Sheri Otto didn’t start out in marketing looking for “quick wins.” She started by asking the right questions.
Why do some brands with incredible products struggle to convert buyers?
Why does great content often fail to drive pipeline?
Why do marketing teams focus on volume instead of impact?
Early in her career, Sheri followed the conventional marketing playbook: More content. More traffic. More leads. But something wasn’t adding up.
Despite hitting lead goals, revenue wasn’t increasing at the same rate. The gap between marketing activity and business growth was painfully clear.
Then came the aha moment. Marketing doesn’t need more volume; it needs better alignment. Instead of pushing messages, marketing should partner in the buyer’s pursuit.
That realization changed everything.
Over the last decade, Sheri has built demand-generation systems that do more than drive engagement. They drive revenue. She has worked with B2B tech leaders and SaaS founders to transform their go-to-market (GTM) strategies into scalable, repeatable systems.
Sheri’s Philosophy: Marketing Should Partner in the Buyer’s Pursuit, Not Interrupt It
Marketing isn’t about forcing demand; it is about aligning with how buyers actually make decisions.
Instead of chasing leads, Sheri helps B2B companies engineer demand by ensuring that every marketing effort moves buyers toward conversion.
Her approach is built on deep buyer insights, automation, and revenue-driven execution.
“Sheri is a powerhouse leader and B2B’s best-kept secret for go-to-market campaigns. She can turn intricate marketing strategies into revenue-producing actions that competitors can’t touch.”
— Jay Schwedelson | Founder of SubjectLine.com & CEO, Outcome Media & GURU Events
From Experimentation to Execution
Sheri Otto is known for her ability to spot unseen opportunities and turn them into revenue-driving campaigns.
Her background spans high-growth tech brands, GTM strategy, and demand marketing automation at scale. But what sets her apart is her ability to build repeatable demand-generation systems that don’t just drive attention. They drive action.
Her expertise lies in:
✔ Leveraging buyer psychology to drive conversions
✔ Automating demand systems that move leads seamlessly through the funnel
✔ Using real-time insights to accelerate pipeline velocity and improve deal flow
And her results prove it.
Systematic Wins at Scale
At HubSpot:
Newly onboarded at HubSpot, Sheri and her colleagues were given just two weeks to generate demand—an ‘all hands’ sprint. The default response? More ads, more optimization, more pressure.
Instead, Sheri looked at what was already working. She identified freemium users performing a high-value action in their CRM account and built a system that:
✔ Segmented users that were halfway bought in.
✔ Used psychology-driven messaging to naturally guide them to the next step.
✔ Automated a new demand workflow that delivered 50+ qualified leads per month on autopilot.
Her approach didn’t just deliver quick results; it became one of HubSpot’s top-performing demand workflows, proving that demand is often hiding in plain sight.
At Redwood Software:
Sheri tackled a different challenge: High-traffic blog content that wasn’t converting.
Instead of producing more content, she demanded that the highest-visited blogs pull their weight. She engineered a CRO-driven strategy that turned blog readers into business leads as she ushered them into the company’s top-of-funnel process.
✔ Created a scalable model for other underperforming content.
✔ Developed new opportunities for lead nurturing and eventual conversion.
Sheri’s Philosophy: The Best Marketing Doesn’t Feel Like Marketing. It Feels Like a Trusted Partnership.

Creativity fuels marketing, but process drives scalable growth.
