It stands to reason that the most effective content is content that's informed by data. Specifically, data about what customers value about a company's products and services. The better you design a piece of content to speak to the specific needs, desired outcomes, and preferences of the people you're trying to sell it to, based on what you learn from your current customers, the better that content is likely to perform. Actually doing this, though, is easier said than done. My guest today is here to share her process for infusing content with valuable product user and product lifecycle data.

Interviewing is easy, right? You just ask a bunch of questions, record the answers, and that's it. Of course, if you're a regular listener or if you know me at all, you know that's not true. Interviewing at a high level is an art & a science, involving complexities that are hard to appreciate until you encounter them. For example, people in positions of power, such as a CEO, are often very careful during interviews to not say the wrong thing. And so they lapse into corporate jargon and blandly recite the company's purpose and mission statement. As the interviewer, though, that's not what you came for. You want the real thing. But how do you get beyond the corporate facade and get the interviewee to open up?To help us unravel this puzzle, my guest is Dean Nelson, founder and director of the journalism program at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, founder and host of The Writers Symposium by the Sea, and author the book Talk to Me: How to ask better questions, get better answers, and interview anyone like a pro.The B2B Content Show is brought to you by Connversa, helping busy CEOs and business owners create a month’s worth of difference-making video content in 60 minutes.

4 years ago, when I started Connversa, I built a website using Wix, the drag and drop DIY website platform. But I felt a little weird about it, because I had it in my head that REAL websites are built on Wordpress ... AND that a website I built myself just wasn't good enough. And so, after a few years, I hired a company to build me a real, professional Wordpress site. But did I HAVE to do that? Maybe, instead of paying a lot of money to get a brand new website, you can opt for hiring someone to improve your current site.To help us work through this, my guest today is Niki Clark, founder and CEO of Niki Clark Marketing.The B2B Content Show is brought to you by Connversa, helping busy CEOs and business owners create a month’s worth of difference-making video content in 60 minutes.

We all know that case studies are among the most useful kind of content any B2B company can have. According to the 2023 SaaS Marketing Case Studies report, from Uplift Content, SaaS marketers ranked case studies as the most valuable type of content to increase sales. Other reports have found similar results in other industries. But the Uplift report also found that only 12% of SaaS marketers are very satisfied with their case studies. So, there's apparently lots of room for improvement. To help us understand how companies can produce better case studies, my guest is Emily Amos, founder and CEO of Uplift Content.The B2B Content Show is brought to you by Connversa, helping busy CEOs and business owners create a month’s worth of difference-making video content in 60 minutes.

The basic idea of content marketing is to publish stuff that's not all about your products and services but instead about your audience, their problems and pain points. At this same time, though, content DOES need to point to, or maybe gesture towards, your brand and your solution. Which can be tricky. How do you create content that's not so product and brand focused as so come across as overtly sales-y, while at the same time making a clear connection between the educational content you're publishing and your brand. To help us unpack this challenge, my guest is Dale Harrison, founder of Inforda Life Science Services, a life sciences marketing agency.The B2B Content Show is brought to you by Connversa, helping busy CEOs and business owners create a month’s worth of difference-making video content in 60 minutes.
