I crafted collateral that our account managers could use to keep relationships up to date and educated on how to use the MAZ dashboard.
I wrote and managed:
- Sales and customer support decks and docs
- Email newsletter with product updates
- Product step-by-step guides

As Director of Marketing, working under the guidance of CMO, I helped direct and manage a 7 person marketing team to aid in the creation of quicker sales cycles, moving away from custom enterprise deals to more standard offerings.
Together the team succeeded in shortening sales cycles, automating customer support, and creating a more realistic forecast for revenue.
