Revenue Based Marketing 📈 ft. Amy Vosko | Revenue Reimagined Ep. 021

Amy Vosko

Amy Vosko, VP of Revenue Marketing at Path Factory, bridges the gap between sales and marketing by treating revenue as the ultimate north star for every marketing initiative. Having worked in both sales and marketing, she advocates for true RevOps—going far beyond simple CRM administration to connect operations and organization across the entire funnel. Vosko emphasizes that modern marketing shouldn't stop at lead generation; it must actively drive customer retention and expansion by tracking engagement signals and collaborating closely with CS teams. Achieving alignment between sales and marketing requires more than lip service; it demands shared OKRs, synchronized comp plans, and data-backed target account prioritization. Vosko shares practical ABM strategies for identifying red-hot accounts while letting marketing nurture cold ones, ensuring sales reps spend their time efficiently. Ultimately, she urges marketers to know their numbers, set realistic, bite-sized expectations with leadership, and never shy away from killing programs that aren't driving real revenue.

  • Building sales and marketing alignment starts with running small pilot programs and using data to guide where reps spend their time.
  • Setting realistic expectations with leadership involves breaking massive annual revenue targets into measurable, bite-sized 30- and 90-day goals.

Transcript

If you've never truly had one or two people who go beyond the architecture of your sales ops or your your CRM to to expand that into looking at your entire funnel from the very beginning of when you're trying to attract and identify what accounts you should be going after, all the way through to customer retention and being a huge seat at the table to help you connect the dots both operationally and organizationally, that's what RevOps is in my mind. Welcome back to another episode of the Revenue Reimagined podcast. We are stoked today. We have the one, the only Amy Bosco with us, who is currently the VP of Revenue Marketing at Path Factory.

But what is really interesting, I think Amy is the first person we've had on the show who has walked the walk on both the sales side of the house and the marketing side of the house, and can actually speak to both and talk about how things aren't how they seem on one side. It's not that simple. Amy, welcome to the show. Thanks, guys.

I uh I appreciate you having me on. This is this is going to be fun. Thanks for joining. Yeah.

So, because you've been on sales and marketing, I'm going to ask a really specific question. Usually we ask what other GTM function would you want to run. But since you've been in sales and marketing, it's got to either be CS or Rev Operations. Yeah.

Um, and I guess I can't say none of them now that you you've put it in there. But no, um, you know, I You could say none if it's not none to stay in marketing or sales. If it's none because you would do something else, I'm actually super curious to hear it. Yeah, um, well we were just talking about just owning and selling flowers on the street side sometimes, but um, yeah, you know, I think for me, it's it's a natural gravitation.

I would pick the RevOps side over and over again. Um, I think because I've sat in marketing, I've sat in sales. A lot of the world that I was in with when I was in sales was also CS at the time the way the organization was configured. And I have a huge amount of respect and um sympathy for all of those lanes, but I think the RevOps side is really exciting.

It's really, you know, I geek out about data and kind of configuring the operations of things, but it's super critical. Yep. For it's that like lynchpin, I think for the entire organization, and really smart groups, you know, I've seen some folks where it's like, yeah, we've got RevOps. I've got like a, you know, a salesforce admin, and so we totally have RevOps.

But that's not RevOps. RevOps is I think what business intelligence used to be, you know, the money ball folks, like in my mind, I think if you can really configure a good a good RevOps team, it's it's helping across the board, so. It it's definitely RevOps if you're talking money ball, so. Yeah.

You love numbers if you're talking money ball. I love baseball too, and I love that movie and, you know, I used to be a Brad Pitt fan. but. It you said a couple things interesting in there.

Um, and let let's stick with RevOps for a second. So you said that a lot of people will say, I have a salesforce admin, so I have RevOps. And I see that over and over and over again in companies that we work with. You know, how are you set up?

How are you configured? Talk to me about, you know, your RevOps team. And the answer is very much that. Oh, I have a Salesforce admin, or I have a Hubspot admin.

Yeah. Why do you How did we get to the point that people think having a system admin is RevOps? Because I've worked with some pretty damn good RevOps people, and they don't want to be your Salesforce admin. Well, well they shouldn't be to be perfectly honest.

Um, well, it's a good question and I don't I don't know if I have the perfect answer. My initial instinct when you started asking the question was, well, it's part the size of the company and what they're actually able to hire. Yeah. And I also think it could potentially be they don't know what they're missing.

