Choose just two key channels to start—whether it's LinkedIn ads for B2B or industry events for networking—and focus on mastering those.

B2B business development has become increasingly complex, with companies finding it harder than ever to drive growth.One of the biggest challenges? Many organizations have shifted their investments down the funnel—hiring more sales and BDR resources—while pulling back on marketing. Yet, buyer behavior has evolved in the opposite direction. Today, buyers are forming their shortlists and making decisions before ever speaking to a sales rep. This means if your brand isn't investing in marketing, you're not even making it into their consideration set.To grow revenue, companies must excel across four critical stages:✅Awareness: They must have heard of you✅Affinity: They must like you and believe you can solve their challenges✅In-Market: They must be ready to buy ✅Engagement: Then they talk to your sales team, who still needs to beat the competition and win the deal At RBMA: Revenue Based Marketing Advisors, we help businesses scale growth effectively and efficiently.

They explored how to build a compelling business case using historical data, manage the change process effectively, and guide your organization through a mindset shift, and gave insights on the phases of GTM transformation and how to influence leadership buy-in. Key Takeaways: Transitioning from lead gen to demand gen involves understanding current state, obtaining leadership buy-in, and segmenting changes into manageable phases. A deeper focus on demand creation, in addition to demand capture and conversion, helps companies sustainably grow their market share over time. Leadership alignment and clear communication, bolstered by data-backed business cases, are essential for successful change management.

Chris shares his bold perspectives on the evolution of B2B marketing, highlighting the need for customer-centric strategies and challenging conventional practices like attribution modeling and demand generation. He explores the role of CMOs in bridging business outcomes with marketing execution and discusses how marketing must adapt to meet the demands of modern go-to-market structures. From innovative mental models to actionable strategies, Chris delivers thought-provoking insights for marketers and executives looking to drive growth and build sustainable systems.Key TakeawaysCustomer-Centric Marketing is Essential: Chris emphasizes listening to customers to extract patterns and validate insights, making marketing strategies more aligned with real-world needs.Demand Creation vs. Brand Awareness: Demand creation goes beyond awareness, focusing on making customers understand their problems and prioritize solutions—a step critical for B2B success.Flaws in Attribution Models: Attribution should not be a political tool for assigning credit but a resource for answering critical business questions and improving outcomes.The Evolving Role of CMOs: CMOs should focus on business KPIs rather than departmental silos. Splitting brand-building and pipeline creation functions could lead to better alignment and results.Balancing Art and Science in Marketing: Marketing strategies should integrate creative approaches with data-driven processes to adapt to different stages of business growth.The Power of Process and Scale: Early-stage businesses thrive on creativity and agility, but as companies grow, systems, data, and processes become critical to sustain and scale operations.Show LinksVisit PassettoConnect with Chris Walker on LinkedInConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterPast guests on The Long Game podcast include: Morgan Brown (Shopify), Ryan Law (Animalz), Dan Shure (Evolving SEO), Kaleigh Moore (freelancer), Eric Siu (Clickflow), Peep Laja (CXL), Chelsea Castle (Chili Piper), Tracey Wallace (Klaviyo), Tim Soulo (Ahrefs), Ryan McReady (Reforge), and many more.Some interviews you might enjoy and learn from:Actionable Tips and Secrets to SEO Strategy with Dan Shure (Evolving SEO)Building Competitive Marketing Content with Sam Chapman (Aprimo)How to Build the Right Data Workflow with Blake Burch (Shipyard)Data-Driven Thought Leadership with Alicia Johnston (Sprout Social)Purpose-Driven Leadership & Building a Content Team with Ty Magnin (UiPath)Also, check out our Kitchen Side series where we take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made at our agency:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean SEOShould You Hire Writers or Subject Matter Experts?How Do Growth and Content Overlap?Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/

