Workshops

The Lead Trap

Pavilion B2B GTM Group

A workshop for B2B go-to-market leaders on why the cheapest cost per lead often hides the most expensive pipeline. Using real paid-media data, it shows how to judge channels on cost per qualified lead, MQL → SQL conversion and revenue instead of lead volume, and how to rebuild paid ad and email funnels so growth marketing budgets scale toward the leads that close.

Experience

Conversion Rate Optimization Specialist

MVF Global · Aug 2026 – Present

  • Built AI agents and automated workflows that generate, build and launch landing-page experiments across multiple lead-gen funnels, scaling test velocity to 15 experiments per month with a 35% win rate and lifting revenue per visitor 40–60%.
  • Ran an A/B testing and experimentation program in Optimizely, measuring wins on revenue per visitor (RPV) rather than conversion rate alone to tie CRO directly to revenue.

  • Reduced cost per lead ~20% and cost per qualified lead 35% for a legal services account by reallocating budget from Performance Max to Demand Gen (YouTube) and running negative-keyword and geo-targeting audits, lifting MQL → SQL conversion 24%.
  • Recovered ~$45K in wasted spend through systematic search-query and negative-keyword audits across six categories, reallocating budget to high-intent demand and improving CAC 20%.

GTM engineering projects

B2B lead funnel analysis (BigQuery + Data Studio)

Built

Analyzed ~8,000 B2B marketing-qualified leads across 10 acquisition channels in BigQuery (SQL) and built a Data Studio dashboard comparing lead volume, close rate and time to close. Found that social, the #3 lead source, closed at 5.6% vs. ~12% for paid and organic search and took the longest to close; recommended shifting budget and SDR follow-up toward search and fixing source tracking for untagged leads.

Landing-page experiment hypothesis tool

In progress

Diagnoses failed tests and recommends next experiments, ranked by the team’s own test history. Built for MVF Global.

Networking intelligence tool

In progress

Finds relevant events and contacts, segments peers vs. stretch contacts, and drafts personalized outreach; built on a Make.com + Anthropic API pipeline.

Competitor ad analysis tool

In development

Pulls competitor creative from the Meta Ad Library API and analyzes messaging with Claude Code.

Clay lead sourcing and qualification table

In progress

An AI-native Clay workflow that sources and qualifies fleet-software prospects for outbound, built for the GTM portfolio.
