Venture In Consulting
Leadership & Sales Development
Helping professionals find greater connection on the path to higher sales and more connected, empowered leadership.
At Venture In Consulting, we understand the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach.
Instead of trying to fit the mold of other sales approaches, we specialize in crafting tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each company's employees and the distinct profiles of their clients.
Our process begins by meticulously studying the existing habits and culture within an organization and its leadership. Armed with this understanding, we design customized plans aimed at fostering organic, accelerated growth and adoption.
Our Process
-
We embark on a journey together to identify the pivotal skills we aim to build and refine during our training sessions. Through a series of concise yet effective discussions and brainstorming sessions with your team members, we tailor our approach to create a solution that embodies the essence of your organization. This process fosters a sense of ownership, ensuring seamless integration and sustained adoption.
-
With the blueprint of your desired outcome in hand, we set out to craft a bespoke deliverable that aligns perfectly with your vision. Leveraging the insights gleaned from our discovery phase, we develop tools and resources that seamlessly integrate into your company's workflow, solutions, and cultural ethos, providing your teams with a robust framework for success.
-
Having agreed upon a timeline during our discovery phase, we orchestrate a dynamic and focused delivery that caters to your company's unique needs, events, and priorities. Our sessions are designed to be high-energy and interactive, offering ample opportunities for real-time application and practice, ensuring maximum engagement and impact.
-
Our commitment to your success extends beyond the initial delivery phase. Following the primary training, we provide a wealth of follow-up resources and coaching opportunities. We have observed that dedicated coaching sessions post-delivery significantly enhance learners' retention and empower them to apply their newfound skills confidently in their respective environments.
Connection
We pride ourselves in our ability to create a welcome learning environment for all audiences. We’re also advocates for helping my clients build connections with their teams, with their clients, and perhaps most importantly, with themselves.
A Holistic Approach to Learning
Our approach to teaching and learning comes with a human-first lens. We strive to help leaders and sellers build confidence by encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone and practice skills that will cultivate their growth and challenge them to find their unique “superpowers.”
Growth Mindset
In our approach to coaching and training, we encourage learners at all levels to keep an open mind and positive attitude when it comes to their ability to change through practice, initiative, and perseverance. We do this by encouraging critical thinking and self reflection during the feedback process, because even when we are “experts” in certain areas, there is always room for growth and improvement.
Hi, I’m Marita!
I began my career in a sales role that allowed me to dive right into conversations with C-Level executives of Fortune 500 companies. After mastering the art of strategic and consultative sales as an individual contributor, I had the opportunity to lead teams in the Americas and APAC markets who were responsible for portfolios with nearly $10 billion in total revenue.
Several years ago, I decided to lean into my passion for sales mentorship and teaching and have found my ultimate purpose of empowering leaders and sellers in organizations with a desire for greatness.
With over a decade of experience in professional sales, leadership roles, managing teams across the globe, and teaching sales across various industries and company landscapes, I’ve witnessed just how impactful and empowering a sales career can be. I know what it takes to master the art of sales, and now, I’m excited to help empower more sellers and leaders to gain confidence and find a more strategic, intentional approach.
This is how Venture In came to life!
I founded Venture In by blending my passion for leadership, sales, collaboration, and connection.
In my work as a sales leader and consultant, I have established a reputation for cultivating inclusive learning environments and connecting effortlessly with audiences across all levels of an organization.
I bring my unique experience from being “in the field” and managing teams to my training audiences, integrating my personal experiences with my passion for teaching sales excellence.
My portfolio includes engagements with companies spanning from small teams to multinational corporations, where I’ve adeptly navigated various sales and leadership styles to deliver impactful results.
It’s my mission to share my knowledge through holistic teaching practices and to collaborate with companies seeking to elevate their sales organizations and implement programs to elevate their leadership culture, especially those with limited internal resources.
At Venture In, we focus on…
“Demystifying” sales, becoming a true strategic advisor, and deepening the influence and impact that you’re having on the person in the buyers’ seat.
Building the confidence to be a leader in your field, a confidence that you can carry with you both inside and outside of the workplace.
Learning how to use YOUR impact and unique skill set as your superpowers.
Bridging the gap between “who you are” and “what you do.”
Establishing a level of confidence that allows you to take control of your outcomes, reduce stress, and amplify your impact.

What People Are Saying
“Marita is one of the most thoughtful, talented, innovative and collaborative people I've ever had the privilege to work with. She directly coached and led hundreds of individuals onto successful sales careers at Gartner through leveraging her extensive experience, her genuine positivity, and determination to help others be the best version of themselves. As a facilitator, she is vibrant, magnetic, and engaging; and as a coach, she is honest, inspiring, and dedicated to ensuring her people feel supported and confident in executing for success.”
— Colby Plott
“Exceptional. That is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Marita's performance, maturity, and ability to impact internal & external stakeholders. I can confidently say that Marita makes a tangible impact on those around her. As a true testament to her ability to motivate & lead people without directly managing them, I have often heard her colleagues say, "I need to follow the career path that Marita had'' or "If I could work with Marita, that would be a dream."
