Want a real marketing plan that doesn't live in your head or on a bunch of sticky notes?There's something powerful about experiencing world-class customer service firsthand and then turning around and asking, “How can I bring this level of intentionality into my shop?” That's exactly what happened when Brian and Kim Walker took a dream trip to the British Virgin Islands with close friends. What started as a much-needed vacation quickly turned into a masterclass in customer experience, delivered by locals who clearly understood the value of creating moments worth remembering.From the high-energy, fully branded Sweet Ice Willie who made them feel like family, to a rum-slinging boat captain with a loyal dog and a serious social media game, to a beach bar owner who somehow remembered names hours later in a crowd of 100 each story is a reminder that it's not always the fanciest place that leaves the biggest impact. It's the people. The vibe. The way you're made to feel.This isn't just vacation talk, it's packed with real-life takeaways for shop owners who want to stand out in a sea of sameness. You'll laugh, you'll probably want to book a trip, but more importantly, you'll walk away inspired to examine every touchpoint of your customer journey. Because at the end of the day, the experience is the marketing.Thank you to our friends at RepairPal for providing you with this episode.

Are you a teacher, homeschool hybrid leader, or microschool founder who feels overwhelmed by marketing your school? You're not alone—and you don't need to become a full-time marketer to attract the right families. In this episode, we're diving deep into the real, raw struggles of building a microschool from the ground up—juggling curriculum, enrollment, communication, and finances—while trying to find students who actually belong in your program. Makenzie shares the exact struggles she faced in Years 1–3 of launching her microschool—from having no enrollment system, no marketing consistency, and no follow-up strategy—to finally unlocking the systems that grew her school from 6 to 12, then 18 students in her living room… to 50… and now over 100 projected. If you've ever thought: “I'm not a salesperson.” “Marketing feels awkward.” “I just want to help kids and make a difference.” Then the Microschool Marketing Blueprint was made for you. This step-by-step course is packed with the foundational systems every microschool or homeschool hybrid needs to enroll students with confidence—and implement real growth strategies in as little as 3–6 weeks. Whether you're in Year 1 or stabilizing in Year 3, this is the marketing mentorship you've been praying for.

How culinary strategy, entertainment programming, and influencer partnerships are being reimagined. And how the smartest marketers are building brands and balancing performance expectations—sometimes on a shoestring budget. Jason also shares his journey—from Wisconsin to the DR—and what he's learned leading marketing across both institutional hospitality groups and independently owned gems. Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.

