Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Bryan Bowles to discuss how marketers can drive sustainable customer growth through tighter alignment with commercial teams, smarter segmentation, and role clarity across go-to-market functions.Bryan shares his unconventional career path and the insights he's gained by working across technical, product, and sales roles. He explains why marketers must understand both the buyer and the seller journeys, and how misaligned activities can waste resources and erode trust.From building campaigns that matter to structuring internal marketing roles with precision, Bryan offers a blueprint for modern B2B teams seeking to make a meaningful impact—especially when budgets are tight and expectations are high.Key TakeawaysStart with Seller Empathy: Great marketing doesn't just mirror the buyer's journey—it walks in the seller's shoes. Understanding how commercial teams use marketing materials is crucial to building relevant, timely campaigns.Segmentation is the Game-Changer: Trying to market to all customers equally leads to diluted efforts. Instead, narrow focus, precise segmentation, and account intelligence lead to higher conversion and deeper engagement.Align on Roles, Not Just Goals: Marketing success hinges on clearly defined roles. Bryan emphasizes letting product marketers focus on the “what” and “why,” while campaign teams drive the “how” with discipline and expertise.Activity ≠ Outcomes: Webinars and flashy tactics might feel good, but without a cohesive playbook and long-term view, they won't move the needle. Sustainable growth comes from planned, multi-touch, multi-channel programs.Operational Simplicity Drives Speed: Bringing content and campaign teams into one unit at GHX reduced handoffs and improved execution speed—creating what Bryan calls “one less handoff,” a powerful operational mantra.Outspend or Outsmart: When you can't outspend competitors, get surgical. Tight focus, clear audience segmentation, and close collaboration with the commercial team allow you to win smarter—not louder.Quotes“You don't need to spam the world. You need to be relevant to the right segment and convert.”Best moments 02:00 – Bryan's journey from rural hospital analyst to marketing leader.05:30 – Where companies fail in connecting commercial goals to marketing actions.09:00 – The secret to scaling customer growth through tight segmentation.13:00 – Turning field events into actionable intelligence for frontline teams.16:00 – Role definition and the art of avoiding activity-based marketing.20:00 – How merging content and campaign teams accelerated execution.23:30 – Why winning market share requires precision, not volume.Resource recommendationsBooks:Smart Brevity – A guide to simplifying communication and getting to the point faster.Podcasts:Outcomes Rocket – A healthcare-focused podcast Bryan recommends for insight into industry trends.Shout-outsKaycee Kalpin, CMO, Premier Inc.About the guestBryan Bowles is a seasoned marketing executive with over two decades of experience leading growth and innovation across the healthcare industry.

Client segmentation is the process by which you divide your clients up based on common characteristics (such as demographics or behaviors) so that you can serve those clients more effectively.

Your ideal customer profile (ICP) is the north star for your entire company: it determines who you're building for and selling to. Though most growth-stage founders think they know who their ICP is, very few know how to update and refine it to keep the company focused as they grow—which can lead to a lot of headaches down the road.In this debut episode of a16z Growth's new company scaling podcast, the a16z Guide to Growth, a16z's Joe Morrissey (General Partner, a16z Growth), Michael King (Partner, Go-to-Market Network), and Mark Regan (Partner, a16z Growth) break down why ICP misalignment is often the hidden cause of common problems across the entire company, from pipeline gaps and bloated marketing spend to stalled product roadmaps—and dive deep on how to fix it.They offer tactical advice for defining (and refining!) your ICP as you scale, explain why getting it right requires company-wide alignment, and how to navigate the “precision paradox” when implementing it. Plus, why ICPs matter even more in the AI era, and how a well-executed ICP shows up across the business when it's working. Resources: Read more on sales and go-to-market on our Growth Content CompendiumFind Joe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morrisseyjoe/Find Mark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mregan178/Find Michael on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-king-62258/Find Emma on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmajanaskie/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Segmentation is something that we want to be able to put a chunk of people in. If a tag only is going to apply to one person, it's not a tag or custom field, it's a note. If it's something that you want to segment, so it's all of your buyers, all of your sellers, all of your SLI, all of I don't know some other group of people that you want to be able to segment everyone that's interested in a specific city that is a tag or a custom field.”   Key takeaways: Understanding CRMs and Their Importance – Explanation of what a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is and why it's essential in real estate. Notes vs. Tags for Organization – Clarification on the difference between notes and tags, how to properly use them for segmentation.

