FUD. Fear, uncertainty, doubt.I first learned about this sales and marketing tactic – which is aimed at influencing perceptions by highlighting potential negative outcomes – early in my career when working with big tech companies.An example – nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.Then later in my career when I worked with cybersecurity companies, I saw the tactic on steroids.But I always wondered – is this really the most effective way to treat our potential customers? Is this customer-first marketing? Is there a better way?So I rejoiced when I saw an anti-FUD lesson in a recent podcast guest application. To hear that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to B2B fractional marketing executive Nick Lagalante.Lessons from the things he madeConsultative selling sharpens your messageYou don't need to scare people to sell them security (FUD vs. value-driven messaging)Research-driven rebranding preserves valueGenuine partnerships redefine tech PRCollaborative creativity sparks breakthrough campaignsStrategic internal comms empower brand resilienceDiscussed in this episodeThe 8 Micro-Yes Architecture that Drives Conversion – Join us on Thursday, May 8th at 1 pm EDT for the latest session of MEC200: Design Your Offer [https://join.meclabsai.com/design-your-offer] (from MeclabsAI, MarketingSherpa's parent company).

If you run a trade business and get your work from other businesses, not individual people, then you need to be doing business-to-business marketing. Before you dismiss marketing and say you don't do it, consider this: you're doing some form of marketing, or you wouldn't get any business.And for most businesses, business to business marketing is required. Say:- If you're a builder specialising in architectural work, architects and designers can refer work to you.- If you do front-end work, you might call designers, state managers, and even target customers directly. - If you do work with government agencies, subcontract to builders, or work controlled by property managers.All these people (employees or owners of businesses) are either in control of awarding work or have influence. So if you're someone who works with those types of companies you need to be engaging in business to business marketing. You need to be calling these people, and forming relationships with them. Not just once but repeatedly - nurturing these relationships so you can get repeat work. Want help? Check out this week's video then get the guide. --------------------------------------If you're interested in growing your trade business, head over to our website and you can read some more of these Tradies Toolbox Tips: https://www.smallfish.com.au/trades-business-coaching/Book a money-maker call: https://www.smallfish.com.au/chatFOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau

CTO Series: Bridging Innovation and Strategy as CTO of CrateDB With Sergey Gerasimenko

CTO Series: Sergey's Leadership Insights—Bridging Innovation and Strategy as CTO of CrateDB   In this BONUS episode, we sit down with Sergey, the forward-thinking CTO of CrateDB, to unpack his journey from Nokia to CrateDB and his leadership philosophy that blends technical expertise with strategic foresight. We dive into the key moments that shaped his career, the challenges of scaling technology in a competitive market, and how Sergey aligns his team's efforts with broader business goals while staying adaptable in an ever-evolving tech landscape.   The Defining Moment in Sergey's Leadership Journey   “Being a cheerleader, servant, and strategist for your team creates an environment where innovation can thrive.”   Sergey shares how working at Nokia with an inspiring people manager, Sotiris, influenced his leadership approach. Sotiris embodied servant leadership and made strategic thinking a team-wide responsibility. Sergey reflects on how this mindset helped him approach his current role at CrateDB, emphasizing the importance of not only building great products but ensuring they resonate in the market through thoughtful sales and marketing alignment. “The best leaders help their teams see what's next—not just solve today's problems.” Navigating Product-Market Fit for Technical Products “For technical products, adoption is not just about features—it's about connecting with both developers and decision-makers.”   Sergey breaks down the challenges of achieving product-market fit for developer-centric solutions like CrateDB. He explains the dual approach of engaging both top-down decision-makers, like CTOs, and bottom-up developer communities. By drawing from his startup experience, Sergey underscores the importance of building trust and delivering a developer experience that wins over early adopters.   “The real challenge is bridging the gap between leadership adoption and the developers who use the product every day.”   The Impact of AI on Developer Experience “AI's true transformation lies in how it enhances the products we already use, often invisibly.”   When asked about AI's current role, Sergey reflects on the potential of AI-powered tools to transform workflows over the next few years. While not yet life-changing for his daily routine, he anticipates that AI's influence will soon be felt through the optimization of background processes in everyday tools and databases.   “The future isn't about flashy AI features—it's about smarter tools that simplify complex workflows.”   Aligning Tech Strategy with Business Goals “A strong strategy needs to be a story that teams can rally around and imagine themselves in.”   Sergey details CrateDB's unique approach to strategic planning, inspired by open-source RFCs (Request for Comments). Instead of rigid OKRs, they craft stories that clarify priorities and invite feedback from across the organization. He highlights the importance of quarterly check-ins and building checkpoints to validate assumptions along the way.   Key tips in this segment: Document the assumptions behind the strategy. Break initiatives into steps to test their feasibility. Avoid deadline-driven development; focus on value-driven milestones.   Fostering Collaboration Between Tech and Business Units “Collaboration thrives when both sides understand the trade-offs involved in strategic decisions.”   Sergey explains how collaboration between engineering and business leaders is fostered through transparency and communication. Product managers and engineering leads play key roles in advocating for priorities and ensuring alignment across teams. Sergey emphasizes the value of making trade-offs explicit to avoid silos.   “The best partnerships between tech and business come from mutual understanding—not just of goals, but of constraints.”   Staying Ahead with Strategic Roadmapping   “A good strategy diagnoses the situation, sets guiding policies, and outlines coherent actions.”   Sergey highlights the importance of competitive intelligence in staying ahead of market trends without reacting impulsively. In the world of databases, long adoption cycles offer the advantage of thoughtful strategic planning. He references the book Good Strategy/Bad Strategy and describes how CrateDB maintains an evergreen list of initiatives that can be prioritized when needed.   “Don't just chase trends—create a strategy that withstands change by focusing on long-term coherence.”   Overcoming the Challenges of the CTO Role   “The CTO role is often ambiguous—define it based on your organization's needs.”   Sergey candidly discusses the challenge of imposter syndrome and the ambiguity that comes with the CTO title. He outlines two common archetypes: the technical expert versus the team builder and cultural leader. He stresses the importance of adjusting the role to the organization's maturity and goals.   “Your leadership role isn't static—adapt your approach to meet your organization where it is.”   Books That Shaped Sergey's Leadership Approach   “Most tech problems are people problems disguised as engineering issues.”   Sergey shares the books that influenced his leadership style: Peopleware by Tom DeMarco: Reinforces the idea that technical challenges often stem from team dynamics. Drive by Daniel Pink: Highlights the importance of autonomy, mastery, and purpose in motivating teams. Good to Great by Jim Collins: Explores what makes some companies thrive while others stagnate. About Sergey Gerasimenko Sergey is the innovative CTO of CrateDB, leading the charge in real-time analytics and hybrid search. Previously, he was VP of Engineering at MongoDB, shaping the edge device strategy, and at Realm, a leading open-source mobile/embedded database acquired by MongoDB in 2019. With a career spanning groundbreaking roles at Brainly and Nokia, Sergey co-founded two companies and holds a patent. His leadership continues to push the boundaries of tech innovation.

