About

Meet Marijka

I help growing SaaS companies optimise the processes that turn inbound enquiries into revenue.

With nearly eight years of SDR leadership experience across inbound and outbound — including serving as Global Head of Sales Development, leading teams across North America and EMEA that generated $60M+ in annual pipeline — I specialise in identifying where leads slow down, get lost, or fail to convert, and recommending practical improvements that increase speed, consistency, and pipeline generation.

Services

Inbound Revenue Health Check

A one-off structured review of your inbound funnel with practical recommendations to improve conversion, response time, and pipeline quality.

What I Review

1. Capture

Lead sources, data quality, form review, and what's collected at point of enquiry.

2. Routing

Assignment rules, speed to lead, round robin logic, and how leads reach the right rep.

3. Follow-up

Sequences, response times, SLAs, and what happens after a lead is assigned.

4. Qualification

Frameworks, consistency across the team, and how criteria are applied in practice.

5. Handoff

SDR to AE process, what gets passed, what gets lost, and where leads fall through.

6. Reporting

What's measured, what's missing, and whether the data driving decisions is trustworthy.

How It Works

02

Questionnaire

You complete a short intake form covering your setup, team, tools, and processes.

03

System Review

I audit your CRM, sequences, routing, and reporting async — before we speak again.

04