This audio focuses on the significance of email marketing SEO for business growth. The speakers emphasize building quality email lists, highlighting strategies like quizzes and social unlocks to gather primary contact information. We explore techniques for effective email engagement, including segmentation, personalized content, and attention to email size and deliverability. The discussion covers technical aspects of email marketing, such as domain reputation and authentication, while also touching upon broader SEO tactics and the evolving landscape of AI search. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the importance of building genuine connections through email and integrating it strategically within a comprehensive marketing approach.Frequently Asked Questions: Email Marketing SEO1. What is the core concept of "email marketing SEO" being discussed? The central idea is that your email marketing efforts and your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies are deeply interconnected and should work together to drive business growth. This involves understanding how elements of your email marketing, such as list building, segmentation, content, and deliverability, influence your overall online presence and reach, much like traditional SEO focuses on website visibility in search engine results.2. Why is building an email list considered so crucial ("The money's in the list")? Building a robust email list is vital because it represents a direct line of communication with an audience that has shown interest in your brand or offerings. Unlike social media platforms where your reach is subject to algorithms and platform stability, an email list provides a more controlled and personal connection. This allows for relationship building, consistent engagement, and targeted promotions, ultimately leading to conversions and long-term customer value. Furthermore, in a landscape where social media platforms can experience downtime or changes in popularity, your email list remains a stable asset.3. How can businesses effectively grow their email list organically, without relying solely on paid advertising? Several organic methods for email list growth were highlighted. Quizzes are a powerful tool for attracting qualified leads by offering value in exchange for contact information. Social unlocks involve gating exclusive content (like unlisted videos or specific information) behind an email signup form on social media. Offering valuable content like ebooks as downloads also encourages sign-ups. Additionally, consistently creating valuable content through platforms like podcasts and YouTube can naturally drive interested individuals to your email list.4. What role does segmentation play in effective email marketing, especially with a large list? Segmentation is crucial for managing and engaging a large email list effectively. By dividing subscribers into smaller groups based on shared characteristics (e.g., interests indicated through quiz responses or website activity), you can send more targeted and relevant content.5. Why is the "welcome sequence" considered the most underrated email marketing sequence? The welcome sequence sets the crucial first impression for new subscribers. Just like a welcoming experience in a physical store, a thoughtful and engaging welcome email sequence can make subscribers feel valued and understood. This initial interaction lays the foundation for the entire customer relationship, influencing how they will perceive and interact with your future emails and your brand as a whole. A positive welcome can significantly improve long-term engagement and retention.How to stay connected with me

In our latest episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of email marketing with some fantastic guests from Family Pet Health. Joining me were Michael Shirley, co-owner of Family Pet Health, Stephen Shirley, their Director of Operations, and Haley Cameron, who handles social media and public outreach. We explored how veterinary practices can harness the power of email marketing to not only attract new clients but also engage and retain existing ones. This episode is packed with actionable insights that any veterinary practice can implement to boost their email marketing game. We kicked things off by discussing the current state of email marketing at Family Pet Health. Michael shared how their email efforts have been somewhat sporadic, primarily focusing on informational content. However, they've recently ramped up their email frequency, sending out more emails in the last few months than they did in the previous nine months combined. The challenge, as Michael pointed out, has been incorporating strong calls to action in these emails. We then delved into their specific goals, like increasing dental compliance and raising awareness about their fear-free certification. Stephen highlighted the ongoing challenge of improving heartworm compliance, emphasizing the need for better communication with clients. We also touched on the tools they're using, like Pet Desk and Mailchimp, and how they plan to leverage these platforms more effectively. One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the importance of setting clear expectations with clients regarding email frequency and content. We discussed strategies like welcome sequences for new subscribers, win-back sequences for lapsed clients, and nurturing emails that provide valuable information while encouraging action. Michael stressed the need for educational content that guides clients on the next steps, whether that's booking an appointment or learning more about specific services. Haley shared her experiences with community outreach events and how email marketing plays a crucial role in promoting these initiatives. We wrapped up by discussing the value of client feedback and how being responsive can help create a collaborative relationship with clients. Overall, this episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for any veterinary practice looking to enhance their email marketing efforts.

