Coming from sales positions where she’s carried quotas, Brandee Sanders knows what having skin in the game for marketers looks like.
And it’s not tracking MQLs or developing a strong tech stack.
It does look like examining the data to find repeatable opportunities for sales pipeline.
In other words, do we truly know how and why closed/won opportunities entered our orbit and what motivated them to take action to purchase?
According to Sanders, the disconnect is that “Most marketers just roll over in the morning and say, ‘Hey, I have a great idea for a campaign.’ They won't look back and say, retrospectively, ‘Is this at a target audience that we know is an ICP? Is this going to be the type of content that even performs for us? Are we going to do a video when, like, 99.9% of closed/won came through a webinar or a podcast?’”
As the new CMO of Revenue.io, Sanders immediately got entrenched in the data to find opportunities for repeatable processes that would fuel her roadmap to success.
