In the B2B tech industry, we often celebrate the brilliant engineers and technical experts who launch groundbreaking products. But what happens when these same individuals suddenly find themselves in the CEO’s chair?
In this episode of The B2B Revenue Executive Experience, host Cory Cotten-Potter is joined by Pete Steege, the Founder of B2B Clarity, to unpack the challenges of the “accidental CEO” and help technical founders successfully transition into strategic leadership roles.
What You'll Learn:
- How to transform from a technical expert to an effective CEO
- The Truth Chain Framework for identifying your company's core purpose and ideal customers
- Why relationships are the foundation of B2B business success and how to nurture them effectively
- Why simplifying messaging and removing obstacles is more effective than adding features
- How to build authentic connections by focusing on customer value rather than technical capabilities
