B2B Revenue Attribution | Cofounder at Dreamdata.io

I believe great marketing happens where data, intuition, and teamwork meet. Data shows what’s working. Intuition helps you take bold steps. And teamwork keeps it all together. Without it, everything falls apart.

Over the years, I’ve helped scale businesses and build marketing teams at companies like Upwork and Airtame - and now Dreamdata. 

Along the way (I think) I've learned a thing or two: 

Growth isn’t just about numbers. It’s about making smart decisions and balancing data with creativity. And no team succeeds unless the people on it are thriving.

Today, as co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Dreamdata, I'm passionate about helping B2B companies figure out what’s working and do more of it.

Why?

Because B2B customer journeys are... Complicated. They’re long, complex, and practically impossible to track without the right tools. 

Luckily, Dreamdata fixes this. In fact, I can proudly say the Dreamdata has become the tool I always needed in past B2B marketing roles. But we're not done yet.

We give you a clear view of your go-to-market efforts. You can see every touchpoint, prove ROI, and know what drives revenue. 

However that's not all. We also help you act on it. Build audiences, automate campaigns, identify buying signals with AI and focus your efforts on what works.

Great decisions aren’t about guesswork. They’re about knowing what works and having the confidence to act. 

That’s what Dreamdata helps you do. 

And it’s what I’ve spent my career helping marketers figure out.

I wish someone had told me this in my first year of sales:

(It would’ve saved me a lot of stress and a few bad habits. )

1. Don’t take it so seriously.

Sales isn’t life or death. The pressure can be intense, but remember to breathe and keep perspective. At the end of the day, it’s just a job.


2. Show up to help, not just sell.

Sometimes the best move is to qualify out or even recommend a competitor. The trust you build with honesty will pay off later. Often in ways you can’t predict.


A seller I coach asked me about this recently.
It reminded me that the lessons you learn early shape how you sell for life.

If you could go back to year one, what would you tell yourself?

Driving GTM Excellence for Sellers, Leaders & Founders.

Chasing big goals isn’t supposed to feel great all the time.

At yesterday’s EliteGTM exec session with Luca Lazzaron on Scaling Culture Without Losing Control, one insight stood out:

The rule of thirds for performance:
- A third of the time, you’ll feel great.
- A third, just okay.
- And a third, absolutely terrible.

That last part doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re in the middle of something hard.

Most people panic in that tough third.
They second-guess, look for shortcuts, or quit too soon.

But if you expect the ups and downs, you don’t overreact.
You keep going.

And when you’re leading teams, the same rule applies.
Your job is to normalize the tough third. Not fix it.

A coach helps you see where you are in that cycle, and how to move forward when it feels rough.

Who helps you push through your tough thirds?

Most deal reviews stay internal.
Next week, EliteGTM is breaking that rule.

They’re launching the first Global Deal Review Hour where sellers bring real deal challenges to a global community of 600+ tenured GTM leaders.

In one hour:
- Stalled deals move.
- Dead deals revive.
- Sellers level up.

No deep dives or customer names.
Just quick, actionable reviews.

And for this first session, it’s free.

Want to join? Comment or drop me a note.

The best sellers don’t sound like sellers.

They sound like:
- Experts
- Problem solvers
- Someone worth trusting

That comes from unselling.
Leaning back instead of pushing to close.

My instinct was always to listen first.
To diagnose. To give real advice.
Not pitch. Not push.

But some orgs still ran the old playbook:
- “Overcome objections.”
- “Control the call.”
- “Push the close.”

So I forced it. And it killed my edge.

The moment I stopped trying to sound like a seller, and went back to sounding like myself, my numbers took off again.

3 ways you can start unselling today:


1. Don’t rush the close. Test urgency.

→ “Why not wait until next quarter?”

Their answer tells you everything.


2. Challenge the status quo.

→ “What’s working well today? Why even change?”

Uncover a critical reason to act now.


3. Invite criticism.

→ “If any part of this doesn’t fit how you work, tell me.”

Honesty builds trust faster than pitching ever will.


Unselling isn’t passive. It’s powerful.

Because when you create space, buyers lean in.

Or you can qualify out.

3 ways you can start unselling today:

Most sellers answer too fast.

“Do you offer discounts?”
→ “Of course!”

“Can you integrate with X?”
→ “Yes, we can!”

“How are you different from X?”
→ “Our USP is…”

You think you’re being helpful.
But when you jump to answer, you miss an opportunity.

Before you respond, find out why they’re asking:

“Do you offer discounts?”
→ “Happy to explore. What’s driving that question?”

“Can you integrate with X?”
→ “It depends. How are you planning to use it?”

“How are you different from X?”
→ “Good question. What outcome are you looking for?”

That’s how you get closer to the truth.
And often, it changes your answer completely.

From top performer to novice manager to trusted leader:

Early in my career I had a sprinter’s mindset. I was motivated to get ahead by outworking others and having an impact autonomously.

This made me super successful as an IC.

But in my first leadership role, it was obvious that this approach didn’t work.

The problem? My sprinter’s mindset left little room for others to learn or grow.

Later I learned to make a major mindset shift.

Instead of operating as a sprinter, I thought of myself as a long distance coach.

I needed to be able to pace myself so I could have sustained impact over a long time, empowering my team to do the same.

Here are 3 ways you can start making that shift:

(I’m still working on 3)

1. Go slow to go far
Don’t just sell your vision, enroll your team and bring them along for the ride. 

Start with why.
Delegate with context.
Ensure everyone’s on board. 

You may need to move a bit slower, but it will help you go further.


2. Set a sustainable pace

Enable your team to do their work at a sustainable pace.

They will take cues from you: when you send emails, how you balance your work/life, and how you delegate during PTO.

If you want a peak performing team, make room for rest and recovery.


3. Ask questions instead of giving answers

This is a big shift if you used to thrive as an IC by quickly solving problems autonomously.

As a leader, your role isn’t to give answers.
It’s to help your team figure it out.

Partner to discover solutions instead of giving directives.
Prompt them to think critically and your team will build confidence and have even more impact.


What mindset shift has had the biggest impact on your career?

I've never met a top 1% sales rep who doesn't prospect religiously.

I mean the very best. The ones at the top every quarter.

You're never too senior to build your own pipeline.

Here's why:

1) Ownership and control

Taking charge of prospecting gives you full pipeline control. You can quickly adapt, seize opportunities, and build stronger client relationships.


2) Unpredictable changes

BDRs/SDRs might get promoted or leave, creating pipeline gaps if you rely solely on them.


3) Consistent pipeline

Consistent prospecting ensures a steady flow of deals, reducing the risk of pipeline gaps from market changes or slow inbound leads.


4) Skill development

Regular prospecting hones your skills, keeps you sharp, and aligns you with market dynamics and customer needs.


5) Inbound flow

Inbound leads might go to someone else. Also, outbound deals are typically 4x larger, as you shape requirements rather than just fulfill requirements.


Top performers know prospecting is a mindset.

Stay proactive. Stay at the top.


How do you invest in your pipeline?

Why you're never too senior to build your own pipeline:

Delayed rewards are often the most meaningful ones.

Because the best work pays off on its own timeline, not yours.

A month after running my half marathon, the medal and shirt finally arrived.

A good reminder: important stuff rarely pays off instantly.

Not in sales.
Not in your habits.
Not in anything that matters.

You put in the work now.
You collect the payoff later.

And some fights demand that mindset even more.

Ukraine’s fight isn’t about quick wins.
It’s about staying committed long after the world stops paying attention.

Because the best results rarely come fast.

In business. In life.
And in the fight for freedom.