Right? If you've never truly had one or two people who go beyond the architecture of your sales ops or your your CRM to to expand that into looking at your entire funnel from the very beginning of when you're trying to attract and identify what accounts you should be going after, all the way through to customer retention, and being a huge seat at the table to help you connect the dots both operationally and organizationally. That's what RevOps is in my mind. And, you know, I would be remiss if I didn't include the marketing ops part of this as well.

And so in our world, um, you know, I have I I I'm blessed right now. I have a phenomenal RevOps team and I have a kick-ass person on my team who is marketing ops and we meet daily about conversations and it's not just about getting the wires, you know, in the right order, but strategic conversations about where are we missing the target, or where are we succeeding and how does that all come together to align all of the different teams. So, that's far away from your initial question, but I think that that's part of me. Welcome to the next hour of Amy Bosco.

Um, I think that's why companies don't understand the value of RevOps and what it really means. It's not just about making sure that your your fields are customer or not custom in Salesforce. That's important too. Don't get me wrong.

You need that, um, to be efficient and scale, but yeah, they don't really know what they're missing probably and they can't afford it. So, I'm super curious. I saw your title, Revenue Marketing. Like, what is Revenue Marketing?

It's like this new title. I'm just curious, maybe I just Maybe I'm out of the loop. Yeah. No, you're not out of the loop.

I think it makes it makes sense for what my focus is. Um, you know, transparently, I I own the whole marketing team. And so it's not just about pipeline and revenue, we're also looking at brand and content. Um, I have the BDR team under my belt.

But what I think companies are missing the mark on still is if you're hiring a marketing leader who is going to solely focus on your brand, or solely focus on, um, uh, you know, how many customer reviews you have. I don't think that I'm saying those aren't important, but every part of what you do needs to be tied back to revenue. And so a big part of the reason I love that I was in sales and now I'm in marketing is because that's all I eat and breathe, right? You know, I I don't care if I'm buying monkeys for a trade show, which by the way are actually really cool and I'll send you guys some.

Um, Like like stuff monkeys? Yeah, like oh they're great. Oh I love it. Super cool.

Not real monkeys. I don't have that kind of budget. Um, but everything I do, I think about with the lens of how are we going to track this? How are we going to figure out if this is working or not working?

What is it that marketing's doing that is going to contribute to not only the top of the funnel with pipeline, but also all the way through to how we're thinking about what's happening and what are the signals that we should be using to make sure we're retaining our customers. And so the concept of revenue marketing really just kind of positions us as we're not here just to make sure that you've got pretty, um, you know, gift cards, we're here to make sure that everything we do is contributing. And in 2023, everything can be tagged and figuring out whether it's contributing or not. So.

I cannot tell you how much I love everything you just said. Working with, I think we're working with five or six different companies right now. Um, and when we talk about marketing, you are honestly the first and and I wrote it down and I quoted it. You're the first marketer, Dale makes fun of me that I'm always writing shit down.

Um, you are the you are the first and and then I throw it away. Um, you are the first marketer that I've spoken to that I have heard say the word signals for retaining customers. I've heard listen, everyone talks about leads. Some of the good marketers will talk about, you know, converting pipeline into revenue and like that's a whole separate thing.

I don't want to get into because you're on the sales side. Never have I heard someone say marketing's also responsible for retention. And Dale and I talk about that all the time. Your retention problem, maybe it is CS.

Maybe it's that you started the top of the funnel the fucking wrong way. Yeah. And to be fair, and to be transparent, I mean, I've been part of a lot of different startups for, you know, the majority of my career they've either been, you know, mid-sized companies or or, you know, I've been in tech startups for about a decade now. Um, again, bandwidth, how big is the marketing team.

So often times, marketing teams are stretched and they may not even have a dedicated person just looking at the customer side of things. Um, again, fortunate here where I am now, and to be transparent, we're we're really fighting off more of that now. You know, we I I was just talking to some folks who are in the ABM space that I respect highly. Um, and we're doing an ABM workshop.

Uh, you know, ABM is sort of my sweet spot now. Um, and one of the statistics that had gotten pulled out recently is that companies are heavily focusing not just on ABM to help with top of funnel, but they're really shifting to focus more on retention and expansion. And it makes complete sense. What better group of people to focus more attention on and spend more money on are are your customers.

And I there's a lot that marketing can contribute to that. Um, you can do simple demand gen plays. Hey, we have a new product launching. Do you know about it?

