Alan Gleeson
[05:32] “But, in marketing, what you're trying to understand is where you should allocate your focus. It's a tricky function; you're endlessly overwhelmed.”
[05:45] “You're looking for patterns to try and see where you should prioritize.”
[13:07] “The big trick in B2B SaaS marketing is resource prioritization.”
[16:03] “They're probably thinking it's an easier problem to solve than it is.”
[18:13] “Google will get rewarded from an attribution point of view, be it a search organic, or a director, be it in a paid point. But it's the offline piece that's triggered.”

[08:21] “It's tough for us to determine where it's [attribution] coming from. That's why I said we're kind of struggling with it ourselves."
[22:12] “With something like this that is so technical, you have to stay on top of it. If you're an early-stage software leader, you have so many things you're doing, you have so many hats you're wearing, so many irons in the fire, that trying to put a bunch of focus right here on this thing is super difficult.”
