Marketing has spent decades trying to prove its value to the rest of the business. Dr. Debbie Qaqish (Gah-geesh), is a leading expert in B2B revenue marketing, Founder and CEO of The Growth Factor, Partner at The Pedowitz Group, and best-selling author who argues that the time has come to stop treating marketing as a cost center and start treating it as a core part of the revenue team. In her view, revenue marketing means transforming marketing from a cost center into a revenue center. That shift requires more than new technology or better reporting. It requires a fundamental change in how organizations define the CMO's role, measure marketing performance, and align sales and marketing around revenue. In this episode of The B2B Revenue Executive Experience, Debbie joins host Cory Cotten-Potter to discuss revenue marketing, CMO leadership, AI in sales and marketing, sales coaching, psychological safety, and the changing responsibilities of revenue leaders. From recognizing the warning signs of burnout to redefining leadership as an "architect of change," the conversation offers practical guidance for leaders navigating constant technological change without losing the human capabilities that make revenue teams effective.
