charge of their purchase journeys in 2025, and GTM teams must adapt.

The old lead gen + SDR outbound playbook has struggled for an eternity because it doesn't offer value to buyers. Adapting tools and workflows to meet buyer needs and turn them into hand raisers will take commitment to developing your brand, to understanding real time ICP data, participating in relevant ecosystems, and equipping sellers with relevant messaging when buyers engage.

A few more things I like to say...

Creator Motion is what selling like a marketer means.  

Your LinkedIn audience isn't interested in what you sell, they're interested in how you go about selling it.

The final decision often doesn't get made until after you've made your final decision.

Process >>>>> Goals

achievement => confidence => ACHIEVEment => CONFidence => ACHIEVEMENT => CONFIDENCE

Persistently doing the wrong things will persistently yield undesirable outcomes.

There is no failure, only data.

Sales sourced opportunity mandates are bad.

On parenting: without quantity time, you'll have way less quality time.

ps - I also produce a livestream called "The Hotness Unleasher Show" - it has its own business page, but it's not a business. It's a passion project. The point of it is to 1)practice with a channel that is largely underutilized on LinkedIn 2)make friends 3)fight against LinkedIn stuffiness.

This really is my favorite role to date. The company affords me extraordinary latitude and autonomy to represent the company as I think best. I am encouraged to think creatively, solve problems, continuously learn, and take risks. 

My managers trust my intuition and experience to do the work competently. I'm never asked to do anything without the utmost integrity and fair dealing.  

I am accountable to outcomes, so the processes of working with clients, figuring out what they are trying to accomplish, coming up with ways to do it, and making sure it all goes smoothly are all rewarding.