Um, hey, we've got 15 users signed up for this platform and only two of them are ever logging in. Well, what can we do to make that different? Um, you know, Pathfactory where I'm at now, we are heavily focused on making sure that marketers and sellers and CSM teams have the tools at their desk to understand what's happening with their buyers, whether they're a customer or prospect, and ensure that they're continuing to engage with the company. We do that through content experiences.

And so I love when I have a moment where I can come to my CS team or even my my selling team and say, hey, look, this customer of yours has not engaged with anything that we're promoting in over 30 days. That is a huge red flag. Yeah. Or hey, even worse, this customer that you're working on has been searching on our competitors for the last 30 days.

Huge red flag. What can we be doing differently to have those conversations? And it doesn't have to be a huge marketing campaign. It could just be picking up the phone or sending them really good articles or how-to guides or just, hey, I got some cool Could I curse?

Cool stuff to show you, right? Like, but rather than having all of our teams, whether they're marketing, sales, BDRs, CSMs, waving in the wind and trying to figure out what the heck to do and where to focus, Please, please. Yeah. This is where marketing's role can be really impactful and kind of help guide the organization on where we need to be spending our time and what we need to be talking about.

So, um, it's it's a massive overlook that I think a lot of marketers are finally aha-ing and saying, yeah. So good. I mean, so good. I think I I Adam's totally spot on, which I usually don't say too often, but Yeah, we're we're putting this on loop.

Yeah. Being like like getting down funnel, but actually getting to customers is really cool. So, I'm curious, like, you're like kind of the top 1% of people thinking about this way revenue marketing. Now like I'm making that connection.

Yeah. What are some what are some tips, tricks, thought processes that people that are either in marketing or sales, or someone thinking about how to how to get to that next level. Like, what are three things that they could do to to kind of get into your mindset? I think first and foremost, get familiar with your numbers, right?

You know, I think there's marketers out there who unfortunately aren't brought into what's even going on in pipeline right now. Start to really spend time getting to know your counterparts in sales and CS. You know, just from a relational standpoint. We're here to work together and I I think, you know, we were joking a little bit in the beginning about the Hatfield's and the McCoy's, right?

And I realized recently that my team does not know what that is because like my So sorry. So that analogy, but then explain that one to them. Like, let's talk about the Hatfield McCoy's. Yeah, yeah.

Um, it was it went wrong and then I just had a lot of puzzled looks, kind of like with my kids. Um, but I think that's the first step, right? Like you gotta get yourself familiar. You own as much of the responsibility of how successful this organization of yours, um, is driving revenue.

And if it's not something that you're, um, you're tasked with or you're measured on, who cares? It will only benefit you whether the organization you're in now or down the line. And I'm talking about people who are just coming into their careers and people who are well past what I'm doing. You know, um, so I think that's the first step.

Just start to get familiar with what's what with what's working and what's not. I think the next thing is take a very hard look at your programming and make sure that you've got the technology and the focus set up to help you measure as much as you can measure. And if you don't really know what you're looking at, because data data's big, right? We've been talking about big data for decades now.

People are still drowning in data. Um, reach out. Reach out to communities. Reach out to me, you know, we'll talk about like I'd love to help marketers because I, you know, I love to chat about this.

I get really geeked out. Um, but figure out what you're measuring and is it really impactful? Ever feel like keeping your CRM updated with call notes is a nightmare? You're not alone.

Most sales leaders would rate their CRM hygiene a four out of 10. Badly maintained CRMs lead to inaccurate data, missed opportunities, and a messy sales pipeline. Not ideal, right? Introducing Attention, your sales rep's personal Iron Man suit.

It transforms CRM upkeep, automating it with AI and freeing your reps to sell, not enter data. Attention fills your CRM with a single click, drafts custom follow-ups, and gives real-time assistance. Isn't it time your CRM worked for you? Ready to upgrade your sales?

Visit www.attention.tech. And be honest with it, right?

I mean, Be honest. Yes. People people they don't want to measure that data because they're like Is this real? And then like they're afraid to like promote it somewhere because they're going to get fired or like something like that.

They're too scary. And I'll be the first to admit like especially in the beginning of my career when, you know, I was kind of in charge of some programs, but not the whole kitten caboodle and it's like, wait, this isn't working. Oh my God. I guarantee you nine times out of ten, an organization would be happy that you unplugged something to start something that would work versus just let it roll and not talk about it, right?

I mean, I don't know. You guys tell me you've been in as many organizations as I have, but, you know, I've unplugged whole technology because I know that we're spending an exorbitant amount of money on something and I'm not even getting the, um, the support internally to use it the way that it's needed. And that sucks. You know, you go to bat to do something for weeks, months, and then you realize this isn't working and I've got to say, hey, you know what, we just put a huge 60K price tag on something that isn't working.