"One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore."That quote is from Nobel Prize winning novelist André Gide. And I think there is a great lesson for marketers here.For 25 years, MarketingSherpa has published case study articles. And sometimes when I talk to marketers, they are so myopically focused on just the case studies from their industry.We're an ideas profession.

When I started in B2B, my mentor told me, “We call this business to business, but make no mistake, people buy products, not businesses. It's people who make decisions for these businesses.”Here's where the rubber meets the road. If you're only focused on businesses as accounts, you're overlooking opportunities.For example, as our latest guest shared in his podcast guest application, “Track when your customer champions change jobs.”To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I spoke with Matthew Bowman, VP of Strategy, GTM, and Growth Marketing, ACT [https://www.acttoday.com/]. ACT is a 100% employee-owned company with 12,000 employees and 23 offices around the world.In Bowman's previous role, he oversaw a team of 32 direct and indirect reports and a budget of $3 million.

Salesforce.com is THE leader among their peers (11 straight years) in Customer Relationship Management solutions.   Phil Nanus leads Salesforce's Customer Success organization, a team of over 2000 employees.  He shared invaluable insights into how Salesforce is revolutionizing customer success through innovation, trust, and technology.  Here are my 3 key takeaways from our conversation: - **Embrace Technology for Customer Success:** Salesforce is leveraging AI to enhance customer experiences and improve sales; their collaboration with Gucci is a great example. The rise of AI and generative AI paves the way for more personalized and efficient customer interactions. - **Core Values Drive Success:** Salesforce's commitment to values such as trust, innovation, equality, and sustainability is foundational. Their one-one-one philanthropic model (donating 1% of time, products, and profits) and V2MOM document, ensure alignment and a clear vision across the organization. - **Passion and Lifelong Learning:** Phil's advice to university students is gold – find your passion and be a lifelong learner. Passion fuels opportunity, and embracing failure is crucial for growth and learning. Phil shared a number of practical applications on how you get to be “Technology Led and Customer Obsessed” on this episode of The Delighted Customers Podcast. Phil Nanus is the Executive Vice President of Account Success within Salesforce's Customer Success organization.