When was the last time you took a hard look at how disconnected your “customer insights” really are from the people you're aiming to serve? For years, companies have banked on traditional research firms and analyst reports, hoping these broad-stroke insights will guide their GTM strategies. These methods serve a general narrative – not the nuanced truths that drive real connection and real value. I fell into the same trap myself once. I'd rely on this filtered, “aggregate” data and call it good. But the more I engage directly with the people who matter – the end users, the practitioners – the more I realize: The traditional analyst model is fundamentally broken. And no one's ready to admit it. In the SEASON 3 kickoff of Audience 1st Podcast, I'm sitting down with Ben Siegel, GTM expert, former Gartner exec, CEO and Founder of The CyberNest, and partner in crime, to dive into a major shift in how cybersecurity companies connect with their buyers. We're challenging the old-school analyst model, pushing past generic reports and stale data to champion DIRECT relationships with the people who matter—security practitioners. We'll explore why hands-on research like interviews, focus groups, and community-led conversations are game-changers for your GTM strategies. This conversation might very well be the wake-up call we ALL need. Are you ready to break out of the echo chamber?

In this week's live event, Chris is joined by Jacco van der Kooij, founder of Winning by Design, to discuss the nuances of running your Go-to-Market strategy as a revenue factory. The session kicks off with discussions on the pivotal role of GTM and how the focus has shifted towards growth, efficiency, and sustainability in today's economy. Jacco draws from his vast experience to explain how businesses need to transition from a 'growth at all cost' mindset to one that emphasizes unit economics and sustainable scaling. The episode covers essential concepts such as the "revenue architecture framework," the importance of GTM efficiency, and the measurement of net new ARR. Jacco provides a comprehensive explanation of how companies can adopt a factory model approach to their GTM strategy. He discusses the significance of production lines and the categorization of high-touch to low-touch models, and how these can be leveraged to drive cost-efficient, scalable, and durable growth. The conversation also touches on common hurdles faced by companies, the declining availability of IPO slots, and the impact of market dynamics on revenue generation.

