Stabilizing How Marketing Connects GTM & Pipeline for Growing B2B SaaS Companies
Growth introduces more teams and systems. When ownership, assumptions, and handoffs don’t evolve at the same pace, the connections between Marketing, Sales, Product, and Customer Success begin to break down.
MCKINNELL works with B2B SaaS and technology companies to stabilize Marketing’s role in revenue by strengthening how GTM teams operate together.
The work aligns Marketing, Product, Sales, and Customer Success around shared messaging, enablement, and pipeline definitions so execution and reporting are trusted across the business.
Niki McKinnell is a senior marketing leader with more than 20 years of experience across SaaS, data, supply chain, healthcare, and complex multi-stakeholder environments. She has led regional and global teams in both public and private sectors, spanning brand, demand generation, product and GTM marketing, sales enablement, and marketing operations.
Niki is often brought in when teams are in transition or under-resourced and lack the time, neutrality, or cross-functional ownership to address growing GTM and pipeline complexity internally.
This is the stage where teams are productive individually but disconnected collectively.
MCKINNELL | Marketing Consulting steps in with marketing leadership services to stabilize how the system works together.
MCKINNELL's 90-Day Marketing Stabilization Program is a focused engagement for aligning messaging, enablement, GTM execution, funnel progression, pipeline, and reporting during periods of growth or change.
The program is designed to complement RevOps and leadership structures. It does not replace forecasting ownership or day-to-day execution.
