'There is a revenue relationship between marketing and sales,' says Debbie Qaqish, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at The Pedowitz Group

Media 7 | October 21, 2021

Debbie Qaqish, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at The Pedowitz Group, takes us through her passion-fuelled worldview of marketing operations that are strategically aimed to drive revenue. In this interview, we had the opportunity to take a peek at her concept of "revenue marketing," strategic marketing operations, and her inspiration behind authoring several award-winning books. Read on to find out how to optimize sales and marketing collaboration tools, and how to leverage data to create powerful marketing campaigns.

Any marketer today working off their gut needs to be fired.



MEDIA 7: Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself and what made you choose this career path?
DEBBIE QAQISH:
I bought my first automation system in 2004. I was working as the VP of marketing for a tech solution company after having been in sales/sales leadership my entire career. My lens for every marketing and tech solution was simple – how to drive more revenue. The first time I saw a demo of a MAP (Eloqua at the time), I was hooked. I could vividly see the vision for a new kind of marketing and sales organization. A future in which marketing could, should, and did, directly contribute to revenue. I was so passionate about this topic, I coined the term “Revenue Marketing” in 2010 and published my first book, “The Rise of the Revenue Marketer,” in 2013.


M7: You have been with The Pedowitz Group for almost 15 years now. Where was the company when you started and where is it now? What changes have you seen take place for the better?  
DQ:
I am a partner at TPG and when we began, we had a very different market. The notion of marketing technology was very new and few companies thought marketing could be a revenue department. Most marketing departments were using email systems to communicate with their market. A very one-way, batch-and-blast approach to working with prospects and customers. They might have had 5 other pieces of MarTech they were using. However, we were passionate about the future of marketing automation and what it could do for marketing, sales and stakeholder value. We believed in the future.

Fast forward to today: We have close to 10,000 pieces of MarTech and many marketing departments outspend IT on technology. The majority of marketing departments have some revenue accountability. The customer now owns their journey and sales have been disintermediated from the early-mid parts of the buyer journey. Marketing growth has exploded, and with the rise of strategic marketing ops as a function, more CMOs, than ever before, are putting up big numbers. The level of strategy and sophistication in marketing is unparalleled. Based on these market changes, I published my second book with Forbes, “From Backroom to Boardroom:  Earn Your Seat with Strategic Marketing Operations.” It explores how having a strategic marketing op function finally enables marketing to be all it can be in terms of being a revenue and growth driver. It explores the complex MarTech landscape and what is needed to institute a strategic marketing ops organization.


The level of strategy and sophistication in marketing is unparalleled.



M7: What Marketing-related challenges do you meet every day? How do technology and collaboration tools encourage you to defeat these?
DQ:
However, even with the growth described above, the biggest issue I see consistently is the lack of marketing and sales collaboration.  I can take PPTs that I created in 2015, about the need and the value of the marketing and sales revenue relationship, and just change the date on the slides. Marketing still struggles with understanding sales and their role in the revenue process. One of the consequences of this action is I see more and more sales enablement tools come to market and sales are taking over lead gen activities from marketing. Many of the MAPs on the market today do a lot of what some of these tools do. It has been marketing’s failure to bring sales along the digital lead generation journey with them and that is now creating a MarTech mess in many companies. This is beyond a collaboration tool issue. This issue is related to leadership and educating marketing in the world of sales.

In companies where there is a revenue relationship between marketing and sales, I see several kinds of approaches. 

  • One company I work with has a sales advocate as part of the sales team. His job is to set up and optimize collaboration tools between sales and marketing. This helps transparency and working more as a team. 
  • Use of internal messaging platforms and channels – Teams for example.
  • Access to a marketing calendar.
  • Marketers taking a tour of duty in sales.


M7: What do you see as the most noticeable change right now happening in the workforce, encouraged by the rise of digital technologies?
DQ:
The rise in digital tech has spurred a war on talent.  I’ve been in the technology sector for over 30 years and I have never seen such a squeeze for talent. Part pandemic inspired – The Talent Migration – and part tech-inspired. As a result, salaries are at all-time highs and most job applicants have at least 2 other offers to consider before they make a final decision. Hiring companies today must offer a great place to work, the latest tech to play with, advancement opportunities, and training in order to attract and retain talent.

I am also seeing a bigger divide than ever before between the have and the have-nots. Access to tech careers by disadvantaged populations continues to be mostly blocked. However, I am seeing some bright spots on this horizon. My company does internships for disadvantaged folks and if they do well, we hire them. Another company, Highway Education, has taken a brilliant approach to this problem. They have 4-month marketing ops (with hands-on in the tools) program that is essentially paid for by the hiring company of the young talent.


Hiring companies today must offer a great place to work, the latest tech to play with, advancement opportunities and training in order to attract and retain talent.



