Let’s speed up time a bit: It’s summer 2022. You’re headed to your first in-person B2B Marketing conference since way back when — and you’re a bit rusty at navigating event complexes. As a result, you’ve gotten yourself good and lost. The first person you ask for directions starts screaming something that sounds like trigonometry at you. He’s soon joined by another helpful human who bellows calculus at you. Then, an opera singer with a bullhorn offers her assistance in a piercing Bavarian falsetto. Suddenly, you realize: These must be B2B marketers and you must be in the right place after all. Today, I’m joined by Mike Pastore, Director of Custom Content at Technology Advice and host of the B2B Nation podcast, who shares how marketers can better understand the B2B buyers’ journey and help guide buyers along the way — without merely trying to shout over the noise. Join us as we discuss: The nonlinear nature of the buyers’ journey Why reaching buyers is about simplifying complexity The power of storytelling and thinking like a buyer Now that you know how to navigate the B2B buyers’ journey, are you ready to use data to prevent revenue leaks in your business or learn how to build trust and confidence with your content strategy?

You’re in college and (other than the vaguely threatening hairspray bills your Mötley Crüe tribute band has racked up) things are going pretty well. You passed that calculus class you’ve been worried about all semester — and managed to forget basic arithmetic before the celebration keg was even cracked. If forgetting is so much easier than learning, even in academia — how can you ever expect to upskill a whole organization? You know you can’t just give up. Especially when it’s something everyone needs to know — like data.

It’s the mid-70’s and you’ve just purchased your first new car — a Ford Pinto. The commercials convinced you that this car was built to survive a demolition derby, while the salesman in the lounge suit convinced you it didn’t matter that you couldn’t drive stick. Now you don’t know what’s worse — grinding the gears and stalling every 200 yards or that the bike messenger who bumped into your fender last time you did sent the entire car up in flames. Could anything make you trust a brand’s content (or yourself) again? If anyone could, it would be today’s guest, Margot Bloomstein, author of Trustworthy and Brand & Strategy Consultant at Appropriate, Inc, who joins the show to discuss how effective content strategy is for building customer confidence and trust in your brand.

You’re throwing an office party now and you need to get noisemakers, silly hats and confetti. You know you can find all of these things on Amazon, but lately, you’ve also been fielding increasingly-aggressive office visits from a door-to-door party clown from the local clown college trying to sell you all of these very items — and he warns that, if you don’t, you’re a terrible manager and hate puppies. Who do you go with… and why is it Amazon? Today’s guest, neuroscientist Dr. Terry Wu, Owner at Neuromarketing Services, says you choose Amazon not because of John Wayne Gacy or the movie IT, but because our brains are wired to love buying but hate feeling like we’re being forced. This is just one of many examples Dr. Wu shares in the latest episode of how neuroscience influences buying behavior — and how understanding the science helps you make a sale. We discuss: The difference between helping a customer buy and selling to them The power of framing when it comes to buying decisions How freewill — or lack thereof — plays into buying behavior And be sure to check out: Terry’s speaking  Terry's company's consulting services  Terry's 17-minute TED Talk on Neur omarketing Terry's 5-minute interview with Big T hink on Stress and Shopping Addiction Now that you know why the brain buys, are you ready to learn how to foster human connection to build high-performance teams, or how to overcome buyer resistance?

There’s no more spontaneous conversation. No more office culture. How do you build human connection in a digital world? Today, I’m speaking with Tony Martignetti, Chief Inspiration Officer at Inspired Purpose Coaching and Author of Climbing the Right Mountain, about how to foster real human connection remotely and how to nurture high-performance teams.
