My introduction to Freshworks and the various projects I completed uncovered an opportunity I recognized that would allow me to take on a more focused remit. While my role allowed me to see multiple sides of the business that was hugely helpful to my onboarding and success, I was ready to focus in a key area where I could lead a team and solve a major gap for Freshworks - the GTM technology stack. Three different teams across sales, marketing & operations, as well as partnership with IT, owned various technologies and technology processes. These teams came together under my leadership within the global revenue enablement team to consolidate efforts and create a more streamlined approach to GTM technology.

While I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Genesys, I decided to take on a new opportunity at Freshworks for two reasons - first, I felt it was important for my career development to gain experience in other companies; second, I was ready to take my experience at Genesys and expand to more direct support of sales & customer success teams to widen my skills. To date, this is the hardest decision I've made in my career. In this role, I was responsible for optimizing workflows to increase sales velocity, designing prescriptive programs, and executing these strategies in the field to produce meaningful results. This role required cross-functional and global collaboration with sales, marketing, sales strategy, revenue operations, IT & product teams. Key deliverables:- Launched an outbound prospecting program for SMB & field sellers using Outreach, increasing engagement by 45%- Created an expansion strategy designed to align CSMs & AMs on key activities and drive the cross-sell motion between products- Acted as SME for our internal CRM migration, which included defining business requirements, developing processes, and prioritizing deliverables- Designed a robust, custom Outreach - CRM integration to make prospecting easier for sellers

In February 2022, I earned a promotion to Senior Director. I continued to grow my team to 13 to provide more support for a new, growing product while focusing the majority of the team on our core deliverables. During this time, I focused my efforts primarily on cross-functional GTM strategy as we were undergoing a change from the pod model to a new model that focused more on capacity ratios by segment.Some key achievements:- Created an SDR analytics program to drive decisions on capacity planning, skill development and revenue opportunity- Built out operational processes with our sales strategy team ot ensure accurate reporting & alignment of the new segmentation model- Developed the sales development arm of the GTM strategy including sales process, prospecting, opportunity handover, cross-functional reporting, commissions & results sharing

While developing the sales development operations team within marketing operations, other support teams were created directly within the global sales development organization for enablement, marketing campaign alignment, messaging & account research. A decision was made in 2021 to bring all sales development support teams (10 team members) under the global sales development leader and I was chosen to lead this combined team. While still collaborating closely with marketing operations, this transition allowed me to gain greater visibility and experience in more strategic projects across Genesys.Some key achievements in this role include:- Created a new segmentation model & developed territory alignment, targets & commissions to align to the new model- Deployed an outsourcing model to cover a newly introduced product that allowed us to ramp opportunity output by 50%- Developed a process to transition SMB leads directly to sales to align to a business goal of movig sales developments resources up market

In 2019, I was promoted to Director and continued to grow my team by adding support in the Philippines. This promotion was a huge achievement for me as it was a goal I had set for myself when joining the marketing operations organization in 2017. This time was marked by a period of significant change within Genesys to become a more digital-first organization and create more alignment across customer facing teams, all while navigating the pandemic.Key achievements in this role include:- Nomination as pod champion for sales development, driving the implementation of a cross-functional pod model developed by Winning by Design and deploying DemandBase to support pod success- Nominated as SteerCo member with marketing and sales executives at Genesys and various sales & marketing SaaS companies to share best practices and drive integration efficiency across our tech stack- Partnered with sales, marketing, operations & product teams to build our first try before you buy offering without the traditional qualification and contract process

After a year and a half supporting our team of ~100 SDRs as an individual contributor, I added a team member from Germany to help support the team's projects. This allowed me to scale projects cross-functionally to support the wider sales and marketing teams. Some key achievements in this role:- Built a prioritization model to align prospecting strategies to the newly introduced ABM model- Partnered with revenue operations to deploy a re-engagement campaign to win closed lost business, resulting in a 30% increase in conversion- Developed a playbook for channel processes to help partners understand how marketing, sales development and channel can achieve mutual success

Beginning this role was a culmination of 5 years of exploration, proficiency growth & timing. Taking on several projects outside of my core role as Sales Development Representative allowed me to expand my skills early in my career and explore my strengths. I found early on that I enjoyed the camaraderie of sales, but realized that I didn't want to continue my career in a traditional sales role. My strengths were found in identifying and learning ways to make sales development reps' lives easier and in collaborating with other teams to bring efficiencies to the team. I also found a strength in being able to teach complex processes to my peers in simple, easy to understand ways. The acquisition of Interactive Intelligence by Genesys provided the timing I needed to transition into this role - a role that I had been working to step into for 3 years. This was a pivotal moment in my career and has led me to where I am today.As Manager of Sales Development Operations & Analytics, I supported the global sales development team by ensuring key lead management processes and insights were in place and optimized to enable engagement with marketing sourced leads at the best time to maximize conversion rates. Some key achievements in this role: - Managed a quarterly audit of marketing sourced pipeline, uncovering $8M/year in missing revenue attribution- Reported commissions to finance for sales development team payments, improving accuracy and timeliness of payouts from ~85% to 100%- Built a lead prioritization framework & deployed Salesforce dashboards for reps to prioritize key prospects using intent, marketing data & sales priorities- Led the evaluation of a sales engagement platform & implemented Outreach, which drove a 32% increase in rep productivity

In late 2016, Interactive Intelligence was acquired by Genesys and our two sales development teams joined together. While my core responsibilities stayed the same, I was focused on prospecting within mid-market and SMB segments across the US and Canada. I also acted as SME for all sales development technology, including Salesforce and Salesvue. As part of this SME-ship, I led a tiger team to evaluate and make recommendations for an aligned strategy to standardize sales development policies and processes following our acquisition.

In 2015, I was promoted to Senior Sales Development Representative. Responsibilities in this role expanded to include a higher quarterly target, assignment of strategic accounts, mentorship of new sales development representatives, and additional projects.

During this time, I also supported enablement of a new velocity sales team and cross-trained an outbound-focused sales development team when our teams reorganized into one team.