Rational thinking might drive economics, but emotional behavior drives decisions. And no one understands that better than Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational, a book that's reshaped our assumptions about how people make decisions.In this episode, we're unpacking key lessons from Dan Ariely's work with the help of our special guest, Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from setting the right expectations, why fewer choices close more deals, and how the power of “free” and fear of loss can drive serious retention.About our guest, Leslie AloreAs the SVP of Marketing, Leslie Alore leads Flexera's marketing strategy with an aim to create great experiences and outcomes for our customers.Her passion for people and technology—combined with more than 15 years of marketing leadership in the tech space—has established her as a successful, results-driven executive who enables teams to do their best work.Prior to joining Flexera, Leslie served as the Global SVP of Lifecycle Marketing at Ivanti. Before that, she held various marketing, operations and GTM strategy roles at Iron Mountain. Leslie is an active speaker and mentor in the GTM community, and has been recognized among “Top Women in Marketing” by Ragan Communications and “Women of the Channel” by CRN.Leslie holds a BBA in Management, and an MBA with a concentration in Strategic Leadership from Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Predictably Irrational:Set expectations to shape reality. Great marketing doesn't just reflect value, it creates the conditions for it. Leslie highlights how expectations shape reality. When buyers believe something is good, they interpret every detail through that lens. This isn't about manipulation, it's about clarity and consistency. Leslie says, “The effect of expectations… believing beforehand something is good, therefore it will be or the reverse.” So stop hoping your audience connects the dots. Tell them what to expect, then deliver on it. Perception isn't a bonus, it's the foundation.Shrink your options to speed the decision. Too many options stall progress. The paradox of choice tells us more isn't better, it's paralyzing. Leslie urges marketers to curate the path forward: “You actually want to give people fewer options and take control of the options that they see.” Don't just join the shortlist, define it. When you narrow the frame, you speed up the decision for your customers. Turn “free” into staying power with loss aversion. There's magic in “free,” but the real power lies in what people fear losing. Once someone uses your product, whether it's a freemium tool or an ungated resource, they've invested. Now there's skin in the game. Leslie puts it simply, “People will overvalue something that's free and ignore kind of the trade-off costs associated. And loss is psychologically painful. We don't want to lose that, which we already have.” Whether you offer software, content, or services, create early wins. Then make the cost of leaving feel higher than the cost of staying.Quotes*“ There's many organizations that lean into that power of positivity…What's very interesting is that consumer brands do this a lot very, very well. B2B organizations tend to do almost the opposite. They tend to lean more into FUD. And that's a harder road to tread.”*“ If you're an organization that is selling software, the software is designed to provide a business outcome. It's designed to solve a business problem. Instead of focusing on, here's the business problem. Doesn't that suck for you? You can say, ‘here's the solution.*“You have the power, you can feel confident about your ability to achieve X, Y, Z because you've solved this problem.' It's saying the same thing, but orienting it in a positive way and being very, very, very consistent in that message. Beat that drum over and over and over again.”*“ Narrow down the competitive options for them. Your sales process will move faster. You will be able to take better control of the narrative if you say, ‘this is us and these are the two other vendors that look like us. And here's why we are different and better, and here's what you can expect from these guys.' And that doesn't mean saying negative things about them. It's just highlighting your strengths and your virtues.”*“People are willing to accept trade-offs for something that is perceived to be free…This is the exact reason that PLG, product-led growth, is so powerful. Because if you can get people in the door with some sort of freemium offering, people will actually work harder to do the legwork to get a free product to work and interact with it, than they might be willing to put in for something that they have to go pay for. And then once they have it and they've put in the work, they don't wanna lose it.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Leslie Alore, SVP of Marketing at Flexera[00:56] Why Predictably Irrational?[02:20] The Role of SVP of Marketing at Flexera[02:47] Understanding Predictably Irrational[09:56] B2B Marketing Lessons from Predictably Irrational[37:49] Cognitive Dissonance in Buying Behavior[42:17] Emotional Marketing in B2B[46:18] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Leslie on LinkedInLearn more about FlexeraAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This episode features an interview with Avi Bhagtani, CMO at Digitate, a company that leverages machine learning and AI to intelligently manage IT and business operations.Avi discusses their success with regional, curated events and how they are investing in AI experiments. He also shares insights into how they are leveraging AI to optimize the website. Key Takeaways:Many successful events are curated, smaller and regional. Marketers who can meet their customer expectations and create networking opportunities with peers will pull ahead. The world of the traditional funnel is gone. The buyer journey is much more user dependent. Buyers have more agency and the journey has become very fast. The speed that generative AI can move when it comes to updating the website and launching ABM campaigns is already astonishing, and will only get better. Marketers should be leveraging these tools to move faster. Quote: “In the last one year, we have experimented with at least 12 to 15 new tools, either for finding our prospects or distilling our signals or increasing productivity with AI, right? Some of them have worked. Some of them have failed miserably, just the nature of the business today. But fortunately, we are doing this going in all eyes wide open, right? We know that some of these things are just gonna work. Some of these things have, you know, they have a little bit of a longer runway that they need to give you the results you want. Some of these just don't work, right? So that's where the majority of the investments are focused on today.”Episode Timestamps: *(03:07) The Trust Tree: Finding every avenue to intercept prospects*(09:06) The Playbook: Consistency of messaging over time*(31:31) The Dust Up: Answer what marketing will do for other functions*(33:48) Quick Hits: Avi quick hitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

