Bullseye Marketing: How to Grow Your B2B Business Faster 2nd Ed. by Louis Gudema About the Book: Do you want to accelerate the growth of your B2B company? In Bullseye Marketing, you'll learn how to develop, launch, and scale a successful marketing program for your B2B company. Louis Gudema focuses his Bullseye Marketing Framework exclusively for B2B companies in this second edition. The first edition was named One of the Best Marketing Books of All Time by Book Authority. I have written a new foreword in which I say, “Over the past decade-plus, for my Marketing Book Podcast I've read nearly 500 excellent marketing and sales books, cover to cover. As you can imagine, with that many titles under my belt, so to speak, the range of authors and quality of titles is considerable. Louis Gudema's original Bullseye Marketing is one of my favorites. This new edition is even better.” At the strategic level, readers of Bullseye Marketing will learn the three-phase Bullseye Marketing Framework that prioritizes the fastest, most cost-effective ways for B2B companies to grow faster.  Louis then goes into detail on what it takes to successfully implement close to two dozen marketing tactics, providing hundreds of tips, best practices, and examples for successfully executing B2B marketing campaigns.  While many companies put too great of an emphasis on short-term lead generation, in this second edition Louis presents research around the importance of long-term building of a company's brand and its mental availability to optimize long-term business growth.  He also provides evidence of the importance of creativity in building mental availability, and many examples of creative B2B marketing that go beyond the more typical product-centric marketing seen by many companies. The book also includes interviews with nationally-known marketing and sales leaders Ann Handley, Scott Brinker, Evan Kirstel, Gini Dietrich, Jeanne Hopkins, Jim Ewel, James Carbary, and Zorian Rotenberg, and new case studies. About the Author: Louis Gudema helps B2B companies build their brands and generate leads as a fractional CMO and marketing strategist. He also mentors MIT startups as part of its Venture Mentoring Service, and since 2015 has led an annual marketing boot camp for the MIT startup community.  Louis previously founded a marketing agency serving enterprise companies such as IBM and the Boston Globe. He then pivoted it into a SaaS company and grew it into one of the top companies in its national market before a successful exit. He has acted as vice president of business development at two mid-sized marketing agencies. For several years, Louis was the head of the executive committee for Boston's Sales and Marketing Innovators professional association. Louis speaks frequently on marketing and business at regional and national events and has written for leading business sites including The Harvard Business Review, MarketingProfs, IDG Connect Marketer, Chiefmartech, Venture Beat, The Content Marketing Institute, and Econsultancy. And if that's not enough, he also ghostwrites and co-writes business and marketing books. And, interesting fact - he grew up on a farm in Illinois, and he has won poker tournaments - at casinos!  Click here for this episode's website page with the links mentioned during the interview... https://www.salesartillery.com/marketing-book-podcast/bullseye-marketing-2-louis-gudema

Building Own Social Media Community at CCA Event “I'm seeing a tremendous appetite for digital content,” says Evan Kirstel. In this podcast, Kirstel, a very prominent social media influencer and observer of the telecommunications industry discusses social media in what he describes as “building a community of interest” around products, services, and brands. In an era where people are increasingly disdaining traditional sales approaches, Kirstel argues that companies should take a fresh approach to customer outreach. Kirstel offers a blend of approaches that combine the personal in person touch with the power of social media. Going to a customer and just simply learning about their business, hearing about their challenges, but refraining from selling them on such a visit, is part of the picture. But then Kirstel says, “… shine a spotlight on it.” Share the experience on social media. These are steps towards a different sales posture where one is a citing more like a trusted advisor, a technology partner than a vendor trying to push products. Such a visit might not only strengthen a relationship with a specific customer but become more visible in an entire local sector. “Do you know who's who in your community,” challenges Kirstel, offering the insight that businesses need social media visibility, and targeted social media visibility. Cloud Connections 2023: Building Own Social Media Community In this podcast, we hear about the forthcoming Cloud Connections 2023 Conference coming up in January 2023 in Fort Lauderdale. “This is the place to be,” noting how cloud has shoved aside many competing technology platforms and that the Cloud Communications Alliance is the premier cloud communications group. Kirstel will be hosting a session on Building Your Own Social Media Community. It's a must go to,” adds Kirstel. Kirstel also discusses his upcoming participation at ITEXPO and Enterprise Connect.
