Opinion Columnist

Paige Technologies

I have partnered with Paige technologies because of this paragraph on their corporate page: 
"We, at Paige, grew restless with a one-dimensional 'commodity' staffing approach - where success was defined by a number of skill matches. We knew there had to be a better way. We knew success was more than the match of a job to a skill - people have a lot more to give and companies deserve the whole person. We wanted to go beyond the match. We wanted to pair a person with an organization based on 'dimensional compatibility' - the skill, the values, the work habits, and the personality."

Many people have found themselves in the position of needing work. Paige focuses on the relationship side of the business and together, it will be our mission to fill every position in Kansas City, while providing value to every candidate we have the opportunity to meet. 

If you are looking for a job in the technology industry or maybe looking at some point connect with one of our industry experts today!

Engineering Planner Senior

In today's fiercely competitive landscape, driving growth requires innovative approaches. One such approach is sales and marketing integration through automation. 

If you’ve ever worked in either sales or marketing roles, you may have witnessed how stark the disconnect between these two disciplines can be. That’s why I’m passionate about changing that dynamic through cutting-edge sales and marketing automation. 

With a background as a certified Six Sigma Black Belt, Professional Scrum Master, and Digital Transformation enabler, this arena is my cup of tea. I specialize in revenue-generating automated solutions, CRM optimization, and deployment strategies.

If you fall into one of the following buckets…

1)	Sales and marketing efforts are disjointed, causing wasted effort and frustration…
2)	Have CRM functionality you’re not using that would be beneficial to put into service…
3)	Want to scale your sales and marketing efforts but don’t want to add additional staff to do so…
4)	Need a new CRM, but you need expert assistance in choosing and deploying one…

Then I'd love to hear from you! You can schedule a time here: https://crmapi.workestrate.net/widget/bookings/kathys-15-min-phone-crm-strategy