How much of the realities of your business do you want your audience to see? The truth is, there are benefits to baring it all.Especially when you're a startup, showing your trials and tribulations endears your brand to viewers. It feels raw and real and trusting. It's a way to build an audience of dedicated fans. And in this episode, we're learning about this kind of radical transparency from Jeremy Clarkson.Known in the car world for his shenanigans and quick wit on the show The Grand Tour, Jeremy Clarkson is now learning how to farm on his new show, Clarkson's Farm. He's doing what we call “building in public,” and showing viewers what it's really like to grow a farm from the ground up. That's one of the things we're talking about this week on Remarkable with the help of our special guest, Co-Founder & SVP of GTM Strategy at Passetto, Sidney Waterfall.Together, we talk about the benefits of building in public, using comedic tropes to add humor to your marketing, and transitioning your audience to a new POV. About our guest, Sidney WaterfallSidney Waterfall is the Co-Founder and SVP of GTM Strategy at Passetto. She's a sales and product-led B2B SaaS Marketer that transitions marketing teams from MQL's to revenue. Prior to her current role, Sidney served as SVP of Growth at Refine Labs. She has also previously held marketing roles at Ally.io, Trupanion, Simply Measured, Microsoft and Verizon.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Clarkson's Farm:Build in public. Show the real, raw moments with your audience as a way to be transparent and build trust. Sidney says, “Share your experience to connect with your audience and become relatable. [Jeremy Clarkson] was known in the car world. He has a huge audience. He's trying something else. So he's like, ‘I'm just going to show the real raw moments.' And they do on the show. They show exciting moments, they show frustrating moments. I think that is becoming more popular in the B2B space. People are sharing their journey of building a company or building a product or using a product, and they're being a little bit more transparent with the ups and downs of that, even when they're marketing to a certain ICP.” She adds, “I think that helps content really resonate with people and that helps people build audiences and brands build audiences through that type of strategy.”Add humor by using comedic tropes. Sidney says, “Good writing or copy stands out with a bit of humor. And wit is very effective.” Ian adds, “There's a comedic lesson there any time you have a fish out of water. You take someone who knows nothing and put them with a bunch of people who know lots of stuff.” It's like how Jeremy Clarkson doesn't know anything about farming and he's surrounded by farmers trying to help him work his land. Viewers are also learning while watching the show, so it's a great way to edutain as well.You can transition your current audience and acquire new audience members from a new POV or a new niche. Jeremy Clarkson will draw viewers from his previous show, The Grand Tour, to his new one, Clarkson's Farm, because he's built a name for himself. And he'll also gain new viewers who are interested in the concept of his new show. So some will have been interested in cars, some in farming or homesteading, others in Jeremy Clarkson as a personality. Sidney says, “This is applicable to my current situation of going from one brand that was very well known with a huge founder brand, and now standing up another company underneath that same founder.” She says, “We have an incredible audience to use and leverage. So really positioning our founder's brand as multiple businesses. And he's talking to a different level of audience than he previously was. So from his content strategy, we're changing up who the content is targeted for. And then on the side of that, it's like, ‘Okay, how do we build the brand of Passetto outside of the founder at the same time as we start to scale so that people in the market know the difference between Refine Labs and Passetto?'”Quotes *”One of the things that I thought you did so well at Refine Labs was naming the problem with something specific. To say, ‘Dark social is the thing that is happening. And here is how you go attack it.'That is the part of thought leadership that just frames the audience so quickly into solve and learn mode, and is super important. You have to find the thing that's going to resonate, and be easy to say and easy to understand.” - Ian Faison*”[Jeremy Clarkson] is definitely the main character, what kind of makes the show. And I relate that to marketing as, like, that's the founder brand, or like, that's like the face of the company or the spokesperson. And he's been able to take his massive audience and transition some of that over, but also acquire a new audience into his brand. But he's still being very true to himself, his personality and his character. It's like rinse and repeat what he was doing over in the automotive space in this new space.” - Sidney WaterfallTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Sidney Waterfall, Co-Founder & SVP of GTM Strategy at Passetto[2:28] About the Creation of Clarkson's Farm[4:01] Jeremy Clarkson's Farming Journey[7:50] Showing the Realities of Farming[20:39] Marketing Lessons from Clarkson's Farm[24:12] Using Comedic Tension in B2B Marketing[25:46 How to Transition Audiences with a New POV[27:50] Building a Brand Outside the Founder[28:47] Sidney's Content Strategy and Execution[36:00] The Importance of Thought Leadership[40:40] Sidney's Favorite Content Projects and How She Proves ROI[46:51] Sidney's Advice for Other Marketing ProfessionalsLinksConnect with Sidney on LinkedInLearn more about PassettoAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode, Jake dives deep into the intricacies of the second 'C' of his 4 Cs framework: Current Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy, emphasizing the crucial role of aligning marketing and lead generation teams. He highlights the stark reality that only 9% of teams hit their outbound targets last year, and more than half of sales reps expected to miss their quotas, underscoring the urgency to address this "bleeding neck problem." Jake sheds light on the importance of strategic integration between marketing and lead generation efforts, ensuring that both teams work towards common objectives with aligned strategies, messages, and metrics.

Many businesses are oblivious to how out of whack their Go-To-Market strategy is. In this solocast, Jim Barnish explores three critical opportunities for businesses that are out of alignment with their GTM strategy. Some of what Jim gets into: Trust Your Product Leads: Both CEOs and product leads understand customer pain points and the market. Yet sometimes a CEO makes decisions based on their gut, not data, while a product lead often has more direct access to customers and data, and thus a more in-depth understanding. Don't overlook the knowledge of your product leads! Build a SINGLE Revenue Team: If your sales and marketing teams are not on the same page, you're going to run into roadblocks. You need one one revenue team. Yes, they'll have different functional objectives, but they'll have the same overall goal—creating revenue and meaningful value for customers. Third opportunity? You'll have to listen to the podcast!
