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B2B organizations need to stop thinking about the traditional and outdated (oversimplified, company-centric) sales funnel — it's time to rethink their entire GTM strategy and take a holistic approach to customer acquisition by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

Head of Marketing at Captivate Talent.

I'm helping people get jobs at high-growth SaaS companies in sales, marketing, and customer success. And helping them level up their career!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Navattic has signed 3x solo marketer Jay Desai to their marketing team.

Desai, known for building growth engines from the ground up, joins Navattic to help power all things growth - content, product, events, and beyond.

Navattic, the leader in interactive demo experiences, helps companies let their prospects get hands-on with their product earlier in the buying journey through no-code interactive demos.

Insiders say the addition of Desai brings even more creativity and firepower to Navattic’s already dynamic GTM team.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Why I decided to end my run as a solomarketer after almost 6 years - building and scaling from scratch across 3 different startups.

It’s been one of the most rewarding stretches of my career.

But as I thought about what’s next, there were 3 things I wanted in my next role - and ultimately why I joined Navattic 👇

1) A product I believe in
I wanted to spend my energy helping to bring a painkiller product to market. Something that solves a real, felt problem, not a “nice-to-have.”

Navattic fits that perfectly. Interactive demos are changing how companies show their products, and I’m genuinely excited to help more teams adopt them.

2) A great team to grow with
After years of flying solo, I was ready to work alongside talented marketers every day.

In just my first week, I’ve already learned so much from Natalie and Meredith - two of the smartest marketers I’ve met. I can already tell this will push me to grow faster, both personally and professionally. 

3) Leaders who care
Throughout the interview process, everything about Navattic’s leadership has been thoughtful, intentional, and people-first.

Big shoutout to Neil, Randy, and Chris for building a company where the team matters as much as the product.

It feels good to be back in a collaborative environment where everyone’s moving toward the same mission.

More soon on what I’ll be working on and how I’m thinking about growth here at Navattic 🚀

Stay tuned.
