Sweet Monkees

Sweet Monkees are delicious dairy-free cookies made with healthy ingredients, found at select Milwaukee area grocery stores and Milwaukee-area events. I built this business from the ground-up, marketing and successfully selling to over 10 grocery chains over 3 years. In 2014, I sold this business to focus on Accelity.

Owner

Zywave

I managed the marketing department at Zywave. As product marketers, we focused on go to market strategy and brand awareness. In addition, my team created joint sales and marketing communications and demo materials to speak to clients in a meaningful way. The marketing department also manages zywave.com content and Zywave's social media presence.

Head of Marketing

The Market Analyst is a marketing and product management role. I was the analyst on Zywave's best selling product—Broker Briefcase Benefits. In this role, I studied market developments and maintained an understanding of the constantly changing field. In addition, I conducted won, loss, exit, and other partner interviews to gain a deeper understanding of Zywave's broker clients. Another key piece of this role is analyzing product performance monthly to identify hot topics, product usage trends, and focus for content to reinforce product roadmap.

Market Analyst

I worked to brand Zywave as a premiere Milwaukee employer and expand local awareness. Presented at speaking engagements on local campuses, at job fairs, and other volunteer opportunities. I was part of a task force that pioneered Zywave's social media presence by writing vision documents, evaluating reporting tools, holding company-wide training sessions, and creating pages on Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin.

Recruiting Consultant

GE Healthcare

Worked in the cardiology department to expanded Computed Tomography marketing library by coordinating image layouts and text in customer brochures, Powerpoints, and other materials. In addition, I founded the Marketing Path program to enhance associates knowledge of the role of Marketing in Healthcare. My team led a business improvement project that concentrated on increasing Net Promoter Score in the cardiology department. Finally, I provided sales support for 14 Account Managers who exceeded an sales target of $56 million in 2008.

Sales & Marketing

Growing B2B software co's w/ marketing that *actually works* | founder + CEO @ Accelity | built from $0 to 7-figures with no funding

It all started in 1986 in Lansing, Michigan.

Kidding. (Well, not really, but that’s not how I’m going to start this story.)

I started my entrepreneurial journey with cookies. Really. A vegan cookie company… and I wasn’t vegan (I gave it a shot and dang, it was hard!). I turned four cookie recipes into a business—designing packaging, finding a kitchen and making the cookies, eventually outsourcing production, then selling and establishing distribution to 12 grocery stores around Wisconsin.

The cookies taught me how to hustle. As a 24-year-old MBA, I definitely didn’t picture myself hoisting up tents at farmers markets to hand out $5 bags of cookies, or being the demo lady at the grocery store, but there I was. I still had a full-time job running the marketing department at a SaaS company, and a baby.

I’m so grateful for that experience because the money I made helped me start Accelity. What began as a one-woman consultancy blossomed into a kick-ass team of 20 and counting and a group of amazing, loyal clients all over the US.

LinkedIn has been a HUGE contributor to our growth over the past few years. I got talked into—okay, almost forced; I really, really didn’t want to do it—publishing videos about my entrepreneurial experiences in mid-2018 and have steadily grown an audience since. The LinkedIn community has given me so much love and support and I could not possibly be more grateful for the opportunities.

Outside of my professional life, I was a foster parent for two years and two of my three beautiful kiddos were adopted in Milwaukee. People always ask about hobbies, so here you go: lots of travel, fitness, exploring Milwaukee, and playing a lot of Taco vs. Burrito with my kids.

We help B2B software companies grow faster with bold sales and marketing processes that actually work—not the “push content and say a prayer” method that many agencies use.

We’re different. An agency born from software, our team has years (and years) of hands-on experience working with high-growth B2B software companies.

💸Companies LOSE 20-30% in PROFITS from PROCESSES and no company can afford a LOSS like that during the RECESSION.💸

With PROFIT LOSS, the first instinct is to LAY OFF employees, but then current EMPLOYEES get OVERWORKED, which creates BAD EMPLOYEE MORALE and eventually a TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT.

💰However, by SAVING TIME, a company can GAIN a 5-6 figure PROFIT INCREASE, which IMPROVES EMPLOYEE MORALE and PRODUCTIVITY.  HAPPY EMPLOYEES WORK FASTER. 💰

So, have you noticed a PROFIT DECREASE even though you have MORE SALES?

💵 Then, it’s TIME to put BETTER PROCESSES in place, so that you can REDUCE PROFIT LOSS and SAVE MORE TIME while GAINING more PROFITS FASTER. 💵

🤝I work with mid to large sized COMPANIES who want to REGAIN PROFITS by SAVING TIME without GETTING new SALES. 🤝

🤝I also help small businesses owners with Strategic Planning with S.M.A.R.T. goals to achieve 6-figures. 🤝

🎤As a speaker and trainer, organizations hire me to inspire employees into increased productivity. 🎤 

😊I delight in delivering STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS for PROFIT GROWTH that SAVE your company TIME with BETTER PROCESSES. 

For 20 years in Corporate America, I SAVED over 50,000 hours of TIME for Fortune 500 companies with my INNOVATIVE ideas to make their PROCESSES better. With just a few minor adjustments to PROCESSES, these companies were able to REGAIN a 6-figure PROFIT LOSS.

It was then I realized, while LEADING and TRAINING teams to IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS to SAVE TIME IN PROCESSES, that I should take a more CONSULTATIVE approach not under the employee umbrella, where I could be FREE of MICROMANAGEMENT.

I saw the IMPORTANCE of HELPING a COMPANY bring in PROFITS through their own PROCESSES because that is where the money lies.

Wholeheartedly, I believe in the POWER of PROCESS for PROFITS. 

In addition, my own S.T.A.K. framework HELPS companies REGAIN 5-6 figures in PROFIT LOSS by SAVING them TIME.

However, as a Process Guru, it disturbs me all the PROFIT LOSS in PROCESSES with COMPANIES UNAWARE.

Hopefully, with AWARENESS of the PROBLEM of INEFFICIENT PROCESSES and RESEARCHING a SOLUTION to SAVE TIME, your COMPANY can BEAT the STATUS QUO and REGAIN PROFIT LOSSES.
