We're Not Marketers The Anti-ICP Strategy: How To Use Your Website to Fire Bad Prospects w/ BX Studio
Product marketers think they own the messaging. SEO thinks they own the traffic. But who actually owns your website—and why are they both probably wrong? In this spicy debate with BX Studio, we dig into the turf war destroying B2B websites, why your CEO is the real problem, and the radical idea that maybe your website should actually reject leads (yes, really). Buckle up for hot takes on keyword worship, the death of MQLs, and why your Rolex store strategy is all wrong.
Featuring from BX Studio...
Jacob Sussman, CEO
Nikiya Griffith, Director of Organic Growth
