LeadG2 and its roots in sales.
Their parent company, The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS), has been helping sales organizations turn talent into performance for almost 40 years. They are obsessed with ROI and have the experience to deliver sales results because they have done it over a long span of years with countless satisfied clients.
LeadG2 has been where others are.
More than a decade ago, when CSS needed to grow and diversify, how it generated new business, the team turned to inbound marketing and found huge success after launching their sales strategy blog. Once the team mastered the art of using thought leadership content for successful lead generation, they launched LeadG2 so they could help businesses do the same thing.
LeadG2 understands the changing needs and demands of their customers and integrates what they learn and discover into their services, dominating the Consulting Business space by always being one step ahead, with the latest trends, technology, and best practices. Things change so quickly in the digital marketing world, and LeadG2’s team is regularly learning and having these conversations to be on top of the best ways to drive sales results and revenue growth for their partners.
Beyond their core inbound marketing services, they are also proud of their sales enablement services, especially the Sales Playbook. This is a very strategic and customized deliverable that they believe every organization needs – no matter the size of their sales force.
LeadG2 takes the services offered ahead with a mix of listening to their clients and their evolving needs and frailty and focusing on being one step ahead of the trends, technology, and best practices.
The leadership at LeadG2
A company is not complete without its team, and a team is incomplete without a sound and apt leader, and thus at LeadG2, the leadership plays a crucial role as the company’s overall performance and growth is dependent on it. We got the opportunity to interview VP/General Manager of LeadG2, Dani Buckley.
She comes from a background in radio where her career started while she was still in college. After graduation, she moved from the marketing department to sales, spending a handful of years selling radio and digital advertising (where she was a client of The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS), and she honed her skills as a salesperson. In an effort to transition more to the consulting side and work in a more holistic environment where marketing and sales is aligned, she focused her learnings and development on everything related to content marketing, lead generation, website development, SEO, social media marketing, and sales enablement.
Shortly after Matt Sunshine, Managing Partner at CSS, launched the LeadG2 brand, she was brought on board as a Consultant. Beyond serving their clients, she played a major role in helping develop the focus of the agency and the services LeadG2 offered. In 2016, she was promoted to General Manager and most recently to Vice President in 2020. LeadG2’s team has been able to grow their performance agency to be one of the top inbound marketing agencies and HubSpot partners in the world!
