From ad-hoc to absolute alignment

You've made some good deals, but still have no real proof that it's repeatable. Maybe you've hired an agency or a marketer, but they never seem to hit the nail on the head, or maybe you just don't think the content really does the trick. Your BDR(s) are at a loss for the right discovery questions. Noone seems to know how to disqualify. You need proof for prospects or they're too hesitant to join you. And everyone on your team sells the way they see best fit.

As a start up culture, the demands are fast and furious with constantly changing priorities and expectations- Rachel accepts every challenge in stride and pivots to provide quality responses to each. It is my privilege to recommend her as a valuable asset to any team.

What we can work on together.

Product-market fit

Product-market fit is the degree to which a product satisfies genuine market demand, measured against buyer evidence rather than internal conviction. Naming where fit is thin early ensures resources go toward what the market has proven it wants.

  • Interviews with buyers, users, and churned accounts, coded into themes
  • A review of usage, retention, and win/loss signals against the target segment
  • A written verdict per segment: where fit is proven, and where the evidence is thin
  • A thorough analysis of recorded calls with prospects and customers
  • Recommendations: reposition, narrow the segment, or change the product story

Market research & competitive intelligence

Market research and competitive intelligence is the evidence, from competitive teardowns to buyer interviews, needed to make a specific business decision. Tying research to a real decision ensures it becomes usable input, not an exercise in itself.

  • Competitive teardowns: positioning, pricing signals, messaging, and documentation, with each rival's weak points listed
  • Category and market sizing from public sources, with every figure attributed
  • Buyer and analyst interviews, plus survey design
  • A written summary and comparison table for sales, battlecards, and enablement

Sales assets

Sales assets are the decks, scripts, battlecards, and FAQs a sales team uses at every stage of the funnel. Building every asset from the same message framework as the website ensures buyers hear one consistent story throughout the sales process.

  • Pitch and demo decks, with the narrative logic written alongside the slides
  • Demo scripts, talk tracks, and discovery questions by persona and segment
  • Objection handling, competitive battlecards, and pricing conversation guides
  • Customer-facing FAQs, one-pagers, and proposal templates

Social, 3rd-party presence & reputation

Social, third-party presence and reputation is the management of how a company shows up publicly, from social channels to review sites and search results. Clear voice guidelines and active monitoring ensure the first impression is the intended one.

  • Channel selection and priority, including which channels to quit
  • Voice guidelines for the founder account and the brand account
  • Content pillars and a posting cadence matched to team capacity
  • Review-site and directory presence: claiming profiles, prompting real reviews, responding to them
  • Search-result audit: what shows up on page one, and what should
  • A response plan for negative reviews or misinformation, and monitoring so new mentions don't go unnoticed

GTM

Go-to-market is the overall plan for which markets to enter, how the product differentiates, and how each release reaches customers. A tiered, coordinated plan ensures the right releases get the right level of investment.

  • Market analysis and competitive differentiation
  • Segment definitions a rep can disqualify with
  • Launch tiers: which releases earn a full campaign and which get a release note
  • Team readiness review across sales, marketing, and support
  • The plan: what ships, in what order, and to whom

Win/loss

Win/loss is the practice of interviewing buyers after a deal closes, won or lost, independent of the deal team. Structured interviews surface the real reasons deals succeed or stall, so decisions rest on buyer truth rather than internal narrative.

  • Interview guides and recruiting for closed-won and closed-lost accounts
  • Independent interviews, recorded and transcribed
  • Coded themes with the buyer's verbatim quote attached to each finding
  • A readout each cycle, routed to product, sales, and messaging

Why work with me.

One person, one story

Brand and product read better in one voice, especially for technical products.

Curious & flexible approach

New approaches every time, based on your business needs specifically.

Speaks everyone's language

Tell your story uniformly to anyone, using clear, persuasive language adapted by persona.

Strategic thinking, critical eye

I'll give you my honest opinion every single time.

Have it your way

We'll agree together on how to manage the engagement, based on your business needs.

Fast, and also pedantic

I learn super fast, and I'm pedantically attentive to the small details simultaneously.

Read about my values.

Questions?

What does "deep tech" mean?

Products whose primary value is the technology itself, and where the buyer or first discoverer is often technical: cybersecurity, AI and computer vision, developer tools, fleet and operations platforms.

Practically, this usually means that copy should be direct and technical - at least for that part of your audience.

Do you replace an in-house team or work alongside one?

My engagement with each company changes depending on the business needs!

What does an engagement look like?

A project, a quarter, or the long haul: this can be anything from hands-on execution through to fractional marketing leadership.

Do you write the work yourself, or manage writers?

I write it. That is the point of the arrangement: the strategy and the technical writing that makes it credible come from the same person.

When volume genuinely needs more hands, I bring in and manage contractors, but the through-line stays mine.

How technical does it actually get?

Further than most strategists go: docs-as-code, analytics, product and UX specs, and content structured so that LLMs can read it.

Developer portals, product documentation and release notes are inside the work, not adjacent to it.

How do you use AI in the work?

AI accelerates work that I have always done myself but didn't really need to, and makes me available to do the work that only an experienced human can do. AI workflows, skill systems, pipelines and automations.

I also teach it, including to marketers who are wary of it. Judgment about when not to use it is part of the job.

Is the mentoring really free?

Yes. For marketers and technical writers: breaking in, using AI with judgment, and building systems that get used.

There is no upsell attached to it and no catch.

How do you measure success?

We'll establish scope and measurements at the start of the project.

Still not sure?

Tell me what you're working on. I'll help you understand how I can help you find the right solutions.
