Community Growth @ Lavender | aka DemandJen | Keynote Speaker
38% of complex B2B purchase attempts end in "no decision" and involve ~11 customer stakeholders.
We're not losing to our competitors. We're losing to customer risk aversion.
We're losing to the customer's gut feeling that no matter how much "better" our solution may be, the road to "better" involves change, cost, productivity losses while the team learns how to do/use something new.
We're losing because in an environment where uncertainty is high, humans will do everything they can to avoid risk.
How are you showing your customers the cost of inaction in your outreach? How are you helping them realize that the pain of same is greater than the pain of change?
I'm passionate about partnering with B2B Sales teams to help them stop losing deals to status quo, price, or no-decision.

Marketing Manager at Maxima Consulting | Maximizing Workforce Potential for Companies Worldwide 🌍
When I joined Maxima Consulting as a Marketing Manager in 2020, the company’s marketing efforts were almost non-existent. Today, our marketing team consists of 3 people, including myself. Our profile on LinkedIn has more than 10.000 followers. The clients regularly mention our marketing efforts in conversations, and our campaigns drive more and more candidates into our hiring pipeline.
◆𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠◆
Building the Maxima marketing division from scratch was definitely a challenge. Today, we have a real impact on the Maxima brand, its messaging, and its image. The leadership acknowledges and appreciates the team's efforts. We’re just getting started but I believe we continue to move in the right direction.
◆𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧◆
My goal for the nearest future is to grow the Maxima brand: both as an excellent employer, and as a trusted partner to businesses of all sizes, in Europe and beyond. For me, the sky is the limit. I won’t be satisfied until people in the industries we support recognize our brand as synonymous with quality and expertise. In marketing, there are no immediate results, so I understand we need to be patient to achieve that.
Being a competitive person, I believe that the work in marketing suits me. I enjoy solving unexpected issues, tracking our progress towards goals, and comparing Maxima’s results to the competitors. Of course, I understand that marketing is a team effort. I always put people I work with first, dedicate myself to being a dependable leader, and encourage team cooperation.
◆𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞◆
My role as a Marketing Manager is a complex one. On the one hand, I’m responsible for my team and overseeing their work. On the other, I have my own tasks to perform, including developing strategic plans, social media management, video content creation, and running paid campaigns. Even my experience in writing and translation (especially from German to Polish) comes in handy from time to time.
Outside Maxima, I enjoy following automotive news, going to the gym, and working on my podcast about leadership in the B2B space.
◆𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭◆
I’m an active LinkedIn user, so if you find my work interesting, or want to know more about my podcast, don’t hesitate to send me a message - I reply to all of them :D
