The real problem

Sound familiar?

Three failure modes that quietly drain B2B marketing budgets. All fixable.

1

"We spend on marketing but can't show what it generates."

No attribution model. No closed-loop reporting. Marketing produces clicks and open rates, but nobody can say how many became pipeline or revenue. The fix isn't a new campaign. It's a revenue architecture that tracks from first touch to closed deal.

2

"Our leads go cold between marketing and sales."

There's no nurture system connecting intent to conversation. Marketing qualifies interest. Sales expects readiness. Nobody owns the gap. A properly built lifecycle system — scoring, segmentation, automated nurture, sales alerts — keeps leads warm until they're ready to buy.

3

"Our Email Marketing Platform is a mess and nobody trusts the data."

A CRM set up once and never maintained becomes a liability. Duplicate contacts, broken automations, lead scores nobody calibrated. Rebuilding the architecture with clean segmentation and dashboards that actually answer leadership's questions is one of the highest-ROI investments a growing business can make.

Why trust Yulia

Built in real businesses.
Not advisory work.

The systems I build come from doing, not consulting from a distance. Here's the track record behind the methodology.

Revenue Operations · $305M Business
Peninsula Australia — built the system that generated 20,000 leads
At Peninsula Australia, a privately owned business with $305M annual revenue, I built the complete inbound marketing and RevOps infrastructure from zero. Social media funnels, email automation, lead scoring, CRM architecture, attribution reporting. The system generated 20,000 qualified leads. Not a campaign. A revenue engine built to run without depending on any one person.
Institutional Marketing · Lazard Asset Management
5 years inside one of the world's leading asset managers
At Lazard Asset Management Sydney, part of a global firm managing $200B+ AUM, I produced institutional investor communications, CRM campaigns, HTML email systems, and PDS and regulatory documents to ASIC standards. I also managed a high-profile investor forum featuring a former Prime Minister of Australia. That's the standard of rigour I bring to every engagement.
Complex B2B Audiences · BD Biosciences and McGraw Hill
Marketing to PhD researchers and institutional buyers
At BD Biosciences I marketed complex scientific instruments to PhD-level researchers. At McGraw Hill during Apollo's PE ownership, I worked inside a private equity transformation and saw firsthand how PE firms measure commercial accountability in marketing. These aren't typical backgrounds. They're why I think differently about B2B.
The difference in plain terms
"Most consultants advise on what to build. I've actually built it, inside businesses with real revenue, real accountability, and real consequences if it didn't work."

What I do

Four ways to build revenue
infrastructure that works.

📈 Service 02

Lead Generation & Conversion Funnels

"We get traffic but almost no qualified enquiries."

I build demand generation systems, not campaigns. Social media funnels, email nurture sequences, lead magnets, landing page conversion, and channel strategy — all built around one outcome: qualified leads with clear attribution to source. At Peninsula Australia I built a funnel that generated 20,000 qualified leads. The methodology works across industries.

Fractional CMO & Revenue Strategy

"We need senior marketing leadership without the overhead."

Senior marketing strategy embedded in your business part-time. I own your positioning, channel strategy, and go-to-market thinking, and report directly to you or your MD. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs. I've operated at senior level across financial services, life sciences, and professional services for 10+ years.

Website Conversion & UX Review

"The site looks good but it's not generating enquiries."

A personal review of your website's ability to convert visitors into enquiries, examined through conversion architecture rather than aesthetics. I assess your value proposition, hero messaging, trust signals, CTA placement, user journey, and friction points, then deliver specific findings with prioritised recommendations.

The process

From conversation to working system, clearly scoped.

Three steps from first conversation to running revenue infrastructure. No 40-slide decks. No discovery projects that go nowhere.

1

First Conversation

A focused conversation about your current funnel, CRM, and conversion gaps. No prep needed. You'll get specific observations about your situation before any commitment is discussed.

2

Strategy and Scope

I research your market, map your current architecture, and deliver a written action plan that's yours to keep. Clear scope, clear deliverables. You know exactly what gets built and why.

3

Build and Report

Every change tracked, every lead attributed. Monthly reporting in plain language — what moved, what we're changing, what's next. No vanity dashboards. Just numbers that connect marketing to revenue.

Is your marketing
actually generating revenue?

Most B2B businesses can't trace marketing spend to pipeline because the revenue architecture doesn't exist. Let's talk about what it would take to fix it.

Is this right for you?

Worth being honest about fit

This is for you if…

  • You run a B2B business where qualified leads, conversion rate, and CAC are numbers that actually matter
  • You need senior strategic thinking, not someone learning on your budget
  • Your Email Marketing Platform or CRM is underperforming and you're not sure what's broken
  • Marketing is spending but can't show what it's generating in pipeline or revenue
  • You've been burned by agencies that won the pitch then handed you to a junior
  • You want assets, data, and accounts in your name, not locked inside a retainer
🚫

This might not be a fit if…

  • You're looking for the lowest-cost option rather than the most accountable one
  • You want social posts and brand awareness with no funnel or revenue accountability behind them
  • You need a large multi-team agency for a national enterprise rollout
  • You expect guaranteed results in week one without a proper discovery and build phase
  • You're not comfortable sharing real numbers — revenue, CAC, conversion rates, pipeline

FAQ

Questions worth answering directly

If something isn't covered here, ask on a call.

What is Revenue Operations and why does it matter?
Revenue Operations (RevOps) is the practice of aligning marketing, sales, and customer success around shared data, processes, and accountability so revenue growth is predictable, not dependent on individual effort. In practice that means building the CRM architecture, lead scoring models, automation flows, and reporting infrastructure that let you trace every dollar of revenue back to its source. For growing B2B businesses, it's the difference between marketing that generates activity and marketing that generates pipeline.
What's different about working with you vs a B2B marketing agency?
There's no team. You work directly with me, a senior B2B revenue and marketing specialist with 10+ years across financial services, life sciences, and high-growth consumer businesses. I do the strategy, the audits, and the implementation personally. No account manager in between, no handoff to a junior after the pitch. Every deliverable comes from someone who has built systems inside real businesses with real revenue accountability.
I'm already on Marketo or an Email Marketing Platform. Can you review and improve what we have?
Yes, this is one of the most common starting points. Email Marketing Platforms are powerful but chronically underused. I'll review your current instance: lead scoring model, nurture flows, contact segmentation, data hygiene, sales-marketing alignment, and reporting dashboards. Then I'll identify what's broken, what's missing, and what to build next, with a prioritised action plan. Implementation can be scoped separately if needed.
How does a first conversation typically work?
I'll ask targeted questions about your funnel, CRM, and conversion performance and share specific observations about your situation before any decision about working together is made. No pitch, no prepared deck, no automated follow-up sequence.
Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?
Yes. I work with B2B businesses across Australia and with international companies that want Australian market expertise. Most engagements are remote. I can be on-site in Sydney for strategy sessions and implementation reviews when needed.
What industries do you specialise in?
My deepest experience is in financial services, FinTech, healthcare, and professional services — complex-sale environments where buyers are sophisticated, sales cycles are long, and generic marketing underperforms. I also have strong experience in high-growth consumer businesses where lead volume, CAC, and conversion rate are the key metrics. If your business has a serious revenue or funnel problem, the best way to check fit is a short conversation.
