  • If you want more customers to buy your product or service, you need to build trust with them first. Trust that you won’t let them down, that you will deliver the outcomes expected, and that they won’t regret their decision for choosing your company.

    Companies that are focussed on ‘selling the meeting’ don’t build trust. In an effort to look for the ‘needle in the haystack’ that’s willing to buy from you now, their hungry SDR team churn and burn the market. Ever downloaded an eBook and had a sales team call you non-stop for the next few months?

    Doesn’t build a great deal of trust does it?

    (We go deep into the problems with ‘selling the meeting’, the Predictable Revenue modelling and why it’s hurting your business in pt.1 of our mini-series).

    But how do you build trust? Is it through content? Events? Ads?

    We have a system that you can use to consistently build trust with your prospective buyers, which is a key part of your revenue engine.

    Today we are sharing step 2 of our framework to create complete end-to-end organizational alignment. This is the solution to start driving a much more efficient acquisition system.

    Step 2 is all about building relationships with your target customers and getting them to buy from you.

    + The 4 components to building trust

    + How to accelerate the trust building process

  • If you're a CMO, CRO or Head of Sales, you should be asking yourself: how can our teams work better together to drive more revenue, in a more efficient way?

    We've come across so many organizations that have bloated methods for acquiring customers. They're loaded to the brim with hungry SDRs who have 'book the meeting at all costs' as their mandate. They've handcuffed marketing and reduced them to 'lead gen' to feed the sales machine.

    The result? A 'spray and pray' method that doesn't work unless you have serious cash to burn. Marketing, sales and customer success are incentivised to behave in ways that compete with each other. A poor customer experience. And a high level of churn and dissatisfaction at customer success.

    To answer your prayers for a 'better way', we've teamed up with 7x ex Head of Sales, Adem Manderovic, to bring you a combined marketing and sales system that will completely align your business. It will help you build a growth engine that allows you to win more customers for less, and reduce churn.

    It gets sales, marketing and customer success to all play on the same team.

    Today we are sharing step 1 of our framework to create complete end-to-end organizational alignment. This is the solution to start driving a much more efficient acquisition system.

    Step 1 is all about laying the foundations in place for your revenue engine before you go-to-market.

    + How to define your next best market

    + How to reposition your business to make it a 'no brainer' for future customers

  • We’ve shared our 5 BEs Demand Generation Framework with you in over 140 episodes of The B2B Playbook. That’s our ‘free, easy’ way for marketers to get started learning about what a Demand Generation program should really look like.

    But working out exactly how to implement a Demand Generation engine in your business is going to take time and considerable effort – often outside of your regular working hours.

    Even if you set out with the best intentions, Demand Generation programs are often interrupted by day-to-day requests and activities and get pushed down the priority list. But the truth is – until you have a Demand Generation program running for your business, your marketing will forever be reactive. You will never get off that hamster wheel. And you’ll never consistently contribute to pipeline.

    That’s why Kevin and I created our Demand Generation Course – The B2B Incubator. In this program, we give you the strategy, templates and tools to build your own Demand Generation engine in 12 weeks. The feedback has been amazing, and we’re so proud of the results our marketers are driving from the program (but more on that later).

    Today we’re going to share more about our Demand Gen Course, The B2B Incubator to help you decide if it’s right for you or not.

    Tune in and learn:

    + The end-to-end process for building a demand generation engine

    + Why B2B Marketing Managers, CMOs, Consultants and Demand Generation specialists love our program

    + Why you should document your demand generation engine in-house

  • We sat down with Alan Hale, president of Consight Marketing Group, to discuss the importance of voice of the customer (VOC) research for B2B companies. Alan is a true expert in the field, and he shared his insights on why customer obsession should be the North star for any business.

    According to Bain & Company, only 21% of B2B companies identify and act on customer insights. That's a shockingly low number, and it's one of the main reasons why so many businesses fail to succeed in the marketplace. VOC research allows you to make better business decisions, minimize the risk of failure, and differentiate yourself from the competition.

    Alan breaks down the right way to conduct VOC research, emphasizing the importance of taking an outside-in approach and truly understanding your customers' needs, pain points, and expectations. He also highlights the limitations of relying solely on surveys and why qualitative research is crucial for gaining deeper insights.

    Tune in and learn:

    + The 80/20 rule: Why you should focus on your best customers

    +The 10-30-90 rule: Continuous customer touchpoints for success

    + Practical examples of how VOC research has helped businesses thrive

    Whether you're a marketer, business owner, or anyone interested in understanding your customers better, this episode is a must-watch. Alan's wealth of knowledge and real-world examples will open your eyes to the power of customer obsession and the potential pitfalls of marketing malpractice.
