Four companies. Four inflection points. One framework.

Built

Five brands from a legacy of acquisitions were bleeding budget and diluting market presence. We consolidated to two focused identities, rebuilt the demand engine using LTV:CAC ratios instead of cost-per-acquisition, and during that rebuild discovered a new vertical through a data anomaly that basic metrics would have missed entirely.

SQLs grew 24% to 4,500/month. CAC dropped 18%. The new vertical became 12% of revenue.

Built

With no healthcare presence, no relationships, and a sales team that had never sold to this buyer, we built the full GTM in 90 days — segment-specific positioning anchored in compliance pain, a multi-channel ABM campaign, and a launch event designed to compress months of discovery into a single day. The sales team arrived to a full pipeline.

125 qualified opportunities on launch day. 3x the quarterly goal.

Built

Feature-focused selling had extended sales cycles to 6–24 months and made it impossible to compete as Salesforce and Microsoft entered the space. We stopped saying “no one does what we do” and started saying “the world’s event software” — a claim their customer roster could actually prove. The founding family moved from skeptics to champions.

Lead opportunity value tripled. Global growth hit 21%. The company was acquired.

Built

The customer roster was the proof engine — it just wasn’t running. We built a co-marketing program that turned iconic venue customers into brand ambassadors, placed their successes in front of prospects who aspired to run operations like theirs, and let peer aspiration do the work that months of outbound couldn’t. Prospects started saying: “I want to be like them. They use this platform.”

Year-over-year lead opportunity value increased 3x.

Built

When competitors went silent or defensive, we went transparent — publishing completion rates, employment outcomes, and cost comparisons while acknowledging the industry’s problems directly. The transparency strategy attracted better-fit students who understood what they were getting, producing higher completion rates and lower churn across nine international institutions.

Lead flow grew 34% while most competitors declined. Conversion improved 23%. Revenue grew from $100M to $350M+.

Built

Serial trust-building — one stakeholder at a time — had hit its ceiling. We designed showcase events at iconic customer venues: 150 prospects in a single day, every member of the buying committee in the same room, peer validation replacing vendor claims. Objections got pre-addressed by people who had already made the purchase decision.

Event-sourced leads converted 2.3x higher. Time to close dropped 40%. Cost per opportunity fell 60%.
