BoomTown - Real Estate Platform

I’ve taken my nearly decade of outbound SaaS sales experience, consultation from top sales leaders and A/B testing to create an onboarding program at BoomTown from the ground up. This program evolves with each iteration based on lessons learned, new research and feedback from sales managers and our new hires.

Over almost 2 years at BoomTown, I’ve helped hire, train and coach 41 new sellers across our GTM team that have ramped 48% faster and sold 261% more in their first 6 months.

Zywave

As the Sales Communication Lead at Zywave, I managed and curated all internal communication with the sales team from product enhancements to success stories. 

I started an internal podcast interviewing leaders and wrote our internal newsletter called "The Wire".

Inside Sales Executive

For nearly five years, I have led B2B SaaS GTM teams in identifying and overcoming complex barriers to drive revenue growth and retention. My enthusiasm for empowering sellers with the necessary context, skills, and processes to provide an excellent buyer experience comes from my eight-year journey as a seller. 

Resume: https://resume.co/@mariabross?password=QisLacMyPilKab

My Sales Journey:
"Maria, you're just not cut out for Sales." 

I received this "encouraging" pep talk from an early manager alongside a PIP months after being promoted. After reviewing the PIP, I formally resigned. 

Within weeks, I landed another Account Executive role in a company that invested in the growth of its people. My new manager offered consistent coaching and helped me develop a plan working backward from my goals. 

I started to see incremental improvement. Shame turned to motivation, and I held myself accountable to:
 
executing on the daily work regardless of motivation
documenting everything 
seeking specific feedback and applying
analyzing results with data
course correcting 
freely sharing what I learn with peers 

I achieved President's Club and was awarded "Rep of the Quarter" as an Account Executive. While leading the Sales Development team at Revenue.io, my team increased Qualified Pipeline by 376%. I have demonstrated that I can achieve big sales goals independently, but I have also consistently improved the performance of the sales teams I support and manage directly. 

My career's purpose is to prepare GTM teams with the context, skills, and processes required to deliver the best client experience and exceed quota. 

Unrelated to Sales Interests:
Chasing my toddler around Folly Beach, SC (okay, some Sales is involved)
Hunting for shark teeth
Breaking powerlifting records
Making epic cornbread 
Cheering on the sales community

Same parents. Same home. Same blue 1989 Volvo. 

Different:
	•	What motivates us
	•	What stresses us 
	•	What we prioritize 

Siblings are as different as strangers. Despite being my bffs. ❤️❤️❤️

(40 years of credible research and The O'Dwyer sisters are evidence)

The humans within your buying teams are too. 

They have different motivations, objections and experience the challenge completely differently. 

Yet we spam the same messaging across an account and call it 'personalization'. 

No wonder more than 1/2 of deals end in no decision. 

Example: Three people evaluating CRM software...

💰one interacted with the ROI calculator (needs to justify budget) 

🧾one read through case studies (needs proof from peers) 

⚙️one downloads product specs (needs to understand technical lift)

Account-level ➡️ "company X is researching CRMs"

Contact-level ➡️ "Maria needs proof from peers. John's worried about integration. Lisa needs ROI."

Contact-level empowers reps to speak to what each human uniquely cares about, proactively address individual blockers and arrive at an educated decision. 

If your own siblings are this different, why would two VPs at the same company be the same? 

I'm all in on contact-level ABM. 🙌

Ps: anyone else nerd out over birth order  psychology 🤓!? Okay just me.

The Sour GTM SaaS Takes Podcast

Founder & Podcast Host

Ascent Conference

I handle all things production. My primary focus is on aligning our sales, customer success, product, and marketing teams so that we can host the best invite-only B2B SaaS events for the C-Suite. We throw in-person and virtual events, I make sure they run smoothly and that our sponsors get ROI.

Vice President of Audience Development & Partnerships

Responsible for my own pipeline. Prospecting is a key strength of mine. In 1 month I set 35 meetings, breaking the previous record by 5. I closed 6 deals within a 3 month span with no prior account executive experience. I used salesforce as my CRM, apollo as my sales engagement platform, and LinkedIn as my prospecting tool. I love closing deals in the most efficient way possible. Having a modern tech stack is a requirement these days.

