Cortney Wilbanks

Cortney Wilbanks

Strategic Consultant at CCT Atlanta

Expertise: Sales, Relationship Building, Content Creation

About: Strategic thinker. Relationship builder. Revenue driver. Advisor. Disabilities Advocate. Storyteller.

When I was in college, my journey took a unique turn as I stepped into the role of teaching college academics to student athletes with learning disabilities. Guiding them to succeed both academically and in their athletic pursuits was a rewarding challenge. 

In order to be successful in this role, I had to first understand how these students best absorbed information, disregarding the preconceived notions that had held them back. 

Together, we shattered barriers and proved that being “just an athlete” was a limiting belief, not their reality.

I firmly believe that we can not succeed without understanding why a problem exists.

In order to understand how, we must first examine they why.

By systematically deconstructing complex challenges, i love to empower customers to steer their teams toward operational excellence- making privacy the center of that purpose.

I believe that integrity & character should be the root of what drives you, no matter what title you may hold. 

To me, the way you make others feel and the support you offer are the main indications of success.

Hillary Carpio

Head of ABM & Demand Gen at Snowflake

Expertise: ABM, Demand Generation, Growth Marketing

About: My entrepreneurial, competitive and creative spirit developed in my early years while selling our family’s farm-fresh eggs to my local community. For each dozen sold, I revealed a timid, 7-year-old grin, exchanged my chicken-imprinted business card and pictured the day I would be racing in the go-cart I was saving for.

More importantly, I was learning how to create business experiences that not only generated profit, but left meaningful, authentic impressions on my customers. My small town relationships combined with my passion for all things creative have fueled my passion for innovative, memorable marketing experiences.

From the rural country to now the heart of the Silicon Valley, I am passionate about leading the next generation of marketing innovators in B2B Marketing.

I currently lead one of the largest teams in the industry dedicated to Account Based Marketing (ABM). In my time at Snowflake, I’ve built scalable, repeatable, and measurable processes and programs to serve more than 200 SDRs and 400+ sales reps that are replicated globally.

Those years were spent with deep collaboration across Product, Marketing, Sales, Finance, and IT to support 5 exits including successful IPOs for high growth companies like Zoom (ZM) and Alteryx (AYX), with M+A support for Mindbody (PE), Lynda.com (now LinkedIn Learning), and Iconoculture (now Gartner). 

Connecting the business critical dots from “those who build the product” to “those who sell the product” came in day-to-day leadership roles over GTM Operations, Enablement, and Customer Success teams – to ensure customers had what they needed – by sales and support teams being ramped and ready. My focus has been a global one across NA, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM teams, across selling motions from SMB to Enterprise, and from stages of growth ranging from $10M to $4B in revenue. 

Successful exits were achieved by tying together 4 key areas: the strategies, people, insights, and programs that delivered impactful revenue results across distribution engines like Direct, Channel, and E-Commerce. This would then be layered across key growth levers like new products, new pricing, new markets, and new segments while always optimizing inbound, outbound, PLG, and ABX programs. 

Two philosophies remain true in operating and advising … First: make the number, do it with as many reps as possible, and forecast it accurately. Second: make it easy for your customers by making it easy for your selling and support teams. The “what” here is easy, the “how” is hard – and that’s the GTM puzzle at every company.

Jen Allen-Knuth

Founder of DemandJen

Expertise: Outbound Selling, Sales Leadership, Sales Training, Professional Development

About: 40-60% of complex B2B purchase attempts end in “no decision” and involve ~11 customer stakeholders. 

We’re not losing to our competitors. We’re losing to customer risk aversion. We’re losing to the customer’s gut feeling that no matter how much “better” our solution may be, the road to “better” involves change, cost, productivity losses while the team learns how to do/use something new. 

We’re losing because in an environment where uncertainty is high, humans will do everything they can to avoid risk. How are you showing your customers the cost of inaction in your outreach? How are you helping them realize that the pain of same is greater than the pain of change? 

I’m passionate about partnering with B2B Sales teams to help them stop losing deals to status quo, price, or no-decision.

Kathy Klotz-Guest MA, MBA

Founder of Keeping It Human

Expertise: Thought Leadership, Public Speaking, Corporate Training, Leadership Development, Team Building

About: It’s no secret that to be competitive and innovative, your company has to be a great place people WANT to work at. It’s getting harder. Creativity and Innovation live at the intersection of courage, trust & connection. These look a lot like humor. No, it’s not about telling jokes at the water-cooler. It’s cool, HR.

While leading tech product & marketing teams by day and working as a comedian by night for 20+ years, I learned:

  • The biggest laughs come from trust and connection
  • Laughter builds community
  • The biggest standing ovations came when courage filled the air

When connection was strongest, so was innovation.

I got curious: Is this how I get my team to create better storytelling, customer service, productivity? 

