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. He is currently in a startup role where he is scaling up the marketing teams.While seemingly simple, Bowman says these lessons served as part of the foundation for his creating an international department that generated $1.6 billion in revenue over 11 years' time:Message trumps channelTrack when your customer champions change jobsInterview your customersWatch for unintended consequences of strategic initiativesPrioritize with the RACE (Return, Amplitude, Conviction, Energy) Method of decision makingGenerate buzz with guerrilla marketingFoster a positive and productive atmosphere to optimize team performanceDiscussed in this episodeBuild an artificial intelligence strategy that helps you produce more revenue in an AI Quick Win Intensive [https://intensives.meclabsai.com/] (from MarketingSherpa's parent organization).

Riccardo sits down with three nominees of The Women's Infrastructure Network (WIN) Canada WIN Awards: Divya Shah, Tamara Vrooman, and Kimberly Doran.Despite working in senior roles in a male-dominated industry not designed for them, the panelists have achieved success and professional recognition.

Along with expanding professional networks and securing sponsorships, these three leaders in major programmes share their hopes and actionables for women, and allies, in the industry.“We're just talking about infrastructure, which is about design and about building things and about the future. Yet, we really need to design our organizations for that future. And what I find is a lot of the time we're trying to put women into roles that were not designed for us…We have to change the way that we design our organizations so that they're fit for the purpose that we want them to serve, which is to get more diverse people, including women into leadership roles, particularly in an area like infrastructure.” — Tamara Vrooman Key Takeaways:The hesitancy of failing, the importance of taking risks as a woman in megaprojectsHow do we empower women to get into decision-making roles; rewriting roles designed for men  Taking mentorship further with sponsorship Divya Shah is the Managing Director at the Canada Infrastructure Bank, leading investments in trade, transportation, and critical minerals. With 18 years in project finance, Divya shapes investment strategies, oversees business development, and manages financial structuring to asset management.

Think of some of the most memorable and effective marketing campaigns through history, it took creative brains to pull them off.But creativity without execution never sees the light of day. And history is littered with great creatives who were never able to get it done.Which is why a lesson from our next guest is so valuable no matter what role you have in marketing – “process is the foundation for success.”Not flashy or glamorous, but certainly essential.I talked to Shruti Joshi, COO, Facet (https://facet.com/), on the How I Made It In Marketing podcast to hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories.Facet raised $165M+, led by VC firms like Warburg Pincus and Durable Capital.  Joshi oversees the sales, marketing, planning and member experience organizations, a total team of 180. Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingSome lessons that emerged in our discussion:Process is the foundation for success.Data is the decider.Authenticity matters.There's no substitute for mastery and grit.To get an entire organization to follow a concept and execute as intended, the concept(s) must be simple.There will never be a good time to do this, just get it done.Create a meaningful people-first culture.Bring vulnerability and emotion into the workplace.Related content mentioned in this episodeValue Sequencing Decider Graphic: What do your customers need to know, and when do they need to know it?

I mean touching your nose close. Way too close.What do you read? Nothing. It's all a blur, right?Now hold it at a comfortable distance. Everything comes into focus.This is the perfect analogy for a challenge many marketers face. When it comes to an audience at arm's length – namely, our current and potential customers – we are practiced at using our communication skills to help them understand the perceived value of our products and overcome any possible anxiety.But the group of people we are closest to – the ones working inside the very same walls as us, so to speak – our colleagues. We can overlook the necessity of understanding their possible anxieties, the non-monetary costs they face, and help them understand the process-level value proposition for actions they need to take.We can be so focused on doing the thing, we overlook communicating why others should join us in getting it done.Or as our next guest puts it, “change agents need broad support.”I talked to Christina Martin, Executive Director of Marketing for Chase Auto, JP Morgan Chase and Company (https://www.jpmorganchase.com/), on the latest episode of the How I Made It In Marketing podcast to hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories.Martin manages a team of six engaged in B2C marketing for Chase Auto.JP Morgan Chase has $3.7 trillion in assets and $292 billion in stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2022. One out of every two households in America have a relationship with JP Morgan Chase.Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingSome lessons from Martin that emerged in our discussion:Don't fall for Wile E.