M7: With so much more data available, do you think Successful marketers will rely more on data than intuition in the near future?
DQ:
Yes! Any marketer today working off their gut needs to be fired. This is ridiculous in this day and age. We are drowning in data and marketing is in the best place for anyone in a company to use that data and to provide actionable data insights. A few years ago, I wrote an article called – “What Kind of Datanista Are You”.  It was about marketing’s relationship with data and how their role and value changes as that relationship matures.


M7: Your book ‘From Backroom to Boardroom’ has gathered lot of positive reviews from industry experts. What do you believe is the driving force behind your proven track records and achievements?
DQ:
I am passionate, persistent and I am constantly taking the pulse of the market. I love this industry and it is a joy to come to work every day. I am driven by the challenge of understanding an ever-evolving market and understanding where that market is going next. Over the years, I have published hundreds of articles, white papers, blogs, eBooks, podcasts and other content to reflect what I am seeing. Everything I do is to help a marketer optimize their contribution. In writing “Backroom to Boardroom,” I interviewed 26 marketing leaders from companies such as SAP, Microsoft and AMEX. It’s their stories and experiences that make the book come to life.

ABOUT P2P GLOBAL

In today’s IT environment, delivering integrated solutions is complex. Various skills and in-depth knowledge of various IT disciplines are needed to design, implement, and support cross-brand and multi-vendor solutions. Mid-market IT customers that rely on a single solution provider are now demanding more specialized skills, but a single company cannot be an expert in all of today’s skill categories. Provider-to-provider—P2P⁠—partnerships are required more and more to fill these skill gaps and tackle increasingly complicated challenges. While providers recognize that there is a growing need to partner with other companies to effectively deliver IT solutions, it is difficult for firms to find the right match for specific projects and customers.

P2P Global is the solution to this major challenge in the IT industry. P2P’s members can easily and efficiently connect to each other to develop creative solutions and meet the demands of today’s IT customers.
It’s the first marketplace developed for technology solution providers—where they can create and respond to complex IT projects—to find the perfect match to fill skill gaps. Solution providers can offer innovative solutions and meet their client’s IT needs by building their ecosystem of on-demand expertise.

Genpact Integrates riskCanvas with Amazon Bedrock to Transform Financial Crime Management with Advanced Generative AI Capabilities

PR Newswire | September 29, 2023

Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering outcomes that transform businesses, expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to transform financial crime risk operations, leveraging generative AI and large language models (LLMs). Integrating Genpact's proprietary cloud-based financial crime suite, riskCanvas™, with Amazon Bedrock, has led to accelerated efficiencies and impact for clients such as Apex Fintech Solutions. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that enables developers to test, integrate, and deploy industry-leading foundation models (FMs) via an application programming interface (API) and customize the models to best suit their unique use cases. Building on its existing relationship with AWS, Genpact is now combining its intellectual property and deep industry expertise with AWS's generative AI capabilities. For example, seamlessly incorporating Amazon Bedrock FMs into Genpact's riskCanvas financial crimes software suite aims to unlock exponential value and improve speed and accuracy in the detection, investigation, and prevention of financial crime threats for operations across enterprises. This allows experts to review outputs and incorporate a guided decision-making process, providing comprehensive summaries and analyses of potential financial crime activities – accelerating both efficiency and precision. Genpact engaged multiple riskCanvas clients to significantly improve the detection, investigation, and prevention of a wide range of financial crime threats. As a result, Genpact is now driving accelerated efficiencies and delivering substantial impact for these clients in finance and capital markets, exemplified by their work with Apex Fintech Solutions. "Financial criminals are constantly innovating, which means financial services companies need to use advanced digital technologies to stay one step ahead of them," said Justin Morgan, Head of Financial Crimes Compliance at Apex Fintech Solutions. "With the addition of generative AI features to Genpact's riskCanvas, our analysts will be able to produce Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) narratives and case summaries at the click of a button using inputs from millions of data points. We expect this will reduce time spent on case summarizations by 60%, allowing our analysts to spend more time identifying truly suspicious financial activity." Using approved client data from the secure riskCanvas ecosystem, combined with Amazon Bedrock's secure data handling, enables the generation of highly accurate outcomes while maintaining data protection across clients. "Responsible AI is a core consideration in AI implementation and its importance will continue to increase, said Atul Deo, General Manager, Amazon Bedrock at AWS.

Integrated with Genpact's riskCanvas, this powerful combination enables our mutual customers to enhance productivity in investigating, detecting, and preventing financial crime threats. The initiative enables clients to fully leverage the potential of generative AI solutions and drive secure, scalable, AI-led transformation. "Data complexity and volume, false positives, and evolving sophisticated criminal tactics are accelerating the need for businesses to harness generative AI to transform financial crime operations," said BK Kalra, Global Business Leader, Financial Services, Consumer and Healthcare, Genpact.
