If there ever was a time to move beyond surface-level buyer personas built on assumptions and demographics, it's now. B2B buyers have taken control and AI has irrevocably shifted the buying process... In this interview with C2 Media , I share my diagnostic framework for B2B buyer personas in a 2-part process, talk about why we miss engaging buyers because we start too late, how I use AI and a new tool I've been testing for building semantic connections. Some key points to think about as we move into 2026: 🔑 Build personas to expose buying group dynamics 🔑 Discover what questions each persona must answer to move forward 🔑 Create content for connection rather than consumption 🔑 Start engaging at status quo so you're the anchor when the trigger hits 🔑 Design Continuums, not standalone campaigns 🔑 Use AI strategically but do the work you're best at > writing with a strong, human POV and emotional resonance 🔑 Strive to create semantic connections that help AI gain the context to choose you as the answer...and its recommendation Consider that AI hasn't lowered the bar for buyer understanding. It's raised it. Thanks, Enricko Lukman , for a great way to wrap up 2025! https://lnkd.in/gFWx8ZZC
I’ve stopped using AI to write things for me. Conveying my thoughts accurately is too important.