Um, see, I get familiar with the data, talk, ask questions, um, and then do some experiments, I think, right? You know, that's kind of the fun part about marketing. I something else I don't really share often just because it doesn't come up, but I was I was an art major. So far removed from being in sales or marketing.

And so Not really. You got to you have to have that artistic creative brain. That's what I was going to say. Marketing you have to have that creative brain.

You do, but for revenue marketing, it's a whole other side because you've got to think about the numbers. And and I think that's for me personally why I love what I do so much because I get to be on both sides. I get to be analytical and I get to be creative. Um, And so Creative number crunching.

Yeah. It's funny, my son came into my office the other day and I I had like a percentage calculator up on Google and he's like, Mom, seriously, you're using a calculator. You're, you know, Yes. I'm like, Dude, I'm working on like, yeah, I'm working on like people's comps here.

I gotta, you know, it's marketing math. I need to at least make sure I'm not doing whatever. But Are you trying are you tying marketing comp to revenue coming through? Yeah.

So, uh, my team consists of both the entire marketing org, you know, did uh, demand, ABM, content, design, Um, customer marketing, and then in addition to that, I also have the BDRs on my team as well. And so if you were to compare their comp plans with my marketing teams OKRs, which lead to bonus eventually, the very first cluster of goals are exactly the same. Nice. Interesting.

So if my BDR team is getting comped on the number of MQLs that they're reaching, the quality and conversion rates of these things moving through pipeline, my marketing team is also bonused on that exact same thing because we need to work together. Um, and, you know, I I've worked through different comp plans for BDRs over and over depending on the organization and whatever. But I still heavily believe that in order for us to win, we've got to be on the same team. And I, you know, and a lot of that mirrors, I think what the account executives and the CSMs are looking to do too, so.

So, we've said the word alignment a lot, right? Aligning comp, aligning teams, um, aligning OKRs. Yeah. But I think, at least in my experience, um, everyone says they want alignment.

Everyone says they want people to, oh, we want sales and marketing to be aligned and to work nicely together and like Dale and I want to be aligned and work nicely together. And like it doesn't always lead to Sorry? No, I'm sorry. It can be bullshit depending on the organization.

Right. So how do you you've done this a lot. You arguably are doing it well. I I you don't strike me as the type that just comes and says a bunch of shit that you're not doing.

Like and that's what we love about you. How do you drive that alignment deeper than, oh, marketing leader to sales leader, we need to align and make sure we're on the same page, which is what most people think alignment is. Yeah. And and it's not easy.

Um, you know, and I would be really full of it if I sat here and said, oh, you know, it happens over time. Um, there is a reason I like working for MarTech companies because it's kind of part of our DNA and you kind of have to and that's just one less hill you have to climb. Um, but I've worked for other organizations where they don't really understand and I think this is where you have to start a bit slow and you have to use data on your side to show. Not just not case study data.

I mean that helps initially, I think, but you have to start slowly with some pilot programs. I literally have taken I'll use ABM again as an example, right? So the the whole idea of account-based marketing is that you are going to identify a cluster of accounts that you want to make an impact on and move further into into revenue. And that could be you want them to expand, you want to get them as a client, whatever it is.

Um, my favorite episode and and I have this I've had this happen at every company I've joined. Come in. I sit down with a couple of the sales folks and I say to them, talk to me about your target accounts that you're going after. And they've always got the Walmarts on their list.

They've always got, you know, the the Googles on their list and I'll say, cool. Why are they on your list? How do you know that sitting and trying to target Walmart or target Google or target Cisco is the right company for you to be going after right now? And those are big swings.

Like They're big swings and they take a very long time. And I'm never going to ask a salesperson to not focus on the big swings, right? But my my goal around it is to help organizations understand there's a time for marketing to step in and help you and then there's a time for you to step in. And so having data to showcase look, this is an organization that you're red hot on, but they're not red hot on us.

So let marketing help you by creating programs to get them engaged. Creating programs to get you face-to-face with those groups. Well, you spend your time No sales person would not want that. Like holding, right?

Yeah. Exactly. And so that's where you begin your alignment is to use the data to show them I want to help you spend your time in the right place. I'm not saying you can't talk to them, but for the love of God, talk to these people first and then come back to this.

Right? And now if I'm a enterprise rep, if a marketing person came up and said that to me like, hey, let me show you the data on like what customers to focus on because you're right. Like you only have a limited amount of time. If we can like really pinpoint because that's what people are talking about right now.

