Episode #361:Alison McCue, Chief Marketing Officer at ACA Group, explains how CMOs can help shape growth decisions across the business. She shares how asking about client problems earned her trust, how working with sales cut lead response times from 99 hours to nine, and how a CEO’s question revealed a gap in marketing’s reach. She also explains how trusting specialists with execution gives marketing leaders more time to guide strategy and work with other executives.“I believe that if the C-suite leaders of the organization can really look at your marketing leaders as those strategic advisors and the strategic partners, there’s so much more that we could do.” - Alison McCueAlison draws on her experience building a business and leading marketing in financial services to show how CMOs can contribute to commercial planning. She walks through how her team agreed on a follow-up standard with sales, examined where marketing had the least influence, and brought in internal experts. She also shares what executive teams gain when they involve marketing early in decisions about where to grow.Follow Alison McCue on LinkedInFollow Steve MacDonald on LinkedIn
Episode #360:Daniel Hooven, Chief Revenue Officer at Squire, explains how revenue leaders can make growth targets more attainable by working backward from past performance and identifying renewals and expansion opportunities early. He shows how marketing, business development, and sales can focus their efforts where they have the best chance of success. He also explains how solving an immediate buyer problem earns the trust needed for future conversations.“Once you get somebody in the door and can prove value and prove that you can be trusted to solve the problem they have now, then you have earned the right to have a conversation about how you can solve the problems of tomorrow.” - Daniel HoovenDaniel explains how contract values, billing rates, and client churn help leaders test a growth target before committing to it. He discusses where to deploy the strongest sales and marketing talent, how to guide buyers directly to the expertise they need, and how candid client feedback can surface service issues early. Together, these practices give revenue teams a clearer plan to win new business and grow the accounts they already serve.Follow Daniel Hooven on LinkedInFollow Steve MacDonald on LinkedIn

Episode #358:Paula Carneiro Cox, Chief Marketing Officer at WonderBotz, explains why effective B2B marketing starts with a clear business outcome.

The conversation explores how marketing supports buyer decisions, learns from sales conversations, and applies AI with purpose. Paula also explains how aligning marketing priorities with company objectives strengthens the CMO’s contribution to growth.“Make sure that you understand what the company's north star is, and then put the puzzle pieces in place to point in that direction. I think any plan created without the outcome understood is a futile exercise.” - Paula Carneiro CoxDrawing on her background in sales, automation, and process improvement, Paula describes how marketing can contribute from the first introduction through the deal process.

Episode #357:Jordan Bulkoski, Chief Revenue Officer at Jeeves, explains how executives can challenge the assumptions shaping their growth strategy. He connects team performance with internal trust, customer feedback, and AI that gives people more time for meaningful work. Drawing on his leadership experience, he encourages CROs to reconsider markets, products, and incentives when familiar approaches no longer produce the outcomes their business needs.“Changing the rules of the game or making extreme decisions may cause friction that may be unexpected, that may not be the obvious choice, but then it creates a new reality that everyone's operating within.” - Jordan BulkoskiWhat makes revenue performance more predictable when people, markets, and customer needs keep changing? Jordan explores how executive relationships, direct customer feedback, and practical AI use can improve decisions across the business. He also challenges leaders to examine whether familiar markets and compensation plans still support their goals, offering a perspective on owning the conditions that shape growth.Follow Jordan Bulkoski on LinkedInFollow Steve MacDonald on LinkedIn
Episode #356:Brandon Salisbury, Chief Revenue Officer at Tilt, explains how shared revenue accountability brings sales and marketing together around the same outcomes. He connects customer research, early buyer education, and stage-based measurement to a more coordinated go-to-market strategy. Drawing on his experience across both functions, he also shares why strong fundamentals and committed investment matter more than chasing the latest tools.“We wanted to make sure that we viewed our departments almost like a revenue factory. Marketing is going out, generating and creating these opportunities that we're then handing off and passing to sales. The goal of this product is to sell it and to attract and retain customers. Starting from there, we're able to align on the metrics that really matter.” - Brandon SalisburyWhat changes when marketing and sales share responsibility for revenue? Brandon explores how Tilt connects pipeline commitments, buyer education, and customer insights to business performance. He explains why brand investment needs different expectations from demand generation, how buyer-stage metrics reveal obstacles, and why a validated ABM strategy deserves focused resources rather than divided attention.Follow Brandon Salisbury on LinkedInFollow Steve MacDonald on LinkedIn

Alex explains how researching a customer’s business helps teams identify opportunities to provide value, why buyers should meet the people responsible for their success, and how useful insights can keep conversations moving.
