Bio:
Kimberlee Vollbrecht, President of V2 Strategies, has built a name as the Pipeline Plumber. Just like the plumbing in your house, your sales pipeline needs periodic maintenance – and the occasional upgrade – to keep running smoothly.

Her philosophy is simple: If it doesn’t work for you … it doesn’t work. Her pipeline solutions are based on each company’s unique customer insights, fit their sales and marketing process, and support longer-term goals and objectives. They’ve helped an independent caterer double sales from her email newsletter, an IT services firm set up a customer-intelligence system to support inside sales, and a coaching enterprise automate the prospect-to-satisfied-client journey.

When she’s not providing clients with success solutions, Kim loves time spent with her family and friends, nature walks with her rescue pup Roxie, and activities that center on solving mysteries or putting puzzle pieces together. As a child, she’d start jigsaw puzzles from the inside out, creating a picture from individual pieces that naturally fit together. That ability to see connections first, and then assemble the picture, has helped her successfully build coalitions, shift opinions, and drive sales throughout her career.
