ABC Fitness Solutions
Joined ABC Fitness Solutions in January 2020 as the third member of the company’s first-ever corporate marketing function. My first year at ABC was spent leading crisis communication efforts and process to close and reopen over 8,000 clubs. Toward the end of 2020, assumed responsibility of holding 2x pipeline responsibility for a $5.5M booking target and growing the programs team to 5 people.
Recruited the Company’s First Programs Team
Recruited the company’s first world-class marketing team that pioneered new lead channels for ABC, leading them to hit 101% of pipeline targets and 166% of bookings target.
Kibo
Joined Kibo as the Senior Marketing Programs Manager to project manage execution of all programs and realunch a new website, all while establishing a demand generation plan to support an aggressive inorganic growth strategy.
Established Marketing Programs Reporting
An aligned marketing and sales department is critical – which prompted the establishment of two biweekly marketing program reporting meetings, including structure and format across two departments. Reporting format broke initiatives down in 30-, 60- and 90- day timeframes that aligned with the sales cycle to determine effectiveness of programs down the funnel. New reporting cadence resulted in 3 revised processes to improve marketing qualification and attribution in Salesforce, raising our MQL>SQL rate from 5% to 7%.
Structure and Process Reform
Nobody likes when the new person comes in and changes everything…unless it makes lives easier! After interviewing members of our 12-person marketing team, I came up with a new, standardize project management and ticketing process that translated into our reporting structure. This not only allowed us to tie individual tactics to results, but also allowed us to double our output, with less resources to accomplish a 175% and 115% increase in MQLs and SQLs, respectively, half over half.
BirdEye, Inc
Joined BirdEye, Inc. as the third member of the newly formed marketing team to lay the foundation for Demand Generation and grow a scalable, organic, non-paid lead engine that would prepare us for Series C funding.
Established Closed Loop Routing and Marketing Attribution
Created one intense visio, and spent hours manually routing leads until my cries of manual effort were heard! I presented a closed loop marketing and campaign attribution model to Director and VP levels that resulted in implementing routing improvements and campaign object utilization that captured over 1000 misrouted leads and 105 unattributed opportunities per month, on average (not to mention the 2 hours per day of manual routing saved).
Built and Grew Email as a Lead Source
Developed and executed on BirdEye’s first nurture email and webinar plan that generated over 400 opportunities, $1.5M in pipeline and $154K in closed won deals. With the established infrastructure in place, email as a lead source, grew to account for 18% of inbound leads while subsequently reducing the percent of paid leads from 62% to 35% in just 6 months.
