How I Used Revenue Data to Expose a $400K Marketing Attribution Blind Spot
"Our marketing team thought their top campaign generated 38% of pipeline. The actual number, once I cleaned the attribution model, was 11%. Here's what we found — and what we changed."
Why it works

The Marketing-Sales Handoff Is Broken Because It's Measured Wrong
"Most companies measure the handoff by lead volume. The ones that win measure it by conversion velocity. The difference is a RevOps problem, not a sales problem."
Why it works

The specificity of 'budget allocation' and 'ROI modeling' signals deep expertise and invites finance and marketing leaders to respond.
