Hi, I'm Trevor Brooks — an AI-Powered Revenue Operations consultant with 25+ years across marketing automation, demand generation, and CRM strategy. I help companies build AI-driven demand generation engines, automate operations with AI agents and workflows, and turn ideas into working products. My work spans HubSpot and Marketo automation, AI integration and consulting, and agentic AI systems that connect marketing, sales, and analytics into one revenue machine. I work across three connected practices: marketing growth, AI enablement, and product building. Most clients start with one and expand as they see results. I've delivered for B2B SaaS, eLearning, and service businesses across all three. ** 1) Growth Marketing & Revenue Operations** I help companies optimize their funnel, overhaul their CRM, and run full-funnel lead nurturing in HubSpot or Marketo — planned, executed, and scaled fast. * HubSpot CRM setup & optimization (workflows, lead scoring, lifecycle stages, attribution) * Marketo campaign architecture (smart campaigns, forms, lead syncs, engagement programs) * Email & SMS automation (drip, re-engagement, onboarding, renewal) * CRM + sales ops alignment (HubSpot–Salesforce integration, reporting dashboards) * Lifecycle lead gen strategy (SEO/PPC + nurture + conversion) Results delivered: * Migrated 200K+ contacts from Marketo to HubSpot with zero data loss * Reduced CAC by 40% through CRM-driven funnel optimization * Increased MQL-to-SQL conversion by 35% with lead scoring + automation * Cut churn by 30% with onboarding and re-engagement flows ** 2) AI Enablement ** I help companies actually put AI to work — not pilots that stall, but workflows that ship. I find the highest-leverage use cases, build the tooling, and train your team to operate it. * AI opportunity assessment and roadmap * Custom AI agents and skills for marketing, sales, ops, and finance * AI workflow automation that connects to your existing stack * Team enablement so your people become AI-native, not dependent on me * Practical governance and guardrails for safe rollout Results delivered: * Built a suite of Claude skills spanning bookkeeping, brand building, and legal advisory * Developed an autonomous buyer-intent signal-hunting system for lead generation * Created a restaurant operations platform managing inventory, purchasing, food costs, and kitchen intelligence * Built a work management tool that replaces expensive SaaS subscriptions I build so you own the result — methodology and tooling stay with your business. ** 3) Product Building ** I help clients turn ideas into products — taking a concept from rough sketch to a working tool people can actually use. * Rapid prototyping to validate an idea before heavy investment * MVP design and build for web apps, tools, and internal platforms * AI-native products with intelligence built in from the start * Integration with your existing CRM, marketing, and data stack * Built to hand off — you own the codebase and the methodology ** Tools I work with: ** HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Zapier, n8n, Apollo, Zoominfo, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Mailchimp, Calendly, Typeform, Stripe ** AI & build tools: ** Claude, Replit, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Arcade, Canva Whether you need to fix your funnel, get real value from AI, or turn an idea into a working product, I can help you plan, execute, and scale. 📆 Invite me to a call to review your CRM, AI, or data goals.

Making prospects fall for brands since 2001. With 25 years of experience, I help brands turn attention into revenue by using a mix of story, strategy, and signal-driven execution. You’re likely here because: * Your positioning feels "close" but not sharp. * Your website gets traffic but doesn’t convert. * Your growth plan feels reactive, not repeatable. * Or you’re simply too busy to simultaneously lead marketing and run the business. You’re not alone, and this is fixable. I’ve helped brands like: American Express, Jeep, Chrysler, Kleenex, Land Rover, Mazda, NVIDIA, SEGA, Vail Resorts, BBDO, Dentsply Sirona, and more. What I bring: * Brand Strategy & Positioning – Message-market fit that converts. * Go-To-Market Plans – 90-day roadmaps to scale smart. * Conversion-Focused Website Strategy – Because “pretty” doesn’t pay. * AI-Enhanced Lead Systems – Modern tools, real results. Results, not buzzwords: * Built Quest Custom's full brand + marketing system from scratch. * Closed $350K sponsorship for a niche brand through positioning. * Delivered 3:1 ROI on paid campaigns. * Doubled SEO traffic for a multi-site industrial client. * 100% Success Rate, Top-Rated & Expert Vetted How I work: I can plug into your team, or lead the charge. I don’t disappear into decks or hand off theory. I stay close to outcomes. If your goals are clear and you're ready to grow, let’s talk. Message me for a discovery call. Kevin Hopp

