In this episode, Vassilis Douros and Marc Binkley unpack the messy reality of B2B buying, following a thought-provoking conversation with Jann Schwartz and Mimi Turner.They explore how buying decisions are rarely rational or linear—shaped instead by shifting group dynamics, emotional “jobs to be done,” and the human need for trust and validation. Drawing from personal experiences with software purchasing, they highlight why buying groups don't map neatly to org charts, why deals often stall due to misalignment rather than product fit, and how brand fame works differently for large versus niche players.The discussion also dives into what this means for B2B marketers and creatives alike—from building awareness to navigating the unique challenges smaller brands face when competing with established giants.Enjoy the show!Our Guests:Mimi Turner: Head of Marketplace Innovation, LinkedIn LMShttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mimi-turner/Jann Martin Schwartz: Senior Director of Marketplace Innovation, LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janns/Follow Our Updates⁠⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sleeping-barber/https://www.sleepingbarber.caGet in touch with our hosts:Marc Binkley: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcbinkley/Vassilis Douros: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vassilisdouros/TakeawaysB2B buying is a complex and relational process.Emotional components play a significant role in decision-making.Buyers often carry the blame for failed purchases.Buying groups should ideally be small and focused.The onboarding experience can impact perceptions of a product.Understanding emotional jobs to be done is crucial for marketers.Creative strategies must align with the emotional journey of buyers.Brand awareness is essential for niche products to compete.The buying process involves multiple stakeholders and perspectives.Marketers need to navigate political capital within organizations.Chapters:00:00 - Navigating the Complexities of B2B Buying02:38 - The Emotional Weight of Decision Making05:19 - The Role of Buying Groups in B2B07:55 - Understanding Emotional Jobs to Be Done10:30 - Creative Implications in B2B Marketing13:00 - The Importance of Brand Awareness in Buying Decisions15:23 - Integrating Products in a Buying Ecosystem

In dieser Episode begrüßt Host Florian Vette den E-Commerce-Experten Andreas Lotz, Director Amazon Europe bei der Electrolux Group, zu der bekannte Marken wie AEG und Electrolux gehören. Gemeinsam sprechen sie über die Herausforderungen und Strategien, um Haushaltsgeräte erfolgreich auf Marktplätzen wie Amazon zu verkaufen. Es geht um zentrale Themen wie die Abwägung zwischen Brand Awareness und Performance Marketing, die Rolle von Retail Media sowie den Einfluss von Marktplätzen auf die gesamte Customer Journey. Besonders spannend: Immer mehr Konsumenten beginnen ihre Produktsuche direkt auf Amazon, während sie für größere Anschaffungen nicht selten physische Touchpoints im Einzelhandel nutzen. Wie begegnet Electrolux diesem hybriden Kaufverhalten? Ein weiteres Kernthema ist die Bedeutung von Installationsservices im Online-Handel. Andreas erklärt, wie Electrolux gemeinsam mit Amazon die Services für Großgeräte optimiert hat – von der Lieferung über den Anschluss bis hin zur Verpackungsentsorgung. Dabei wird deutlich: Eine reibungslose Customer Experience ist entscheidend, um Kunden langfristig an die Marke zu binden. Abgerundet wird das Gespräch mit einem Blick auf die Organisationsstruktur von Electrolux im Marktplatzgeschäft: Wie sind Vendor- und Seller-Modelle aufgeteilt? Wie optimiert Electrolux die Supply Chain gemeinsam mit Amazon? Und wie sieht die Zukunft von Marktplätzen in der Haushaltsgerätebranche aus?

