Marketing Operations people love complexity. I am guilty of it too. We build elaborate workflows, intricate scoring models, and automation that can do everything. But complexity for complexity’s sake is a trap. The fanciest operational program will not generate pipeline. It will not help your BDRs hit their numbers. It will not turn a struggling […]
Keeping up with Marketing Operations (MOPs) and Revenue Operations (RevOps) is like running on a treadmill that will not stop speeding up. New tech, new processes, new platforms—every day feels like a scramble to catch up. But here is the thing: you do not have to do it alone. There are people out there sharing […]
We always say that Marketing (usually our Digital team) provides “air cover” for our BDR outreach. What do we mean? Digital runs paid ads as well as organic social around specific topics and to specific audiences befor and during BDR outreach to that same audience.

Starting a new Marketing Operations role? Your tech stack might look shiny. But, if the data or systems are broken, you’re starting in a hole. Here’s a MOps checklist to run through: Data Health How clean is the database? (Deliverability rates, bounce rates, invalid records) What percentage of the database is actually engaged? How often […]
Marketing Operations isn’t for the faint of heart. One day, you’re fixing a Marketo-Salesforce sync issue; the next, you’re explaining (again) why attribution isn’t just “this lead came from LinkedIn.” It’s a constant balancing act between strategy, technology, data, and cross-functional collaboration. To stay ahead, you need resources that actually provide value—ones that go beyond […]
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received during my days as a full-cycle salesperson came from a couple of great minds in sales and marketing: Jeffrey Gitomer and Perry Marshall. Gitomer, in his book Little Red Book of Sales, shared a simple yet game-changing tip: Take your last 10 wins. Take your […]
The Cringe-Worthy Question Ask any Marketing Ops, Sales Ops, or Biz Ops person: “How clean is your data in your database?” This question often triggers a cringe. We all want clean data, and we set up our systems to achieve it. However, bad data is like bacteria—it’s everywhere. In this blog, I will share systems […]
Marketo Forms Marketo forms allow you to customize the journey of your users. First, you can choose what fields you are going to show. In the example below, I show how you can use hidden fields. On the right side you will see that form prefill is enabled for the Is Customer? field. This means […]
