Deep dives
Elimination of Low ROI Activities
Google ad spend, LinkedIn ads, performance marketing advertising, and national conference trade show booths have been identified as low ROI activities that companies should consider eliminating due to their inefficiency and poor returns on investment.
High ROI Activities
Webinars have been identified as one of the highest ROI activities, outperforming national trade show booths due to their lower costs and scalability. Additionally, organic social content has shown strong performance compared to paid marketing initiatives.
Signal-to-Win Ratios
Analyzing signal-to-win ratios has revealed that specialized signals like pricing requests on the website lead to higher conversion rates compared to general signals like cold leads from platforms such as Zoom info or eBook downloads.

By engaging in live events, posting content on LinkedIn, answering sales calls, and iterating on proposals, businesses can continuously refine their messaging based on real-time feedback and insights from customers.
Engagement for Narrative Refinement
