Precision ABM for Oil & Gas

STOP GETTING
30¢ ON THE DOLLAR

Children give excuses. Adults look at results. Real results show up in revenue, yet marketing continues to get a pass. If that approach works for you, you don't need me.

I Don't Sell Education. I Sell Clarity.

Education Happens When The Fog Lifts.

I’ve spent over 30 years solving problems most people don’t see until the money’s already gone. I turned $1,500 into $4.6 million in nine months, operating out of a shoebox office, and captured 85% of my target market before anyone realized what was happening. That run put me on CNN during Super Bowl weekend. Not because I chased attention. Because the system worked.

My clients weren’t “logos.” They were people at the very top of food chains most marketers never get near. When the stakes were high and mistakes were expensive, I was trusted to build the system anyway.

Long before AI became a buzzword, I was building applied models to solve real business problems. Not demos. Not experiments. Not hype. Tools don’t impress me. Outcomes do. Oil and gas is where those systems were pressure-tested, where excuses die fast, and where results are the only thing that matters.

The Pain

The Problem Every Oilfield
Service Company Faces

Three core pain points that burn cash, waste time, and keep you locked out of the accounts that mean the most to you.

Discuss Your Targets

Inventory Sits.

Your sales team starts every Monday calling the same twelve prospects. Meanwhile, OCTG piles up in warehouses and operators you've never contacted are cutting million-dollar POs with competitors.

"Your warehouse isn't a museum."

Spray-and-Pray Burns Cash.

Marketing celebrates 10k impressions and a 1.5% engagement rate—participation awards in vanity metrics. Meanwhile, your competitor just closed two $1M+ multi-year deals.

"Deals don't close on Hope & hashtags."

9-Month Mysteries.

Monthly sales meetings are Groundhog Day. Same dead deals, same excuses. Half your pipeline closed with competitors months ago. Your team is chasing ghosts.

"That's not a forecast. That's a eulogy."

The Strategy

THE SYSTEM

I build strategy that holds up when things get real. When budgets get cut and the plan collides with reality.

01

Kill The Waste

I kill what can't prove ROI. Typical marketing reports impressions and engagement while burning budget on vanity metrics that don't close deals. ABM tracks to revenue. Period.

02

Focus on Accounts That Matter

Identify the 30 accounts that change your year. I build intelligence on each—who decides, when they buy. Align marketing and sales to pursue the same targets.

03

Use What You Already Have

I'm not here to inflate headcount. I redirect your existing team and optimize existing tools. I train them to run this like a machine. Then I leave.

The Math of Failure vs. Growth

Avg Energy Sector Spend 3.2%

Most oilfield service companies still rely on relationships, handshakes, and referrals to carry growth. That works until it doesn’t. When markets tighten, this is where momentum quietly dies.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAKES 7.0%+

Breaking into new, high-value accounts in North America requires deliberate investment. Not more noise. Not more activity. Focused effort aimed at specific targets.

THE SALES-HEAVY TRAP

MKTG (30%)
Ineffective Support

Sales carries growth while marketing stays busy. Sales reps do the hard work. Marketing explains the results. The outcome is predictable.

The Transformation

Focus Chasing thousands of random leads Targeting 30 accounts and the buyers inside
Approach Shotgun (spray and pray) Sniper (precision)
Efficiency 70% Sales / 30% Marketing (Siloed) 100% Alignment (Lower CAC, Higher LTV)

PETRONAS
DECISION-MAKER

Petronas Canada

Right Person, Right Time

Identified who had contract authority and ignored everyone else. Traditional marketing would've meant social posts, blog content, and sales reps working their tired rolodexes. I went direct to the signature. Delivered a qualified SQL in weeks. Sales closed $310K because the strategic work was done: the decision-maker was already aligned. Six months of enterprise sales cycle eliminated by knowing who actually matters.

Midstream Producer

Cold Contact to $192K in 8 Months

Mid-sized producer. No existing relationship. I identified their Environmental Manager and led with quantified savings - no capabilities presentation, no corporate overview, just dollars saved and efficiency gained. Replied in 48 hours. First contract signed 28 days later. Proved execution, earned trust, expanded into three service lines over 8 months. One precise SQL became a $192K multi-service partnership.

TOURMALINE
The WHALE

Tourmaline Oil Corp

Canada's Largest Gas Producer

Major producer. 300+ engine fleet. I targeted multiple stakeholders across maintenance, emissions, and operations. Built parallel conversations. The Maintenance Foreman and Emissions Engineer engaged, but neither could sign. Through those conversations, we identified the Operations Manager as the actual decision-maker. She closed a $41,600 pilot. Proved execution flawlessly. Now the conversation is about their full fleet for 2026-27. Potential seven-figure expansion because we found who actually mattered and delivered on the pilot.

Operational Protocol

I BUILD IT. YOU OWN IT.

This is not a retainer agency. I do not believe in golden handcuffs. I build the weapon system, train your personnel to operate it, and transfer full command to your internal team. Dependency is a weakness. I eliminate it.
