Needle, The Chief Executive Officer and Principal at ANNUITAS. Adam joins Casey today to challenge the misconception that a well-thought-out go-to-market strategy guarantees success. Furthermore, quality over quantity is crucial in lead generation. Rather than focusing on the volume of leads, it's essential to have meaningful insights about potential clients. Moreover, organizations don't need a CMO; they need integrated marketing functions. Demand elements, product marketing, and brand communications should align with relevant departments.

Carlos Hidalgo was guest number 122 on "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" in Novermber 2015, At that time he was the founder and CEO of ANNUITAS and was leading the 10 year old company through amazing growth. Then a year later he decided he had to make some hard choices, and decided to walk away from the company to choose a different life for himself and his family. Can a CEO of a successful company really walk away? Carlos did just that. He told his board in October, and 4 months later told the world. What surprised him the most was how many other CEOs, Founders, and C-Level Executives reached out to him and said "Tell me more about how you did that". This episode is a must hear for every entrepreneur who feels they have their ladder against the wrong wall. It is common for people to merge their identity with their career, and get buried in the "busy". If that sounds like you (or someone you know), check out this interview. After leaving the company Carlos founded VisumCx. Hes has 20+ years of experience in leading organizations who are dedicated to meeting the demands of their customers by enabling the delivery of exceptional customer experience. VisumCx takes a hands-on approach to the assessment, development, implementation and measurement of customer experience programs. VisumCx does not look to consult with our clients; rather he partners with clients to ensure they can capitalize on his background and competitive advantage. http://www.visumcx.com @cahidalgo on Twitter.

Carlos Hidalgo, CEO and Principal of ANNUITAS, and show host Jeff Julian address these topics and more on this episode of the Enterprise Marketer Podcast, Conference Edition.If the past five years has taught us anything, it is that Sales and Marketing departments need to have closer alignment than ever before.

In this episode, we dive into topics like measurement, systems and process integration, demand generation, and effectiveness of marketing efforts. We also take a look at the customer journey and how the decision-making process in a B2B transaction is more in line with our own personal purchasing habits than it is the sales funnel.We hope this show will help you think outside the box when it comes to an upcoming marketing effort your team has.If you liked this show and the others, I would encourage you to give us a review and a 5-star rating on iTunes.