Full Cycle Account Executive

As VP of Audience Development I am responsible for driving innovative, actionable and efficient digital marketing campaigns that build awareness and drive traffic to support the growth of our business -- content, subscriptions, and events.

From the ground up, I have built, hired, trained, and lead a high-performing team of digitally-savvy marketers to support the strategic goals of the business. 

I develop and manage paid and organic marketing programs (paid search, SEO, Facebook, display, among others) for all platforms and products. 

I evaluate, hire, and develop relationships with existing and new platforms, partners and vendors; review, recommend, and manage tools, services, and vendors. 

I manage email marketing initiatives for the company and develop/deliver regular and ongoing reports on program performance.

I report directly to our CEO and manage a team of 10. I enjoy the challenge of working with others towards a common goal. My team is everything to me. Without them, Ascent would be nothing more than a dream.

VP of Audience Development

I’m in charge of the audience development team. I make sure our events are packed with key decision makers from companies with $20-$500 million in ARR. When you come to an Ascent event you will leave with insights that are impactful and useful. Our events are limited to Directors, VPs, and C-Level executives. Interested in attending an event of ours? Reach out and I’ll have my team take care of you. We pride ourselves on being a white glove service.

Senior Digital Marketing & Business Development Manager

Responsible for planning, developing, implementing and managing the overall digital marketing strategy. 

In addition, I hire, manage, guide, and train digital marketers and other marketing positions in the team.

I lead by example. By constantly going outside my comfort zone to tackle unique goals, the team realizes you are never too good to not put the work in. 

My goal is to create and run digital campaigns that are organized, resilient, and impactful.

A company’s brand and image is everything.

Investor Summit has 100+ Micro/Small Cap companies present to investors each quarter, in hopes that these companies receive investments from smart investors who have experience growing micro/small cap companies.

Senior Digital Marketing Manager 

Astor Investment Management LLC

Research & Marketing Associate

Senior Intern/ Consultant to CEO

Junior Intern

School District U-46

Help run Bartlett High School men’s basketball camp since 2017. In 2019 I took a job at Astor Investment Management which led to me having a smaller role in the summer camp. I now dedicate my time to the camp for free and train highschool athletes on the side. I enjoy being a role model and an advocate for the phrase, “if you work hard things will work out in the end.” This position and experience transformed me into a better leader. From listens to my players personal problems to driving them home after practice, I learned players only buy Into the system as much as their coach/ boss does. My process is simple... I create a set of standards, I hold those standards up for all my players to meet, and hold myself to an even higher standard. For example, if I say you have to be at practice 15 minutes before it starts then I’ll make sure to be there 30 minutes ahead. You have to be vulnerable as a coach. You have to be sincere. Kids, especially teenagers, see through coaches that do not mean what they say. Every player is different and knowing how to push each player is essential to the teams overall success.

Digital Solutions & Sales Representative Intern

Community, Social Media & Events Expert | Host of The Sour GTM SaaS Takes Show

A seasoned professional in community development, strategic partnerships, and digital marketing, I excel in fostering engagement and driving growth.

Currently, I'm a Community, Events, & Social Media Manager at SalesIntel. My focus is on creating and executing unique community campaigns that drive brand awareness, brand loyalty, and revenue.

In my free time, I am a basketball coach and am the "cool" uncle. I live life everyday to the fullest.

Prior to SalesIntel, I was a VP of Audience Development at Ascent Conference. I orchestrated successful in-person and virtual events, which involved some of biggest names and companies in the SaaS industry.

Previously, as Director of Audience Development, I achieved a remarkable 20% decrease in audience churn rates due to throwing higher quality events. I placed a huge importance on building out a humanized attendee journey. 

In my role as Director of Sales, I managed a team 5 and sold along side them. Together, leveraged SaaS tools like SalesIntel, Apollo, Salesforce, Hubspot, Slack, Docusign, Canva, and more to surpass sales quotas.

As a Director of Sales & Marketing at Investor Summit Group, I helped startups find seed and series a money through hosting digital pitch events. 

On top of pitching to a room of credible investors, I would curate 5-10 meetings for them. The business went from breaking even to becoming profitable. Happy customers led to more happy customers and less churn. Quality over Quantity.
