In this episode, Dan connects with the founder of the Marketing Advisory Network, author of Unleash Possible, host of the Unleash Possible podcast, and most recently co-author (with Dan and 34 others) of The Most Amazing Marketing Book Ever, B2B powerhouse Samantha Stone. With a passion for complex problem-solving, Samantha shares powerful insights on the value of communicating effectively with your customers  B2B communication is strategic, and all too often, businesses make the mistake of thinking it just happens. In reality, it takes time, and as it turns out, it's one of the most intentional, strategic components of your entire business model. It takes effort to understand your customers, who they are, and what they need. Once you've done those things, it's time to activate them with a message that brings it all together and ignites something special.  Neither Dan nor Samantha pulls any punches in this episode as they dismiss myths about marketing and share eye-opening insights that will get your gears moving in the right direction. They also discuss her book entitled, “Unleash Possible: A Marketing Playbook that Drives B2B Sales.” When it comes to B2B marketing, chances are Samantha has been there and done that. Now, she wants to make sure you reach that same place and do it better. Here's what you can expect from the show:  Insightful exchanges on the nuances of B2B and B2C communication.  The power of networking and value of intimate networks of influencers and contacts. The need for marketers and creatives to be amongst one another for a nurturing experience. The B2B Experience: stories, reputations, trust, and getting to know your customers. Narrowing it down to find out who you can best serve. The flaw of spending your way to success and growth.  Sales can do things that marketing simply cannot … because marketing isn't always human.  Building sustainable customer relationships, not just securing a sale.  Sometimes you have to hold the hands of sales and show them the way.  The importance of managing internal stakeholders and understanding their “why”.  If everyone is focusing on the buyer, all the jobs become easier.  The remote workplace has changed the work-learning landscape.  Notable Quotes “Marketing, communications, whatever it is that we do, creativity, being curious, intellectual curiosity, they're all so common across leaders in the field, but they need a valve or safe space to let ideas fly.” – (9:16) – Dan “Good marketing, great education is emotional.” – (10:19) – Samantha “Just because you don't have the skill doesn't mean you can't get the skill.” – (22:24) – Dan “Businesses need to find niches that they can own and expand from.” – (28:50) – Samantha “Qualitative research is actually a little bit of a lost art.” – (36:44) – Samantha  “As human beings it is natural for us to put the most value on the product or service that is the hardest for us to deliver.” – (39:08) – Samantha “If we take the time to understand our customers, we'll build businesses that have sustainable growth.” – (1:12) Samantha About Dan Nestle  The Dan Nestle Show (libsyn.com) Daniel Nestle | LinkedIn The Dan Nestle Show | Facebook Dan Nestle (@dsnestle) / Twitter The Most Amazing Marketing Book Ever About Samantha Stone Samantha Stone is a forward thinker and true champion of B2B communications.

This approach creates the wrong behavior and makes marketing focus on the wrong things. Instead, marketing should be held accountable for overall business metrics and growth. 00:33:00 - Spending Your Way into Success and Growth, Businesses too often try to spend their way into success and growth by running more ads and content syndication.

Artificial Intelligence is on the rise in the marketing world and who better to talk about AI and marketing technology than the Founder and CMO of The Marketing Advisory Network, and author of Unleash Possible, Samantha Stone. In this episode you will learn all about artificial intelligence and how you should be using it to rock your marketing automation to get the most out of all your buyer interactions.     Takeaways: The main purpose of using AI is to get the most out of each and every interaction you have with your customer. Human interaction is great but sometimes certain interactions are better using technology. Focus human time when humans work best and use technology for the rest. AI - is not SkyNet. It's nothing to be intimidated by and is well within the reach and use of small businesses and startups. Technology allows us to focus on what may be best suited for that person independent of any one attribute. Even the best AI needs good data from the beginning. As powerful as it is, it can only perform as well as the data it's given. Avoid the confirmation bias where you show your buyer only what you know they will like because the data reports that they like it. It can lead to many missed opportunities. You may want to dive right into using AI but you still need a well-planned marketing strategy first. Evaluate your current strategy and establish what you want to achieve.

Sales and marketing teams often run each other ragged. They can clash on even the simplest things, from the physical proximity of different team members to the definition of metrics. They can even disagree on what defines a lead. If you do not address the issue, even the smallest disputes open large divides that prevent a business from succeeding at this basic level. Connie Stack—Chief Marketing Officer at Digital Guardian—has some experience addressing these conflicts and aligning the goals of sales and marketing organizations. We were fortunate enough to have her on the Unleash Possible show to discuss some of her methods.

It is easy to see the benefits of Account Based Marketing once it is up and running, but starting from scratch is a difficult task.

In this episode of Unleash Possible, Brian explains getting sales & marketing on the same page, how his team narrowed down their list of target accounts, and the overall strategic importance of Account Based Marketing.

Gear up for this very exciting episode on how to create clear, effective content marketing with marketing master Samantha Stone - founder and CMO of the Marketing Advisory Network and author of Unleash Possible! Learn all about why it is important to craft your messages directly and effectively by paying attention to your audience's needs and why it's important to develop a content schedule that optimizes your message for best results!   Takeaways     Edit your content and get feedback. It's difficult for an individual to proof and edit his or her own work. Make an effort to have someone check your content and get a second opinion before releasing it. Don't force your content. Coming up with useful content takes time and it's better to send clear and thoughtful content rather than ill-planned and  rushed content. People consume content differently, that's why it's so important to recognize how your audience might process information. If you can determine their learning style you can craft your message to communicate clearly with them and get their attention. Don't force yourself to post daily content if it's garbage. Take time to plan and choose the best routine for the best content you create. Both businesses and consumers are a involved in complex sales and impulsive sales.  Learn to differentiate between the two to develop a clearer message and win their trust.   Links Twitter: @samanthastone LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthastonemarketing Unleash Possible: http://unleashpossible.com/ Unleash Possible Blog:  marketingadvisorynetwork.com/blog/ Website: http://marketingadvisorynetwork.com/

Samantha Stone is one of the most excited marketers I have meet to talk about the issues of sales and marketing, that after you meet her, the excitement is so contagious, you want to go out and put her words into action. In this show, Samantha shares some of the thoughts and concepts she wrote in her new book, Unleash Possible. In it, she gets into topics like measurement, account-based marketing, steps to bring the conversations with management to the next stage, and the issues between sales and marketing. One of my favorite quotes in the podcast from Samantha was, “More leads is not the answer. We need more opportunities.” Leads, qualified or not, still need engagement from the marketing team and the idea of handing off them is no longer acceptable. We need to work together with sales to ensure the customer has the right information, when they are ready, to make the best decision for them.We will continue publishing the shows from B2B Forum on Mondays and Fridays until we January. I would love your thoughts and commentary on the share.
