Never miss a new episode: https://sendfox.com/lp/mnyll3How can marketers help their companies stand out in the sea of sameness?“We discovered that everyone is telling a similar story. They’re using the same words, the same product descriptions, the same jargon, the same ‘Why us?’ story…” These are results of the research that Stacey Danheiser and Dr. Simon Kelly performed for their new book: “Stand out marketing: How to differentiate your organisation a sea of sameness”. When every company sounds the same, customers end up confused about why to choose your product / solution over another and they often just choose the cheapest option. Instead of tackling this root problem, companies just keep doing more… More advertising, more social media, more content, more cold calls...But how can marketers help their companies overcome this? It turns out, ‘copycat marketing’ is completely avoidable. Tune in to learn about the 5 key competencies that you and your team need to develop in order to help your organization stand out, add more value to customers and uplevel your career.

It's not affordable for SMBs.We are not that advanced to start ABM.We don't have enough resources to create personalized content for all buyer personas.ABM is not scalable.Actually, it doesn't surprise me.99% of ABM content is produced be enterprise Martech vendors, where they share examples of ABM plays that require:- 6-figure stack- Big team of content creators, designers, marketers, SDRs, AEs, etc- Long timeline to orchestrate and execute the campaignAll of this is a bulls..t, and I tried to prove it with a recent case study about the ABM campaign (https://fullfunnel.io/abm-campaign/) that generated $300k in sales with $5k and 2 people.To push things further, I've invited Steve Watt, marketing director at Seismic and the author of ABM course at CXL.

Never miss a new episode: https://sendfox.com/lp/mnyll3Too much competition? Here is how a B2B company can create and market a new category. That was the topic that I got a chance to discuss with Alexander Carpentier, the CEO of Esoptra.I’m a big fan of what Andy Raskin calls “name the new game”.Instead of merely attacking the problem (as most B2B brands do), you attack the status quo, the “old game”. You are effectively naming the reason your competitors are becoming obsolete AND introducing a sense of urgency. “To survive in the newly emerging world”, you say, “what you’re doing today (and what the competitors offer) is not enough. The companies winning in the emerging world play a new game. And our solution is designed ground-up to help you win the new game.Esoptra is “naming the new game” in a world of high-value goods & services : they are introducing a category of Product-Led Communication. Tune in to learn: - How do you come up with a new category? - The problem with a new category is that your prospects are not aware of it. How to educate your market about the new category and create demand for your product? - Educating your customers takes time. How do you shorten your sales cycle?- How do you find early adopters?Thanks Alexander for nailing the topic!

Never miss a new episode: https://sendfox.com/lp/mnyll3How can you build virality in a complex B2B product — even when you’re selling to large organisations? That was the topic that I got a chance to discuss with Kaius Meskanen, the founder and CEO of Choicely on our podcast. Choicely’s doing what Wix and Squarespace did with websites — but for native mobile apps. Thanks to their tech, you can quickly build native apps without any coding. But check out their go-to-market strategy. Here’s a mistake that many B2B companies make. Because their tech could potentially be used by many segments, they try to target as broad as possible. But ‘he who chases two rabbits, catches none’. Choicely realized this early enough. They carefully chose their target segments and built their whole positioning around it.The results? An inherent viraility in their product. An easy answer to one of the biggest sales objections. And as a side-effect, they have been called by some investors “the most entertaining tech company”. I think Kaius has one of the most interesting jobs in tech, with Choicely apps powering events and shows such as Miss Universe, a football cup and a CBS talkshow.Tune in to listen to their story.
