Scaling Back to Move Forward | Ryan Morel

When the economy rocks as much as we've all witnessed in the past year, pivoting and reprioritizing can become the norm. But reprioritization doesn't need to feel chaotic. Ryan Morel, VP of Marketing at Flexe, a software company delivering technology-powered, omnichannel logistics programs, knows this first hand. Being at the company for over seven years, Ryan is no stranger to change, which is why he's so adamant about having a North Star to work towards. With a clear North Star in mind, Ryan believes you can strategically direct a team and drive results no matter the outside circumstances. In this episode of Revenue Talks, Ryan discusses his experience working at a start-up that is constantly evolving to meet current marketing demands. The two marketing VPs chew over knowing when it's time to “kill your darlings" in order to move forwar, how to manage team expectations and the importance of marrying marketing and sales activities through persistent collaboration. You can connect with Justin on Twitter and Ryan on LinkedIn. Read how other go-to-market leaders are strategizing their year: https://drift.ly/stateofconversations