The Senior Care Industry Netcast w/ Valerie V RN BSN & Dawn Fiala
Send us a textEver wondered why some healthcare marketers effortlessly secure meetings while others struggle to get past the front desk? This eye-opening training demonstration reveals the stark contrast between ineffective and successful approaches when engaging facility gatekeepers.Through a revealing side-by-side comparison, we expose common mistakes that doom marketing visits before they begin: disheveled appearance, lack of preparation, overlooking the receptionist's identity, and failing to differentiate your services. These seemingly minor errors signal disorganization and disrespect, creating barriers that even the best services can't overcome.The transformation begins with simple yet powerful adjustments. Professional presentation immediately elevates credibility. Learning and using the receptionist's name creates genuine connection with someone who influences access. Coming prepared with organized materials and business cards demonstrates competence. Most critically, clearly articulating what makes your service different addresses the facility's specific needs rather than adding to their pile of generic marketing materials.What resonates most powerfully is the reminder that receptionists are valuable team members deserving respect, not obstacles to bypass. As noted in the training: "That person at the front is very important and they are ignored." This perspective shift fundamentally changes the dynamics of facility visits.Whether you're new to healthcare marketing or looking to improve existing approaches, these practical strategies will transform your facility visits from frustrating rejections to productive relationship-building opportunities. Watch now to discover how small changes in your approach can open doors previously closed to your organization.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

Ever feel like you're doing all the right marketing things but still hitting a ceiling in your home inspection business? You're not alone. In this exploration of innovative marketing strategies, we dive deep into how Coco Chanel's revolutionary approach to fashion provides a perfect blueprint for home inspectors looking to stand out. What made Chanel remarkable wasn't that she completely shattered conventions—she simply bent them in ways that felt both novel and familiar. She designed pants for women when they only wore dresses, but maintained femininity in the design, creating something revolutionary that still felt accessible.This same principle applies perfectly to our inspection businesses. When we follow standard marketing playbooks—regular social media content, professional websites, office presentations—we can build successful companies up to a point. But breaking through plateaus requires thoughtful innovation. The most successful inspectors I've encountered find that sweet spot between the familiar and the novel, like the southern inspector who became his market's go-to professional by offering radon testing when no competitors did.The conversation explores practical ways to implement this "Chanel approach" in your business through both service offerings and marketing presentation. We examine when to innovate (start with just 10% of your marketing), how to identify opportunities others miss, and—crucially—how to avoid innovations that seem exciting but lack market demand. For every successful Coco Chanel, countless others failed by introducing concepts people weren't ready for.Ready to break through your business plateau?

"It's not about throwing tech or SDRs at the problem. If your teams aren't aligned, your content isn't differentiated, and your ICP isn't predictive, you'll keep spinning your wheels. ABM has to be a full go-to-market motion not just better targeting.” Kristina Jaramillo In this episode of Revenue Boost: A Marketing Podcast, titled Beyond ABM Platforms: How Predictive ICP and GTM Alignment Drive Revenue Results Kerry Curran sits down with Kristina Jaramillo, President of Personal ABM, to dive deep into the real meaning of an account-based go-to-market strategy (GTM) and why tech platforms alone won't fix your revenue challenges. Kristina reveals why many B2B teams misfire with ABM—treating it as a marketing campaign or demand gen add-on rather than a full-funnel revenue strategy. She breaks down: The difference between segment-level intent and predictive ICP How to build messaging that teaches for differentiation not just against competitors, but against the status quo Why content needs to align with enterprise priorities, not just pain points How to activate and align sales, marketing, and customer success for long-term customer value Why expansion and retention need the same strategic rigor as net-new acquisition Whether you're in SaaS, services, or B2B tech, this episode will help you rethink how your team is going to market and who you're truly built to serve.
