Her many adventures in business began as the first woman to sell machine-shop tools in the U.S., and rapidly grew into a life of customer-centric evangelism. She spent decades as a “revenue coach,” often hired to turn around struggling marketing and sales departments for companies of all sizes (from startups to IBM). Zhivago knows how to succeed in today's competitive market. Zhivago Partners, a digital marketing management company, is the culmination of her experiences as an entrepreneur, revenue coach, keynote speaker, author of 5-star book Roadmap to Revenue: How to Sell the Way Your Customers Want to Buy, and rescuer of sagging sales. Zhivago Partners is a thriving, digital marketing management firm consisting of professionals experienced in leveraging leading-edge methods to increase revenue for both B2B and B2C companies.
