Ron Stupl
SVP & COO, Due Diligence Firm
I was promoted this year to a role that requires more focus on sales, and my organization connected me with Debra to help me develop my focus and effectiveness in the market. I found her to be warm, knowledgeable, encouraging, and an attentive listener. By asking the right questions and providing just enough (but not too much) structure to our work together, she helped me to realize interests and opportunities, and identify strategies that I hadn't been using. I would recommend Debra to anyone who needs a thinking partner in sales. and marketing, regardless of industry
Carey Gallagher
Principal, CFAR
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Marketri on a website relaunch and ancillary collateral for our shared client. From the first phone call, I was impressed by Deb’s growth marketing insights and outstanding client relationship management. Marketri’s messaging statement and other assets served as invaluable resources throughout my drafting process.
During revisions, Deb’s strategic suggestions focused our targeting and strengthened the copy. I leave this first Marketri collaboration with greater confidence in my communication skills, both on creative presentation calls and in delivering written B2B marketing messages. Deb has a calming, positive, professional manner and consistently goes above and beyond.