I like to call it blandvertising. I'm sure you've read it and heard it before.There are words. Lots of them. They fill a space – in an ad, on a landing page, in a press release, maybe even in a keynote presentation.You've seen these words before if you're in the target audience. Scalable. Leading. Agile. Enterprise-grade. Full-service. Data-driven. Cross-platform. Seamless.They seem to say something, but you're left walking away…not really understanding and certainly not believing anything at all.I feel like my career is a battle against blandvertising. Which is why I loved this lesson in a recent podcast guest application – ‘marketing goes beyond buzzwords.' Perhaps I found a fellow traveler on the journey.So I sat down for an in-depth discussion with Marco Mueller, CMO, AVEVA (https://www.aveva.com/).AVEVA was a public company until it was acquired by Schneider Electric last year. Schneider Electric is a public company and reported 36 billion euros in revenue in 2023.Mueller has had up to 800 people reporting to him in his career.

Coders are rewarded for writing new features, not for making their code as efficient as possible, Chirstopher Mims recently reported in The Wall Street Journal. According to the article, bloated software raises many risks, and costs the US alone $2.41 trillion due to cybersecurity issues, operational failures, and other problems.It would be easy for me to sit here and point the finger at software developers, but are marketers any better?

“We can say that. Sure we can say that.”Oh, I do not like having to utter this phrase in meetings. Because it's not what you can say, it's what you should say.I've heard so many times ‘we can say that in an ad.' Or ‘we can write a press release about this.' Oh, the hubris in that statement.Because we get lulled into false confidence in the four walls of our offices, when we think we can make a payment, and put whatever we want into ads or press releases or on websites.Sure, I guess technically you can. You can write those words down. It's not illegal. No one will stop you. Media companies and ad networks will glad take your money for that placement. But should you?Because the ultimate decider is the customer. So no matter what you pay to say, no matter what you can say, the customer will decide whether you should say it. Which is why I loved this lesson from a podcast guest application – ‘Never underestimate the power of your customer.' It doesn't matter if you have a fancy title or massive media budget, the customer has far more power than you.I talked to Erika Lovegreen, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, ICUC (https://icuc.social/) (a Dentsu agency), to hear that story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories.ICUC is a Dentsu agency with a team of 450.

It might sound like a bold take from a juror on LIA's package design jury, but Prerna Mehra suggests that while package design should be bold and attractive, it's the innovation in its purpose and afterlife that has led to stand out work this year, a theme which Amy Carvahal on LIA's inaugural Creativity in Business-to-Business jury agreed with. She told host Chris Smith that the work that has her jury talking is how brands are considering the afterlife of a product, and then using that information to sell their product on. Amy also said that Business to Business has a reputation of being boring, but in fact, “it's a fascinating new category; what people are identifying and defining as B2B is so the opposite of boring.”Continuing she says, “we are able to allow businesses and brands to see untapped potential.” Guests: Prerna Mehra, Head of Design/Content Director, MullenLowe MENA, Dubai Amy Carvajal, Chief Creative Officer, Code and Theory, New York Credits: Host: Christopher Smith, Co-founder and CCO, Plot Twist Creativity, Dallas Producer: Sarah Knights, Eardrum Music: Brian Yessian, Yessian Music Manager: Laurissa Levy, London International Awards Production Company: Eardrum

It applies very well to my job, as someone who wants to create awesome content, yes, but also lives in the constant reality of deadlines.In this episode, Cordula Pfluegl, Marketing Director, TNW (https://thenextweb.com/), shared the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories.TNW, which stands for The Next Web, is mostly known for its annual tech conference hosted in Amsterdam but is also a media company writing about technology with 1 million monthly readers. TNW is a Financial Times company. I'm sure you've heard of the 130-year-old newspaper, and it probably stuck out to you if you ever saw it, as the pink newspaper. FT is owned by Nikkei, Inc., which reported 175.2 billion yen in sales last year.For the lead-up-time to the conference, Pfluegl oversaw a team of 10 people, including the event-focused marketing coordinators and the company's brand team of designers and content creators. When marketing the annual TNW Conference, they created over 2.8 million organic impressions with user-generated content on LinkedIn alone, in the two weeks around the event.Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingSome lessons from Pfluegl that emerged in our discussion:Working in various industries and for different brands/products (D2C/B2B) makes you a better and more versatile marketer overall.Having built a big community doesn't mean you will be able to monetize itPractice 'in-company' and 'across-team' learning togetherHaving a clear purpose will always guide the wayMarket localization is importantDone is better than perfectRelated content discussed in this episode6 Good (and 2 Bad) B2B and B2C Value Proposition Examples (https://marketingexperiments.com/value-proposition/6-good-2-bad-b2b-b2c-value-proposition-examples)Launch and Learn: How marketers can keep up in a real-time world (https://marketingexperiments.com/social-marketing/real-time-marketing)Pfluegl's Substack (https://thisisjusthestart.substack.com/)About this podcastThis podcast is not about marketing – it is about the marketer.