We talk to customers all the time. They're like, we want revenue as fast as possible. It's like, okay, but you got to spend your time properly. Yeah.

So what you end up thinking about this if you guys can envision like I take a look at our entire ICP and then I start to use technology like intent signals, or, you know, Pathfactory has a lot of really strong buyer signals, which is down to the individual person. And I say, okay, look, we're going to bucket these folks. They're all in our ICP. But this group's red hot.

And so BDRs, sales, CSMs, you focus on that. Let marketing help you grease the wheels and give you some really cool stuff to engage with. While we take the cold folks and we'll let you know when they're ready. So, yeah, it it's tough, you know, I still have I lay awake and I'm like, I need more leads.

I need more, you know, I I will never have enough. Um, but There's never enough leads. There's never enough leads, especially, you know, when your economy is still struggling, but I think I think if you can go to the group as an organization and be really strategic about how everyone spends their time and their money, and you show the data to help prove that out. That is a really good first step to aligning everyone because you have you're not just up on a soapbox talking.

Um, but it's not easy, you know, I think whenever I do interview at a at a new organization, I need to meet with the head of sales. Mm. I feel the same way. Like I I want to meet with each of the heads.

Marketing, I want to talk to like CS. I want to understand how operations is working. And you can smell it a mile away if the alignment's not there. If they're just going to give you, um, sure, sure, sure.

Yeah. But then they're going to go back to their old ways. Um, and it just it doesn't mean that I wouldn't take the opportunity. It just means I know how high of a mountain I have to climb.

Or you just identify it and you kind of say to the CEO at that time, like, look at, we may have a gap here. Like I'm big into setting those expectations too like early like there may be a gap here. We have to try to figure this thing out if I'm going to come join you. Yeah.

And you know what you said something really important, um, it's setting those expectations. I think marketers struggle a lot with setting realistic expectations and putting them into smaller bite-sized pieces. This is what you're going to see after 30 days. Be super transparent.

You're not I I my favorite conversation, um, you know, we sat down with a client, not here, this is a couple companies ago. We sat down with a client. They just kind of purchased our our tech. Um, they were focused on ABM and, you know, I said, well, what are some what are some early wins for you for for the next 90 days?

Well, close one deals. Oh, we know this story. We've seen this movie before. Yeah.

90 days, you got a long you got a long time. We we we we, yeah. Yeah, right. You know, how long is your sales cycle?

Nine months. Okay. Well, let's break this in bite-sized pieces and and, you know, it's it's everybody wants close one deals. You know, that's I just I just had this conversation yesterday with somebody.

They were like I said, okay, what's, you know, what's your what's your what do you believe is successful? What's successful look like for you if we were to come on for the next six months? And they said, yeah, well, I want to I want to have 1.5 million in ARR.

And I'm like, okay, cool. What do you have today? And he's like, 50k. 60 80K.

I'm like, okay, so arbitrary number. Like I said, what do you consider success? And I'm like, so we we got him down to 250k of closed business in the next six months, which is reasonable. Like I can deal with I can deal with stretches and reasonability.

I can't deal with like Yeah. And it's hard. I've seen a lot of startups especially, you know, I I'm proud to say I've been through, hey, I just joined, we're we're seeding, I'm in A, I'm in B, we've popped, we're, you know, we're IPO. Like I've seen the horror shows and I've seen what really works well and and I, you know, the arbitrary numbers and the arbitrary goals, um, Not good for anybody.

Not good for the leaders, not good for the founders, not good for the investors. No, and you burn your you you burn everybody out. Well, you know, and then and then God forbid you you lose a runway. I've seen that happen too and it's like, well, you're spraying and praying all over the place.

No wonder you don't have any runway. Yep. One less rosé dinner, you know, I'm just saying. Awesome.

So we we do a lot of give the get here at Revenue Reimagined and you've been grateful. So tell the audience what you'd like to uh provide. That was much much shorter than normal, Dale. I like it.

Adam loves this. Yeah. Yeah. So, I I have two offers.

Um, one monkeys? I know. Well, yeah, so you can have monkeys. Anybody who wants, they can reach out to me on LinkedIn, get a monkey.

Um, So I love, I mentioned, I love working with marketers. I love working with you at any stage. Um, ABM is definitely my jam, um, because it is so much about whether even if you're not doing ABM, you should really be thinking in the in these terms. So, if anyone wants to reach out and collaborate, I'm super happy to get on and just kind of give you, you know, some feedback and and some some sessions around how to kind of get started on that or how to take it to the next level.