Product management is a complex and multifaceted role that requires a delicate balance of strategy, organization, and communication. In order to effectively manage products from ideation to launch and beyond, product managers need the right tools at their disposal. This is where product management tools come into play.  Hubert Palan, the founder and CEO of Productboard, is a key figure in the evolution of product management tools, drawing from his extensive background as an engineer turned product manager. He recognized the pressing need for a dedicated platform that addresses the unique challenges faced by product managers, emphasizing customer-centricity and segmentation, a perspective shaped by his studies under Steve Blank at UC Berkeley.  Traditional tools like Jira and Asana, according to Palan, often fall short in catering to the nuanced needs of product management, prompting the creation of Productboard to fill this gap, which now serves over 6,000 clients including major players like Zoom and JPMorgan Chase. By leveraging visual communication tools and focusing on customer segmentation, Palan believes product managers can better understand and cater to their target audience, ultimately driving product success and organizational growth.  Resource Links Follow Hubert Palan on LinkedIn Follow Hubert Palan on X (formerly Twitter) Explore Productboard Learn about Steve Blank's Lean Startup philosophy Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops    Quotes from Hubert Palan: “Because at the end of the day you have to make a decision. Do I add another use case? Do I satisfy a new need, Do I expand the set of capabilities that my product has or do I double down on what the use case that I already have, but make them better or improve the usability? And that's every day.” Hubert Palan (18:06) “Frequently Personas are more like a design user Personas as opposed to Persona representing the business market segments that product managers need to think about. Because at the end of the day it needs to be a viable business, not just a product that satisfies needs of a specific user.” - Hubert Palan (21:16) “It's challenging and there's no shortcut, unfortunately. I mean, you have to do the workshops, you have to communicate frequently. You need to do the AMA sessions, you need to have the big 10-page document and then a summary of it. And it's constant communication, constant coordination.” - Hubert Palan (31:54)  Lab Notes Lab Note 603.1: Roadmaps are a conversation, not a one-way document.  Lab Note 603.2: Tools like roadmaps, customer interview snapshots, ideal customer profiles, competitive landscapes, and journey maps help leaders share context and set direction.  Lab Note 603.3: For more valuable personas, enrich them with data and an understanding of both behavior and business opportunities.  Lab Note 603.4: Find simple questions to identify who is best suited to get value from your product.  Ready to elevate your product leadership game?

Parents and guardians are the most influential external voices in a student's college search. Yet, many colleges still struggle to engage them effectively. In episode 60 of the Mission Admissions podcast, Jeremy Tiers sits down with Derek Faasse from Capital University to discuss how their admissions team has transformed its approach to parent-specific engagement. From tailored communications to reimagined events, Faasse shares strategies that have increased event attendance, improved family conversations, and strengthened enrollment outcomes.Guest Name: Derek Faasse, Director of Undergraduate Admission, Capital UniversityGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekfaasse/Guest Bio: Derek Faasse is currently the Director of Undergraduate Admission at Capital University, located in Columbus, Ohio. He has previously worked regionally for Lake Superior State University, The University of Alabama, and the University of Toledo. Derek also currently serves as the Treasurer of the Ohio ACAC organization, and outside of the admissions world he's a composer for marching bands, and a dad to four young children.Key TakeawaysParents need their own communication strategy. Simply CC'ing them on student emails isn't enough—Capital University sends separate, targeted messages tailored to parents' concerns.Financial investment messaging resonates with parents. While students focus on campus life and academics, parents want to know about long-term return on investment, career outcomes, and affordability.Event attendance improves with proactive parent outreach. By directly involving parents in event reminders and follow-ups, Capital University has dramatically increased their show rates.Parents ask different questions than students. Concerns about safety, internships, and career readiness often come from parents, making it essential to provide clear and proactive answers.Segmentation and personalization make a difference. Capital has refined its approach by tailoring outreach based on geographic location, program interest, and demonstrated engagement.How Capital University Enhanced Parent Engagement in AdmissionsRecognizing the Tipping Point: Why Parent Engagement Had to ChangeLike many colleges, Capital University initially focused most of its