We want to put as many shots up as possible, but we want to have calculated shots. We want to take them with low budgets… I'll make a bet and I'll start it very cheaply.” — Chris Cunningham“The only way it's really going to scale is if I brought in an expert... I took a bet that all companies would have content creators if they wanted to compete. They'll have some kind of creator that creates content for them consistently.” — Chris Cunningham“Content's just another task, right? Like anyone can make excuses. So if you're just not making content, it means you don't prioritize it. We prioritize it.” — Chris Cunningham“The dividends content rewards with is nuts. The amount of people I've met, the people who DM me and just what I'm learning… There's no reason not to make content.” — Chris Cunningham“If I had to start over and I'm at a new company—we're building in public... No actors, just talking about what we're working on. At the end of the day, I would just ask for like 5-10 minutes of all the early employees: what did you do today? And find a cool, clever way to chop it up. That's exactly what I would do.” — Chris Cunningham“You need to know your ICP. If you're creating content and you don't know who you're creating for, you really just lost the whole goal right there.” — Chris CunninghamShow notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicChris Cunningham - Head of Social Marketing at ClickUp

"Online kannst du kein Sofa fühlen. Der Tenniscourt ist für uns ein Pop-up-Store, den wir nutzen wollen, um neue Zielgruppen zu gewinnen." Westwing, die E-Commerce-Marke für Beautiful Living, ist ins Sport-Sponsoring eingestiegen. Für das Engagement standen viele Sportarten zur Wahl, doch: "Tennis als Premium-Sportart passt perfekt zu den Design Lovern von Westwing!" Nun ist das Interior Unternehmen erstmals strategischer Partner von zwei bedeutenden deutschen Tennisturnieren: Der Terra Wortmann Open in Halle und der Hamburg Ladies Open am traditionsreichen Rothenbaum. Die designgetriebene Aktivierung ist innovativ und geht über ein normales Branding hinaus. Denn Westwing ist "die erste Marke, die sich nicht auf die Spielerbank setzt, sondern diese auch selber herstellt und produziert." Doch welche Ziele und vor allem welches Budget steckt dahinter? Wie lässt sich die Turnieraktivierung digital verlängern? Warum ist eine TV-Kampagne hierfür zeitgemäß? Und wann sind die Tennis-Kooperationen überhaupt ein Erfolg? Unser Gast Fabian Möbius, Sponsoring-Verantwortlicher bei Westwing Unsere Themen Wie hilft Sponsoring bei der Brand Awareness? Running, Cycling, Basketball, Football: Warum kein Zielgruppen-Fit?

Sales gets a dirty scammy rep but the truth is, if you can't sell people you can't help people. Charging people is not immoral, it's required for their success. If you have a good product or service, you have an obligation to be good at sales. I've closed over 2.3 million in sales and only had $7,000 in refunds which is .3% of total sales. Unheard of in my industry. “If your product or service is good enough it sells itself” is such a lazy approach to business. When it comes to most clietentel, they have limiting beliefs around spending money on themselves, mom's and women especially. A tip I have for sales that a lot of people miss: bridging the gap. In this episode, I'm going to explain how a lot of people fuck up sales by talking about themselves too much and not enough about solving their potential prospects problems. We'll also talk about what to look out for during the call and how to personalize your program for what they want in real time.   Time Stamps:   (0:13) If You Can't Sell, You Can't Help (2:16) 50 Dollars A Month For Online Coaching Back In The Day (5:00) Why You Should Listen To Me (8:02) I Was Not Good When I Started (10:51) Bridging The Gap (14:30) Initial Questions (17:00) What Do They Want To Achieve?

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is having to do everything yourself, especially at the start. Stefan recounted his experience of managing cross-functional tasks such as marketing, finance, and sales simultaneously. He described physically going from venue to venue during the day and then working until midnight on administrative tasks like paying invoices and cash flow forecasting What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Stefan Di Benedetto stated that his favorite business book that has helped him the most is "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. He mentioned that the book reminds him of similar situations he has gone through in his business, such as taking risks and experiencing financial difficulties, and it provides him with a lot of motivation. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Stefan Di Benedetto mentioned that he doesn't really use any online tools for his professional development. Instead, he listens to a lot of business-related podcasts.

Stefan Di Benedetto recommends using Xero as a key tool to grow a small business. He emphasizes its value in helping business owners understand their numbers, which he believes is crucial for making informed decisions and sustaining growth.

This combination, according to Stefan, provides clarity and supports smarter business decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? On day one, Stefan Di Benedetto would tell himself, “It's going to be hard.” He admits he was likely naive about the challenges of his new industry, especially compared to his previous experience in consultancy and construction, where he felt more confident.
