The most common thing I hear from B2B marketers?“Why don't our leaders get what we do?”“Why don't they respect my time?”In this episode, I'm sharing a fresh way to reframe how you see your leaders - inspired (weirdly) by Harvey and Louis from Suits.Because what I've learned is this:It's not always about you.Most of the behaviour that frustrates us from the top comes from their own story - not yours.Inside my course, B2B Breakthrough Academy, we go deep on this - not just the strategy building side, but the mindset shifts that help you show up with clarity, confidence and get heard by leadership.

If you've been struggling to know what to focus on to get respect and results in your b2b marketing job, this episode has got the answers you need!Learn more about B2B Breakthrough Academy

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to drive change and adapt as a B2B marketer in an evolving business landscape. My guest is Christian Klepp, Co-Founder of EINBLICK Consulting and Host of the B2B Marketers on a Mission podcast.  Christian is a global citizen, entrepreneur, podcast host, and B2B branding expert with over 13 years of experience across diverse markets. Throughout his career, he worked with major global brands like Philips, Caterpillar, Samsung, and Logitech.  He is a true "third-culture kid." He grew up in Austria, the Philippines, Singapore and China - and is currently living in Canada, giving him a multicultural perspective and ability to bridge East and West. In 2019, Christian took a leap of faith and co-founded his own B2B branding and marketing consulting firm called EINBLICK. He's also the host of the popular "B2B Marketers on a Mission" podcast, where he interviews talented professionals in the B2B space and provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge insights with the B2B community. Being a regular listener of his podcast inspired me to invite Christian to my podcast. We explore why marketing isn't optimally leveraged inside many B2B SaaS companies. He shares insights from well over 100 podcasts on what marketers should do differently to increase alignment and buy-in across the organization to make a larger impact. Last but not least, he explains how to avoid complacency in marketing and how, by leveraging different perspectives, the company can stand out more and increase resilience to adapt faster to market change. Here's one of his quotes The way that marketers need to deal with addressing buy-in is they need to understand how their organization works. How does your company generate revenue? Where is the most revenue coming from? Which industries? Which customers? Do you understand what EBITDA is? Because if you don't understand, you better start learning about it quickly because that's what your board cares about. During this interview, you will learn four things: How to turn marketing into a core driver for the business.  How to get insights that matter beyond just interviewing customers. How to approach podcasting strategically, get instant value, and what to prioritize first to get going. How to go about analyzing competitors' strategies to further strengthen differentiation.
