I share tips & stories about job hunting, leadership, and marketing yourself | Demand Gen @ Aion | Creator of This Could've Been an Email

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional operations, and speaker scouting. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub — which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature.

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals &amp; entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want.

The tl;dr:
↳ Bestselling author of The Unapologetic Professional
↳ Keynote speaker, advisor, and marketer
↳ Helping people rethink work without burning it all down
↳ Host of Stop the Scroll, co-creator of Let Her Cook 🌮👀 

As seen in/at: HubSpot, Harvard, Fast Company, Stanford, CNBC, American Marketing Association, and more.

Outside of work: Big fan of tattoos, cookie-scented candles, and the Oxford comma.

Founder & CEO @ Verbatim | In my influencer marketing era and you should be too | Bestselling Author, The Unapologetic Professional

The world feels so heavy. And the calendar still says "10am team sync."

There's something v dystopian about being expected to treat work as business-as-usual while being handed headlines that knock the wind out of us. 🫠

Work doesn't stop. And for many of us, it helps. It gives me structure, something to focus on, and a sense of purpose. And I care deeply about my work, clients, and team. But expecting people to fully detach from everything else they're navigating is the part that feels outdated.

We're living through a different work reality than our parents and grandparents. The information hit differently. You weren't watching a crisis unfold in real time on your phone between Slack messages. The boundary between "life" and "work" barely exists anymore, but for some reason we're still pretending it does.

As I build my business this year, I'm thinking less about optimizing output and more about how to lead in this constant state of in-between, where people are capable, committed, and still very human. 🫶🏽

If you ask me, the future of work isn't about learning how to compartmentalize 24/7. It's learning how to do meaningful work without asking people to leave half of themselves at the door.

How your email is finding me after a weekend of being glued to the news (again), hearing about a certain social media management platform, and realizing it’s still January.

P.S. Abolish ICE.

Sales, Marketing, CS, & Leadership Recruiting | Blueprint Expansion aka gtmrecruiter.com

We help early and mid-stage companies recruit exceptional go-to-market talent (that others often miss).

These articles cover my thinking on various topics
https://www.linkedin.com/in/cbrotman/recent-activity/posts/

Here are six core beliefs:

1. We need to do a better job at promoting career opportunities for underrepresented groups in the broadest possible sense.  DEI professionals often get this wrong.  We need to change the way we source, engage, and onboard talent from all walks of life.  If we do so, companies will perform better.

2. Cronyism is a problem in tech hiring.  We need to get more comfortable hiring strangers and getting outside our personal networks.  

3. If you hire "from the gut," you may not have a hiring process. Without a process, you cannot scale.

4. It's not a virtue to "fire fast" - and it's never been a virtue.  Companies need to do a better job at on-boarding their new hires.

5. Personal branding evangelism has pyramid-scheme like features.  Worrying about your personal brand before you develop key skills is putting the cart before the horse. 

6. Be wary of remote work evangelism. It may be creating the conditions for the outsourcing of everything.  Sitting on video calls all day is dystopian.  I like remote work, but it's had an adverse impact on our communities, mental health and talent skills development. It's a very complicated topic.

Hiring alert - 

We're recruiting sales talent for a few startup and scale-up clients over the coming weeks (roles will be posted soon, some later this quarter).  We can accelerate conversations in many cases with HMs now

-> Location: Preference for ET (especially NYC) or CT, but open to strong performers across the U.S.
-> OTEs: range from 150 - 220k

What we generally want to see:

1. Carried a new business quota in SaaS, AI, or tech-enabled services
2. Stayed long enough to see MULTIPLE quota cycles through at one or two recent companies (not judging hops - but your career needs clear indications you've seen the finish line multiple times in one business)
3. Consistently exceeded targets, OR
4. Outperformed peers in stack rankings (if quota was significantly over-assigned)
5. Coachability, accountability, clear communication skills, curiosity, and hunger for growth

If this sounds like you or someone in your network open to new roles, please consider reaching out!
