Deep in the heart of startup-land SF Bay Area, over the past 16 years I’ve helped more than 67 B2B companies drive growth and scale through marketing performance optimization of 3 key areas: Lead/Demand Generation, Technology/Process, and Reporting/Accountability.

The results are that my clients benefit from improved go-to-market effectiveness, deeper operational efficiency, a higher degree of transparency and accountability, and most importantly, accelerated revenue growth.

Demand Generation

An effective B2B go to market strategy requires a well-thought out approach for reaching your core target market, with an understanding of how to reliably influence, measure, and predict, intent. From conversion optimization, to content strategy, to focusing on the right channels for ROI, this is the place to start if your lead flow has been low.

Process & Technology

Simply put: marketing operations. Optimizing for process ensures that bottlenecks and poor lead follow up do not get in the way of maximizing your marketing ROI. While getting the most out of existing technologies helps create a culture of doers, and clears the way for you to focus on revenue generating marketing initiatives.

Reporting & Accountability

Strengthening the business’ understanding of how and where marketing is performing is critical for getting buy-in on items like budget, and go-to-market strategy. That means implementing lead lifecycle reporting, campaign and multi-touch attribution reporting, and establishing accountability metrics for individual performers in marketing and sales. You need this. Let’s talk!