I build CRM, lifecycle, and retention programs that turn signups into revenue. 50+ clients. 200M+ messages sent. Consistent 50-70% retention lifts across SaaS and mobile apps. Whether you need a lifecycle program built from scratch or a seasoned strategist to come in and level up what you've got, that's what I do. I've done it for startups, Series B/C companies, and enterprise-scale apps with 20M+ users. I'm Braze Level 2 Certified, deeply experienced with Customer io, and I've worked across Iterable, Klaviyo, Clevertap, and most of the major martech platforms. I most recently served as Head of CRM at a fast-scaling AI edtech app, where I built the entire lifecycle program from the ground up using Customer io, Liquid, and a custom ChatGPT integration that generates 1:1 personalized push messages at scale. Before that, I spent years as a senior consultant leading CRM strategy for mobile apps and SaaS brands, and as VP of Growth for a top-20 health and fitness app where my CRM program drove a 52% revenue uplift. A few recent results: 96% increase in re-subscriptions from canceling users (push + email reactivation) 444% YoY increase in premium signups via a single holiday campaign 43.7% of daily push recipients opening the app within 1 hour 70% improvement in Day 7 retention for a wellness app 50% uplift in trial-to-paid conversions, adding $4.5K MRR Migrated an enterprise client to Braze in 3 months after 12+ months of delays What I typically help with: CRM strategy and architecture from zero to launch. Lifecycle audits and optimization for existing programs. Onboarding, trial-to-paid, and churn recovery flows. Email, push, in-app, and SMS campaign design and copywriting. A/B testing frameworks, cohort analysis, and revenue attribution. Analytics integration with Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, or mParticle. How I work: I start with a deep audit of your funnel, your data, and your messaging. I build a strategy tied to your actual growth levers, not a template. Then I execute: copy, flows, segmentation, testing, iteration. I'm a strategist who also does the hands-on work, which means nothing gets lost in translation between "the plan" and "the build." "Trever's copy and lifecycle strategy led to huge uplifts in trial-to-paid, retention, and app store rankings. If he's available, hire him now." - Joe Kindness, CEO, AgencyAnalytics Top Rated Plus. Expert-Vetted. 15+ years in SaaS, mobile, and ecommerce. US citizen based in Europe, async-native, and easy to work with. If you're looking for someone who can own lifecycle end to end, let's talk.

Proven Sales & Lead Generation Strategies for B2B Brands (Industrial, SaaS & Manufacturing) Most companies don’t actually have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. Your messaging may be too technical, too product-led, too service-focused, or too close to what everybody else in your industry is saying. And in today’s crowded marketplace, you only have a few seconds to capture attention before prospects move on. If potential clients can’t quickly understand: • what you do • who you help • why you’re different • and why they should care you lose them fast. That’s where strategy changes everything. Whether your business needs stronger positioning, better lead generation, trade show strategy, LinkedIn visibility, email campaigns, case studies, branding direction, website improvements, sales enablement tools, or a more cohesive marketing strategy overall, the goal is the same: Create momentum that drives measurable business growth. 🐝 ME: Are you ready to work with a strategic marketing partner who understands how to connect sales strategy, messaging, branding, lead generation, and marketing execution into one cohesive growth system? For close to 20 years, I’ve helped companies strengthen positioning, improve messaging, increase visibility, support sales growth, and create marketing systems designed to generate real revenue momentum. This work goes far beyond basic marketing execution. It’s where sales consulting meets marketing strategy and execution. My expertise often includes: • Trade show and experiential marketing strategy • Booth engagement campaigns and lead generation concepts • LinkedIn thought leadership and content strategy • Messaging and positioning refinement • Email marketing campaigns • Website conversion strategy and direction • Customer case studies and testimonials • Brand development and strategic direction • Sales enablement tools and one-pagers • Interactive marketing concepts and campaign development My campaigns and creative concepts are often copied by my clients' competitors after they gain traction in the market, especially within niche B2B and industrial industries where standing out is difficult and truly differentiated marketing is rare. When your messaging, branding, campaigns, and customer experience are strong enough to influence the market, competitors eventually start following your lead instead of setting it. I’ve also helped clients earn recognition and top rankings in independent industry magazine advertising studies, proving that strong creative and strategic messaging still influence buyer attention and purchasing behavior. 🐝 YOU: Would you like someone on your team who is strategic, creative, highly responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping your business grow? The best partnerships happen with companies that are growth-minded, decisive, open to creative thinking, and ready to build momentum instead of continuing to throw money at disconnected marketing tactics. Because finding the right strategic partner is not easy. Many of my clients stay with me for years because my approach is highly collaborative, fast-moving, and focused on creating real-world business results instead of vanity metrics. If I don’t believe I can create strong results for your business, I’ll tell you honestly upfront. 🐝 US: When strategy, messaging, branding, marketing, and sales alignment finally start working together, everything becomes easier: • sales conversations improve • lead quality improves • visibility grows • referrals increase • momentum compounds 🏆 A FEW RECENT CLIENT WIN$ 🏆 ⭐ Helped develop trade show campaigns that increased booth engagement and lead generation ⭐ Created high-conversion messaging and sales materials for industrial and energy companies ⭐ Built LinkedIn and email campaigns tied directly to revenue opportunities ⭐ Helped companies refine positioning to compete more effectively in crowded B2B markets ⭐ Created interactive marketing concepts designed to educate prospects while capturing qualified leads ⭐ Helped businesses strengthen messaging so prospects immediately understood their value and differentiation ⭐ Helped clients earn recognition and top rankings in independent industry advertising studies for standout print advertising campaigns Because the companies that stand out are rarely the companies doing the most marketing. They’re the companies communicating the clearest value with the strongest strategy behind it. Many of my clients tell me they wish they had hired me sooner because once the messaging, positioning, and strategy finally align, growth starts feeling far more natural and far less forced. If you’re looking for a highly strategic creative partner who understands both sales and marketing, thinks beyond disconnected tactics, and knows how to turn expertise into compelling campaigns that create measurable momentum, let’s connect soon. To Your Success, Cheryl Heppard (rhymes with Leopard)
