Management/Sales Training Program

Hi there!  👋 

As an experienced revenue marketing leader, I’m committed to helping B2B marketing leaders running Hybrid and Sales-led GTM motions at Series B SaaS companies increase qualified opportunities, develop sustainable marketing-generated pipeline, and hit revenue targets while spending less and listening more to customers.


The formula for B2B SaaS success:

🤝 People ➕ 📱Product ➕  ⚙️ Process 🟰 Efficient Growth 📈

What are you going to do about revenue?

Revenue Marketing's answer: 

1️⃣ Efficiently create and capture demand to deliver sales qualified leads to the sales team (low CAC Payback Period, LTV:CAC, etc.) 🎯

2️⃣ Accelerate qualified sales opportunities through the sales pipeline 📈

3️⃣ Design a resilient system to measure marketing based on repeatable, predictable, and scalable contribution to pipeline, revenue, and ROI ⚙️ (not MQLs) 

4️⃣ Transform marketing from a cost center to a PROFIT CENTER 💰

What motivates me? 

🟢 Help organizations transform their marketing department from a cost center to a revenue center by improving operational efficiency, identifying growth levers, and reducing customer acquisition costs.  

🟢 Help bring products and organizations to life by building meaningful connections and trust with humans — find out what they want/need by conducting VoC/market research and analyzing market feedback.

🟢 Help high-performing revenue-focused marketing teams get the respect they deserve as most companies view their marketing department as a cost center rather than a revenue center. 

What gets me up each day? 

As an Agile revenue marketing leader, I'm focused on building a repeatable, predictable, and scalable customer-first Revenue Marketing practice. 

Why it matters? 

B2B organizations need to stop thinking about the traditional and outdated (oversimplified, company-centric) sales funnel — it's time to rethink their entire GTM strategy and take a holistic approach to customer acquisition by adopting a new customer acquisition model that puts the customer and audience first. 

It's time to ditch the siloed thinking of the past and rally around one common organizational goal — 
increasing REVENUE. 

The Three Pillars:

1️⃣ Revenue Marketing (Strategy)

2️⃣ Operational Efficiency (Agile Marketing)

3️⃣ Insights Factory (Marketing Operations) 

Marketing's role has changed, and B2B SaaS companies now expect marketing teams to own a revenue number.  

Let's GO!
