Thank you Sean Callahan for inviting me to join my friends Andy Crestodina , Mimi Turner , Jane Bartel and Jillian Ryan in the latest feature in the ANA "B2B Marketers Face a Crossroads." My POV: Most B2B marketing is still built for the 5-10% of the people in your target market who are ready to buy right now. We inundate people with features and price points when they’re just trying to figure out how to do their jobs better. What about the other 90-95%? Building trust with them delivers better ROI over the long term. What kind of content do they prefer? Promotional product details or thought-provoking research on how to do your job better? Propaganda or inspirational stories about real people? At Workday , we’ve shifted the playbook. We stopped acting like a vendor and started acting like a media company. That means: - Focusing on eduction and emotion: We build a recurring stream thought leadership and inspiring profiles. - Making human connections: Logic might justify a purchase, but emotion builds trust. - Leading with faces. Of real people. We prioritize compelling photos and real people over corporate logos and stock images of buildings. We don’t win by shouting louder but by participating by focusing on people and their stories and in the conversations that our audience cares about. The Question: How much of your marketing is designed to make people FEEL something or THINK differently? #B2BMarketing #ThoughtLeadership #ContentMarketing #Customers #Storytelling Link in comment below.

Earlier this week, a client reached out feeling stuck (Online Coaching Business) $2.2K spend… CPL rising 47%, conversion barely 1.2% “Leads come… but they don’t convert into calls” We realigned funnel + intent → conversion hit 3.5% It’s a pattern I don’t overlook anymore
