Cori Hemmah is a salesperson’s dream. That’s because of her unwavering opinion of what her main priority as a demand gen marketer is, and, in fact, what she believes every marketer’s main priority should be: “To drive sales and convert leads,” she says without hesitation.
Cori is Senior Manager of Demand Generation at Xamarin, a company that creates, builds, and tests native iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows apps in C# that can be used on any mobile device. She recently joined App Talks to share how Bizible helped her gain valuable ROI insight into AdWords campaigns, plan more effectively for future campaigns, and ultimately assist Sales in closing more deals, more effectively.
She says the data — and more importantly, the results — were immediately visible in Salesforce.
“Before we were using Bizible, we weren’t able to see when a lead came in and when it would close. We couldn’t see the ROI coming back. But with Bizible, that completely changed. They attribute revenue by cohort, which means I get a very clear ROI picture for each month and keyword, so it’s easy to see what we should be spending on.”

“That should be the driving focus of any marketer at all times,” says Cori. “Above all the other ‘fun’ stuff.”
The role of any marketer runs the gamut, from “fun stuff” like the creative task of planning marketing campaigns to more traditionally eye-crossing tasks, like making sense of marketing data that could potentially help Sales. When in doubt on what to focus on when perusing an impossibly long to-do list, Cori says revenue-related tasks should always come first, and Bizible can help. “It’s so easy to set up, and we saw great data in Salesforce right away. A lot of reports were pre-set, so it made my job easier.”
But having access to all that great data doesn’t mean anything if you’re not sharing it with people, says Cori. “It’s so important to be transparent with everyone in the company. Bizible helps us share with the whole team what’s working and what isn’t so we can adjust accordingly.”
