“How I Work” is one of my favorite recurring features in Inc Magazine as well as via Lifehacker’s This Is How I Work Series, and recently several sales experts (including Anthony Iannarino, Dave Brock and Trish Bertuzzi) participated as well.
Periodically moving forward we will feature a new B2B sales, marketing or business leader here answering what have become the standard “How I Work” questions. You can catch up on everyone we’ve featured thus far in the “How I Work” series here.
This week I’m excited to feature Bonnie Crater, founder and CEO of Full Circle Insights. Long have companies and marketers wanted the ability to track impact, causality and weighting across multiple campaigns. Bonnie went and built it. Her history in the tech industry is something to behold – years at Oracle, a stint working for Marc Andreessen at Netscape, plus several tours of duty at Silicon Valley companies from start-ups to Salesforce.com.
All that plus a biology degree from Princeton. Suffice it to say, Bonnie gets stuff done. Here in her own words is how she does it.