Um, but then I also want to just kind of plug and pitch my company for me. So Pathfactory. Do it. Let's go.

Yeah. Pathfactory, if you're not familiar, um, you know, the boilerplate is we are, you know, an AI generated content experience platform that helps go to market teams from sales, marketing, CS all the way through. The idea behind it is, you know, we're all used to this sort of Netflix experience now, right? I want to get the content shown to me, the movies shown to me, the music shown to me that I actually care about.

Um, well, Pathfactory lets you take all of your content, regardless of what medium it is, and compile it and aggregate it to together to create AI-generated recommendations of content for your buyer at an individual level. So the way we're basically doing that is reading off of third-party data, reading off of your first-party data, and allowing you all of these tools to help you analyze what's working, create really quick experiences. Um, but we've got some really cool stuff coming. We've got generative AI coming to the to the plate in December.

We've got a brand new platform and tons of new analytics. And I'd love to showcase that to somebody. Um, you know, I I also would love some feedback. I could use some some conversations around, how would you as a marketer or how would you how would you as a salesperson use some of this new technology, um, to communicate with your buyers a little bit more?

So the offer here is not just for me to showcase it to you, but, um, we are uh offering up 10 free seats once you actually do purchase it. And so that could definitely help an organization get started really quickly. So, how do you figure all this out? Reach out to me on LinkedIn.

Um, Amy Vosko, V O S K O. And, uh, I'd be happy to chat. Nothing scary. No no hard salesman here.

That folks. I don't have time for that. For everyone listening, that is revenue marketing. Not just regular marketing.

That is revenue marketing. Um, some lucky people will get to take advantage of that. I wish I would have taken advantage of the ABM offer earlier. Um, we have a lot of clients who are very, very focused, um, on account-based marketing.

Um, Amy, before we wrap it up, we like to do a little bit of rapid fire, um, questions must be 10 words or less. Oh God. Or Dale Dale Dale hits a gong. Okay.

All right, here we go. What song best describes your revenue strategy? Oh shit. Um, That's a good one.

Oh shit. Yeah. Um, still waiting for someone to say live on a prayer. Yeah.

Uh, I'm going to say, I don't know. My daughter's been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift lately. Lover. Yeah.

Yeah, I love it. Good, good, good. If you had a crystal ball, what's one revenue trend or strategy revenue trend or strategy that you put that take center stage in the next 12 to 18 months. So a trend that becomes like center stage.

Yeah, I think it's really leaning into this AI in a strategic way to being and and leaning into it in a way that helps you develop a revenue strategy that's stronger. Awesome. Yep. Totally agree.

I don't know if that was 10 words or not. Yeah, you're good. Amy, what a you talked about a lot of tips and tactics, but what is one lesser-known little secret? Lesser-known little tip or tactic that's made a surprising difference in revenue outcomes you've helped drive.

Um, yeah, I think, you know, a lot of folks are event led, right? We're we're semi-event here. But a lot of folks don't think about the experience before the event, during the event, and after the event with content. And so we at Pathfactory really lean into signals on what people care about before we even start to develop what the content for that that event is going to be, so that way we can guarantee you're going to get a really great showing.

People are going to be engaged and you're going to continue that fluidity, um, after the event. So, That's great. Yeah. Simple simple.

Um, it can also help you with directions. That's way over 10, but this is not a game to play for money. So, I love it. Oh, that that's that's a big one because a lot a lot of people go to events but they don't they can spend a lot of money on events and you don't really leverage it properly.

So it's a really good tactic. Um, okay. Earlier in the show you said that you want to be a RevOps leader. So tomorrow morning you grab some coffee, tea, whatever you're drink of choice is.

What's the first thing that you're doing? Uh, looking at pipeline. I need to understand what we did over the last week, what we did over the last month. Um, finding the holes and the gaps.

So. Awesome. Yeah. I love it.

All about pipeline. Amy, thank you so much for joining us. This was a absolute pleasure. I personally learned a ton.

Um, I don't often go back and listen, um, to our episodes. Um, but I am going to go back and listen to this one because I think there's a ton of knowledge dropped in there. Yes, I will say that again. I normally would ask I would normally ask where people could find you.

Um, but you plugged that earlier. Guys, check it out. Amy Vosko, V O S K O LinkedIn and it is pathfactory.com.

Amy, thanks so much. It was a pleasure having you. Thanks, guys. Enjoy.
