This document discusses the importance of having a strong, differentiated brand for revenue growth. It outlines the six pillars necessary for unstoppable B2B revenue growth, with the first pillar being a differentiated and compelling brand promise. The document defines what a brand is, its key components, and attributes of successful brands, emphasizing that brands must be unique, create emotional connections, and have a "wow factor" to positively impact revenue. It provides an example of a company with an effective brand strategy and encourages prioritizing brand strategy to gain competitive advantages in the marketplace.
One of the most important decisions to be made when designing a lead-to-revenue (L2R) strategy is the type of B2B marketing funnel model to support your revenue goals. It comes down to two major flavors: wide or narrow funnel. A large number of high-quality leads at a low cost-per-lead sounds great in theory; but there is almost always a trade-off between quantity and quality – unless you are willing to spend exorbitant sums to achieve this goal. Let’s take a closer look at the two funnel models.

The sales “closer” has an almost mythical reputation in the annals of business. Movies like Tin Men, Boiler Room, Door to Door and Wall Street show how the most successful at the craft of selling are also the most devious.
Discover how marketing can support the new sales model. While the hard-sell approach works in the movies, and perhaps in a bygone era, the days of the high-pressure closer are numbered. So how can you support a sales model that is based on guidance, coaching and education, and less on mastering high-pressure sales techniques?
Here are five suggestions:
- Give prospects what they want – not what you think they need.
- Give sales reps what they want.
- Make sure your messaging is crystal clear.
- Establish a firm set of expectations with your sales counterparts.
- Revisit your lead-to-revenue (L2R) model.

As a marketing or sales professional, you have a choice in how you message your company and its offerings, with the goal of driving favorable responses (e.g. opt-ins) and purchases. And while many permutations are possible, there are two primary motivators of human behavior: gain and pain.
Gain: People take action because they want a gain of some sort. Pain: On the other side of the same coin, pain is a huge motivator.

Earlier this year, Bill Gross, founder of Idealab, spoke at TED on the topic of top factors in startup success. Since Mr. Gross has founded and funded many successful ventures, his advice is worth listening to. After studying 200 startup companies (both successful and not) it was determined that, of the five most important factors, timing was the most critical to the eventual success of the venture. You can watch the TED video for more details, but a summary of the data is shown in the chart below. By the way, I find it interesting that so many entrepreneurs are obsessed by the funding issue, or with starting with right team or business model, while in fact; it turns out to be the least important of the five factors.
Just as with startup success, timing is a critical factor in marketing, and sometimes the overarching issue. As an example, we occasionally get asked to rescue a company whose market share and revenues are dropping. While we are happy to work in this scenario, unless the product is sold online and the sales cycle is short, marketing alone is not an effective short-term fix. The situation may need to be stabilized through aggressive sales techniques or cost-cutting measures starting now – with marketing used as the key factor in ensuring medium and long-term success. In such a case, the timing can work against you on the marketing side.
There are hundreds of articles, blogs and papers on the subject of finding B2B prospects. The conversation goes something like this: “Let’s find out where our prospects hang out and sell them something.” This is the essence of push marketing. On the other hand, we practitioners of pull marketing (or inbound marketing, if you prefer) know that it is almost always better to be the one found than the one doing the finding.
Marketing can help shrink a company's B2B sales cycle by providing relevant content to educate prospects at different stages. Companies should layer content from short summaries to in-depth articles to support information gatherers and buyers. They should also offer options for prospects to self-educate or engage with sales at different stages. Providing this type of self-serve experience can offload costs from sales and boost effectiveness by keeping prospects engaged with the company for longer.
This presentation covers the key trends that will impact B2B sales and marketing in 2015 and beyond. Key trends include a focus on sales metrics, social media, sales and marketing alignment, buyers funnel and importance of prompt lead follow-up.
The document discusses six ways to improve B2B copywriting: 1) cut back on fluff, 2) write for understanding, 3) clearly state the call to action, 4) talk to the audience not at them, 5) focus on the necessary word count to convey the message and call to action, and 6) use a singular and human voice. The tips are meant to help communicate effectively and drive stronger business results.
Some good advice: create an end-to-end process for driving revenue instead of applying separate marketing and sales models. And, remember that tightly integrated sales and marketing organizations always produce far better results.
As marketers, when it comes to our business lives, our raison d’être (primary reason for existence) is not to just do cool marketing stuff, but rather to support the revenue goals and overall objectives of the business. You can best accomplish this by adopting a revenue model and practicing proven sales growth strategies.
This presentation identifies the five most commonly used deceptive marketing techniques that lazy marketers use to craft their offers. It also reveals the truth about misleading practices showing that they have an adverse effect and fail to generate genuine interest and response.
Competitive marketing campaigns are rich with opportunity but also fraught with peril. So how do you exploit the opportunity while leaving the peril behind? Here are five criteria that indicate a competitive marketing program has a good chance of success:
1. You competitor is better known.
2. You have an identified differentiation.
3. You make it easy to switch.
4. There is a precipitous event.
5. Your offer is compelling.
A highly targeted approach to competitive marketing usually works better than broad-based general advertising.
While the right B2B marketing strategy will vary by type of product and industry, we do see distinct trends. The marketer’s challenge is to combine the right mix of programs to build market awareness and fill the sales funnel each month at a low blended cost per lead. With that in mind, we examined the recorded effectiveness of the many online lead generation options. Our experiences are summarized in this B2B marketing strategy infographic.
What key tactics best fit our Marketing Strategy?
What B2B marketing tactics are working now for others, and how well?
Where should we emphasize or deemphasize our marketing focus?
There’s no question that the right marketing strategy for your business will depend on your brand, your business capabilities, your solutions, and most importantly, your market. But knowing the distinct trends can and should influence your marketing priorities.
Create a powerful B2B sales machine by reviewing and practicing these 8 keys for success
1. Make sure there is complete alignment between the marketing and sales departments.
2. Concentrate your efforts on finding the companies and individuals that have a genuine need for what you offer.
3. Never lose a deal alone.
4. Keep things simple and focused on as few priorities as possible.
Let’s now cover the final four keys, beginning with treating B2B sales leads with care and respect. It really offends me when sales departments mishandle the leads/inquiries given to them by the marketing department. I have seen sales reps ignore leads, denigrate leads, and follow them up in a half-hearted manner. Often this occurs because the VP of Sales speaks poorly about what marketing is doing, creating a culture where reps feel it is okay not to work the leads they are given.
Seven criteria to create a powerful B2B lead generation engine. Whatever your product or service, never underestimate the importance of a well-tuned lead generating engine.
The document discusses social media pitfalls and time-wasters to avoid when marketing on social media. It provides tips such as not becoming a nuisance by constantly contacting your audience, not constantly selling without providing value, avoiding insulting or presenting yourself negatively online, and not going off topic in your posts. The key is to focus on engaging and helping your audience rather than self-promotion and trivial content.
This presentation discusses whether or not BANT is still a useful tool for B2B lead qualification as well as provides six tips for transitioning from BANT.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for MarketersEd Shimp
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.

