The results? We established credibility and market traction for the company in the industry.

For a Fortune 300 company, my challenge, once a major acquisition closed, was to generate more qualified leads and show that “marketing” can add value to the organization at the corporate and field level. I strengthened our value proposition and key messages, created a multi-phased demand generation and a new sales pursuit program. This included telemarketing and e- and web marketing. The new sales response process aligned sales, operations and other company SME’s in responding to RFPs. I also developed KPIs to track “marketing’s” value.

The results? A growth rate that was 5X the industry growth rate tied, in part, to marketing.