Dave says there is no such thing as “the best university”--only the “best university” FOR YOU.  You have to finish that sentence!  Dave's own story illustrates this. He began as a political science major at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., paired with an internship on the Hill with his hometown district congressman. Seemed like the perfect place to be for a political science major–but it wasn't the right fit FOR HIM.  Join us as Dave describes his undergraduate experience transferring to a school that was a better fit for him, despite what others thought about his choice, to his graduate work in Business at Northwestern, to his interesting career in product development at major corporations, where he worked on products we know like Totinos Pizza and Whirlpool washing machines.  His experience all ties together as he decided to start his own company, Troove, serving students in helping find the best college fit for them.  You can check out Troove for yourself at www.troove.me

“There is a difference between doing things right and doing the right thing.” Flint McGlaughlin shared that strategy maxim in Customer-First Objectives Application Session: See real webpages optimized for marketing conversion (https://meclabs.com/course/sessions/customer-first-objectives-application-session/) and it got me thinking about the marketer's role in the organization while reading over the podcast guest application from our latest guest.When reading about pivoting a startup to do the right thing earlier in her career, I wanted to know how that experience helped her focus the larger companies she worked in do the right thing as well, a challenge many marketing leaders face while filling a key role in the organization – being the advocate for the customer. You can hear the answer to that question, along with plenty of lesson-filled stories, from Kristin Russel, Chief Marketing Officer, symplr (https://www.symplr.com/).The enterprise healthcare operations software and services company is backed by Clearlake Capital, which currently has $60 billion of assets under management, and Charlesbank Capital Partners, a private investment firm that has raised $15 billion. In her role as CMO, Russel manages 16 agencies in the content and creative lines, seven in marketing.

As always, we cover everything from application to graduation, and even a little extracurricular activities available at a university in Europe. 

Diaa and I discuss his wonderful perspective about everything related to his MBA. We touch on things like balancing school and family, self-confidence, and, of course, his experiences both applying to business school and his day-to-day grind.

This episode focuses on examining different approaches for making business decisions and considering how, why or when you might use them. We are also delving into how the impact or consequences of decisions are judged - how you know you've made the right decision - and how decision making practices might inform organisational and personal leadership learning. To discuss this topic we talk to Helen Nolan, an executive director at the University of Southern Queensland. Helen is a senior executive with significant experience in leadership, marketing and business development. At the top level her decisions have affected national defence force marketing and university strategy. Helen knows decisions-equal-results in business, and results can be measured.Find Helen online: LinkedIn Twitter Find our more about USQ's MBA. 

This episode explores the concept of decision making, what it looks like in a business context, and why decision making is fundamental to business performance and success. We discuss the types of business decisions and the triggers for those decisions. To discuss this topic we talk to The Honourable Paul Lucas, former deputy premiere  and attorney general of Queensland. Mr Lucas, now retired from political life, has returned to his first career in law but continues to serve in many various non-executive director roles for organisations such as the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health and the Central Highlands Development Corporation.Find Paul online: LinkedIn Holding Redlich Lawyers Find our more about USQ's MBA. 

This episode focuses on two key decision making theories: rational (sometimes also called classical) and behavioural. We explore how rational decision making may be the ideal but does not always reflect the reality of business decision making. This reality means that decision makers often need to use intuition and gut instincts to make satisfactory rather than optimal decisions. To discuss this topic we talk to Richard Hughes CEO of the Ipswich Jets Rugby League and Netball clubs. Richard has also lead fundraising teams of major not for profit organisations, is a founder of his own multi-award winning start up, and more recently, the CEO of the Children's Tumour Foundation. Find Richard online: LinkedIn Ipswich Jets Find our more about USQ's MBA. 

This episode focuses on the idea of individual influences on decision making and how they impact on the decision maker's ability to make rational, optimal decisions. Business leaders need to be cognisant of their individual approach to leadership, their biases and past experiences. Leaders must realise that when trying to be strategic in their approach to decision making these influences impact on decision rationality (i.e. making the optimal decision).  To discuss this topic we talk to Nick Pritchard, founder and CEO of advertising agency Nick-Did-This. The agency is a quirky model of its owner's personality. With twenty-eight staff who live and breathe the Nick-Did-This mentality Nick Pritchard is very aware of himself, his background and his individuality and how that influences his decisions and his company's direction. Find Nick online: LinkedIn Nick Did This Find our more about USQ's MBA. 

This episode focuses on the internal and external factors that influence decision making. Business leaders need to be cognisant of these influences when trying to be strategic in their approach to decision making and realise that these influences impact on decision rationality (i.e. making the optimal decision) To discuss this topic we talk to Chris Black, founder and CEO of Fortress Financial Solutions. Chris is also a current board member with the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce and St Saviours School. He is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, has been noted as one of the most influential financial advisers in Australia by the Financial Standard, has lived and worked in the UK, is an alumni of USQ having completed a Business and Commerce double degree and, Chris tells us, most proudly a husband and father to three boys.Find Chris online: LinkedIn Fortress Financial Solutions Find our more about USQ's MBA.
