In this episode, Manish Nepal, the founder of Marketing Impact, and I discuss whether it makes sense to build a B2B community. We discussed how we at The ABM Conversations podcast built one and failed badly. Here are the timestamps of the key points discussed: 3:18 Does building a community make sense for all? Everyone talks about its benefits; you hear virtue statements like “build a community before you build your product?” but the reality is far from it. The question is – can it even be a universal formula for everyone. And why you shouldn't be comparing B2C communities and B2B communities. 8:04 A Few things that led us to assume that The ABM Conversations Podcast needs a community around it – and how it wasn't to be. We talk about how it was either bad execution or flawed interpretation of data signals. We spoke in detail about how we went about our execution. 12:00 Does community building need a different skillset? What makes B2B communities like Peak Community and RevGenius work well? Summary of what we think are the top-most issues with building communities in today's date. 18:25 Are you better off focusing on your core than building a community? Or do you have a clear purpose for how your community will help people? Do you have something to offer as leverage for people? And finally, do you have what it takes?

Nemanja here! What's up, guys? Today I want to share with you an episode of another podcast where I was a guest. It was a podcast hosted by my friend Yaagneshwaran Ganesh or shorter Yarg. The podcast is called The ABM conversation podcast, one of the best out there when it comes to b2b marketing. And I'm really glad that I had a chance to be on it and share. And to be honest, I forgot to share it with you. But a few days ago, Yaag reminded me that the episode is one of the top 10 most listened to episodes of the podcast, people keep coming back to the episode and listening to it so I said, well, I need to share this with you, with my audience. So what did we talk about? We've discussed how to best leverage LinkedIn for demand generation and growth. Specifically, we talked about the way we at Funky Marketing used LinkedIn, the way I used it to go from solopreneur to the fast-growing, Funky Marketing team that we have today. We talked about our approach to content creation and distribution on LinkedIn, we talked about the trade-off between ads and organic marketing, and what could be an ideal balance. We talked about, you know, the way you can leverage LinkedIn pages the right way, but also, we tackled topics like a misconception to believe that customers who have the least amount of complaints are the best and a lot more.

Consequences: Content experience brings people closer or further from brand Brand Impact: What and whose problem are you solving?