communications on students. However, repeated questions from their Vice President of Enrollment Management made it clear—parents weren't getting the information they needed. Instead of treating parents as secondary recipients, the team at Capital began viewing them as essential partners in the admissions process.The first step was to reconsider what content was reaching households. While students received updates on student life and campus experiences, parents needed different messaging—something that spoke to their role in financing and supporting their child's education.How Capital Transformed Its Parent Outreach StrategyRather than launching an overwhelming, year-long plan all at once, Capital University took an incremental approach. They started by adjusting their event communication strategy, recognizing that parents often decide whether or not a student will visit campus.One major change was creating parent-specific emails instead of simply copying them on student messages. This not only resolved an issue where parents unsubscribing also removed students from communications, but it also allowed for more tailored messaging. Instead of campus events and student organizations, parents received emails focusing on investment value, career preparation, and financial aid clarity.By refining their strategy, Capital University found that parents became more engaged, asked more questions, and felt more confident in their family's decision-making process.The ROI of Parent Engagement: Increased Event Attendance and Stronger ConversationsThe results of Capital's efforts have been undeniable. Their admitted student events now see nearly perfect attendance, a testament to the power of direct parent communication. By ensuring that parents receive weekly event updates, personalized outreach, and detailed logistical information, Capital has significantly improved both registration and attendance rates.Beyond just numbers, the shift in parent engagement has led to richer conversations. Parents are now asking more in-depth questions about career readiness, internships, and post-graduate success—topics that students may not always think to explore on their own.How Capital Structures Parent Engagement at EventsOne of Capital's most successful initiatives has been dedicated parent programming at admitted student events. Rather than simply accompanying their students, parents are given the opportunity to meet with current faculty, alumni, and other parents who have already navigated the college investment process.This approach serves multiple purposes:Encouraging open conversations. Without their students present, parents feel more comfortable asking direct questions about safety, finances, and student support services.Building trust through peer-to-peer connections. Hearing from current parents reassures prospective families about their decision.Providing clear post-graduate outcomes. Parents want to know how a college will prepare their child for life after graduation, making career services and alumni success a focal point.Segmentation and Personalization: The Key to Meaningful EngagementCapital University's ability to refine their parent communication strategy is largely due to their emphasis on segmentation. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, they tailor messaging based on factors such as:Academic interest – Parents of nursing students, for example, receive information about clinical experiences, while business parents get details on internships and networking.Geographic location – Given that students within 100 miles are more likely to enroll, Capital prioritizes outreach differently based on distance.Demonstrated interest – Parents whose students have visited campus or engaged with emails receive more personalized follow-ups.By breaking down their communications into more targeted segments, Capital has been able to make their outreach more relevant, engaging, and actionable.Lessons for Other Institutions: Small Steps Lead to Big ChangesFor colleges looking to improve their parent engagement strategy, the key takeaway is this: start small and build from there. Schools don't need to overhaul their entire process overnight. Instead, they can begin by making simple adjustments:Introduce a parent-specific email campaign.Enhance event communication with personalized reminders.Create opportunities for parent-to-parent conversations.Segment messaging based on student interests and family needs.By taking an incremental approach, institutions can gradually refine their strategies and create a more inclusive, informed admissions process for families.Final ThoughtsEngaging parents isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a must. Schools that prioritize meaningful, transparent communication with families will stand out in an increasingly competitive admissions landscape. Capital University's success proves that when parents feel informed and valued, they become active partners in the enrollment journey. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Jeremy Tiershttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremytiers/https://twitter.com/CoachTiersAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Mission Admissions is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.