That led me to start my business, write my book, “Stop Boring Me!” about comedy principles for innovation, and, today, advise global teams & senior leaders on braver culture. 

Trust, connection and courage lead to innovation, stories, comms. Humor & laughter open that door.

Leaders, ready for you & your teams to be braver? Let’s talk!

Krysten Conner

Sales Strategist at UserGems

Expertise: Career Development Coaching, Negotiation, Corporate Training, Public Speaking, Interview Preparation, Training

About: I never expected to end up in Sales. I was going to be a teacher. Help people. Change the world. After 3 years of teaching middle school history, I loved the kids but I was exhausted.

It seemed like a good time to return to our family’s global insurance agency. This was a business I knew well, and my parents were looking to pass it to a new generation. 

Over several years, I led multiple departments, from Operations to Training to Sales. The most important thing I learned: I was not passionate about running an insurance agency. This was a particularly low point because it forced me to re-think (again) what I wanted to do with my life.

I still wanted to teach, help people and change the world. And I realized that when I was doing Sales for our agency, it felt like I was doing all three. 

So we sold the agency, I dove back into sales and never looked back. 

From entertainment to construction to retail to property management to consulting to health care to financial services to waste management to manufacturing to software. I’ve worked with all types of clients. 

That made it easy to transition to the role I have now. Helping sales & marketing leaders in every vertical accomplish things they care about.

MJ Smith

CMO at CoLab

Expertise: B2B Marketing, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Marketing Strategy

About: I am interested in shaking up the way we do things on an industrial scale.

I told the board of one company to develop a fire detector for dog owners. One year later, I pitched an audience of 60 senior execs on an IoT sensor for live fish transport. The first thing got me laughed out of the room. The second one won my team 1st place in a pitch contest and $150k in funding.

I learned from both experiences, so I wouldn’t change a thing.

It turns out that the fish project was ROI positive in under 5 months. That success was enough to propel me into my first leadership role, heading up marketing for Firetrace. 

As the company’s first ever VP of Marketing, I changed how the organization defines marketing – from the brochure department to a key player in strategy and revenue.

Along the way, I became the first customer of Refine Labs. After working with them to build a high performing digital demand gen engine, I decided to join the team in March 2021. I took over sales and marketing leadership from the founder and led both functions through a period of significant growth (5x revenue in 12 months).

Most recently, I got the opportunity to join CoLab Software, where we are changing the way mechanical engineering teams work together. CoLab’s Design Engagement system helps engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner by making design review easy, automating the admin, and generating quantitative insights.

Samantha McKenna

Founder of #samsales

Expertise: Sales, Email Marketing, SaaS, Leadership, Personal Branding, Content Strategy

About: I had my first exposure to competitive “sales” in sixth grade when my school raised money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Knocking door to door and delivering a pitch was the start of my education; I still have the portable TV that I won for second place, which fuels my competitive spirit.

I’ve spent my career in sales doing a few things – breaking records, putting others first, creating global sales programs, educating through peer interaction, and going to great lengths to make people feel valued. I’ve launched new verticals, overseen the GTM strategy for some of the most successful initiatives in company history, and put in processes across businesses that redefine how each company works and succeeds.

As the founder of #samsales, I oversee an all-women team of 14 who believe in a manners-first and buyer-first approach. We:

  • Run sales trainings that cover prospecting via your likely under-utilized LI Sales Nav licenses, how to write great email copy, Show Me You Know Me™, perfect discovery calls, etc. all while being sales methodology agnostic
  • Speak at 100+ annual events – keynoting for SKOs, international conferences, and podcasts alike re: sales, social selling, and women in tech/sales/leadership
  • Write the content you have in your sales engagement tool, etc using our proprietary techniques + the most up-to-date data on what works to drive opens + replies
  • Teach social selling – as an LI influencer, ambassador of Sales Navigator, and former LI leader, I understand how to use the ecosystem to truly SELL. I’ve personally trained tens of thousands on the platform, ranging from 10-person teams to Fortune 500 brands. 
  • Build brands for C-Suites on LinkedIn. If you want to build a brand on LI but don’t know what to write, don’t understand the algorithm, and don’t have the time to manage, our full-service strategy will manage it exclusively like we do for some of the most prominent/highly visible execs you see on LI.

As a founder, I have one goal – to make as much positive impact as we can. Since our inception, we’ve raised over 120K via personal donations + our annual charity events for incredible causes, and have given away hundreds of our trainings to the military and transitioning teachers, free of charge.

When you hire us, you’re not just hiring a team, but rather investing in one who constantly puts good into the world.

Who am I, otherwise – 

Philanthropist, investor, dog lover, die hard competitor, writer, former Nickelodeon game show contestant, extrovert, expert in self-deprecating humor, and willing to walk through fire to make you laugh.
