Lead quality got you down? Growth stalled? Can't get to the next level of revenue?

Let me guess (and stop me if this sounds familiar)...

Sales says Marketing is sending through junk leads that waste their time. Marketing says Sales can't close the leads they're sending.

You thought once you had the teams in place you'd be able to grow. But things just aren't scaling. And you don't have the bandwidth to try to identify where the friction and gaps are - nor how to fix them.

Here's where I can help.

I started my career in Marketing, I moved into Sales Enablement and Sales Ops. Then back to Marketing. But don't let the titles fool you.

Now, I help the two play nice. Together.

Here are some symptoms you may be experiencing internally that indicate your teams are misaligned:
* lead quality is low
* no lead segmentation
* scoring models do not exist
* inbound and outbound not worked well together
* playbooks and best practices do not exist
* internal team blame and pointing fingers
* disagreement on term definitions ("MQL" "SQL" "SQO")
* the “old way” of doing things is getting in the way
* legacy Marketing & Sales tools and systems have accumulated tech debt
* fast growth and M&As have led to disparate teams no longer on the same page
* process isn’t consistent
* documentation is nonexistent
* new LOBs / new markets are unobtainable
* inability to scale

As a RevOps specialist I help B2B companies spark growth with:
→ Sales + Marketing alignment
→ Inbound / Outbound motions integration
→ HubSpot / Salesforce optimization
→ ICP definition
→ Persona refinement
→ Scoring models
→ Lead routing
→ CRM optimization
→ Team training
→ Tech stack buildouts
→ Documentation and playbooks
→ KPIs and Dashboards

I work with companies $10M+ ARR to accelerate their revenue.

Some stats:
📉 Decreased Sales cycle by 80%
⬆️ 3X MQLs over previous period
⚙️ Improved MQL to SQL conversion by 14.3%
👋 Increased visits to website pages by 160%
💸 Drove $36K in top-line revenue via social media

HubSpot's default "unengaged" suppression cost my client $47K in lost deals.

Here's what happened:

🚨They were using HubSpot's graymail suppression (enabled by default). (Also, easy to toggle on for every email...and it stays on!)

It automatically excludes 2 groups of Contacts:
→ Contacts who've never opened an email and haven't opened the last 11
→ Contacts who've opened an email before, but haven't opened the last 16 emails

Sounds smart, right?

Except when I audited their Unengaged list, I found:

• 23 active customers (avg. $12K LTV)
• 49 contacts who registered for the latest event
• 31 contacts who visited /pricing page in the last 30 days
• 13 contacts who engaged via sales calls, not email

The problem with HubSpot's default criteria:

It only looks at email opens and clicks.

It ignores everything else:

• Seasonality in the business
• High-volume email sending to valid buyers who are just "tuned out" from Marketing emails
• Deliverability issues (emails landing in Promotions/Spam)
• Purchase history
• Event attendance
• Website activity
• Sales interactions

Is your business seasonal or cyclical? Maybe ignoring 11 emails in a row is normal when out of season. Doesn't mean that they're not legit buyers.

Is your Marketing email even landing in the Primary inbox? Maybe your contacts aren't even seeing it - so can't engage.

After 50+ HubSpot overhauls, I've seen this pattern repeatedly.

What to do instead:

1. Define what "Unengaged" means to your business.
2. Audit your "Unengaged" list for active customers and deals
3. Check website activity, and marketing and sales touchpoints
4. Build custom suppression using multiple signals
5. Use "Sends since last engagement" property with YOUR criteria
6. Factor in Apple MPP (it breaks open tracking)
7. Check email deliverability while you're at it (use GlockApps

Don't let HubSpot's defaults decide who's valuable.

Your CRM has better data than email clicks alone.

No alternative text description for this image

The first brand I ever worked on was in 1985:

It was my own.

I was just a small town kid, with a weird name (and hairdo to match)

I knew I was slightly different:

Awkward. Uncomfortable. And deeply unsure of who I was. 

So, I went through middle school trying to blend in to the background.

Silencing myself just to “belong” somewhere

But then realized:

Being “the same” as others doesn’t always bring people together.

So in highschool I decided to say no to the sea of sameness all around me.

No to conformity.

No to not standing out if it meant not being who I really was.

I turned up the Conan volume for the first time in my life.

And started sharing my opinions.

I let the hair run wild on my head.

And I stated my name, with zero apology.

But the cool thing?

On the other side of owning my differences, a better life was waiting.

I found a diverse set of friends who encouraged me to turn my creativity into a successful career in advertising. 

But none of these things would have happened if I hadn’t risked being me.

Which is why, since 1999, I’ve been helping brands find their true voice and then amplify it.

And it’s why I tell this story to you today:

At Conan and Venus & Company, we help you stand out in a sea of sameness.

We let your soul shine through in your marketing, with a unique message and perspective

We don’t just get you customers. We win you life-time fans. 

And take you from being just “a brand” to “the brand”. 

From “meh” to “magnificent”

Bringing you to the top of your market’s mind, no matter the medium or magnitude. 

So, if you’re a B2B service provider setting out for market dominance

I give you 2 options. 

Option 1:

Continue being just another samey. 

Blended into the background

And in a constant state of corporate anxiety. 

Or Option 2:

Say no to the sea of sameness you see all around you. 

And risk standing out, like I did.

Whichever you decide is your decision alone 

But on the other side of a message, Conan Venus & Company waits. 

Just DM “STANDOUT” to explore how we can help elevate your brand today.

So your success is secured for tomorrow.

- Conan Venus.