Top 10 AI Trends to Watch in 2024
Trend 1: Agentic AI
Overview of Agentic AI
Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence. These AI systems are designed to comprehend complex workflows and pursue difficult objectives autonomously, with minimal human assistance. Essentially, agentic AI functions similarly to human employees, understanding intricate contexts and instructions in normal language, defining goals, deducing subtasks, and adapting actions to changing circumstances.
Impact of Agentic AI
Agentic AI has the potential to drastically alter organizational roles, procedures, and relationships. AI assistants with advanced thinking and planning capabilities can perform tasks previously managed by humans. This shift enhances productivity by fully automating complex processes, freeing workers from repetitive tasks to focus on more critical activities. The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances ensures continuous operational improvements.
Examples and Use Cases of Agentic AI
Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars use agentic AI to navigate roads, interpret traffic signals, and make real-time decisions to ensure passenger safety.
Smart Home Devices: AI-powered home assistants, like smart thermostats and security systems, operate autonomously to optimize energy usage and enhance security.
Customer Service Bots: Advanced chatbots handle complex customer queries, provide solutions, and escalate issues to human agents when necessary.
Trend 2: Open Source AI
Overview of Open Source AI
Open-source AI involves freely available source code, encouraging developers to collaborate, use, adapt, and share AI technology. This openness fosters innovation and speeds up the development of practical AI solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and education.
Impact of Open Source AI
The collaborative nature of open-source AI promotes transparency and facilitates continuous improvement, leading to feature-rich, reliable, and modular solutions. These platforms enable the creation of applications such as real-time fraud detection, medical image analysis, personalized recommendations, and customized learning experiences.
Examples and Use Cases of Open Source AI
TensorFlow: An open-source machine learning framework by Google, widely used for building and deploying AI models.

B2B Marketing Offers that Motivate Action
1. B2B Offers that Motivate Action
Christopher Ryan
info@fusionmarketingpartners.com
2. Carrot & Stick Motivators
Napoleon Bonaparte said, “There are two
levers for moving men: interest (the
carrot) and fear (the stick).”
Fear Interest
3. Using the Correct Incentive
Humans can be motivated in a
surprising variety of ways, using the
correct incentive (including message
and offer) for a specific audience is
a big factor in good marketing.
4. Greed
While greed is usually thought
of as a negative emotion, it is
really just the desire to get a
better deal than the next
person, or to enhance our
position at a low cost.
5. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)
When using the FUD formula, you are
selling from the negative perspective.
Instead of saying “If you buy our
product, these good things will
happen to you,” FUD copy implies, “If
you don’t buy our product, these bad
things will happen to you.”
6. Curiosity
If you have the task of generating leads
for a new product or service, create the
curiosity in your advertising by
withholding a little information. A
curiosity-seeker who is satisfied does not
respond to advertising.
7. Anticipation
As noted marketing expert Jeff
Walker explains, your prospect is
always looking for ways to ignore
your marketing message and you
need to construct your message in
such a way to override this impulse.
8. Status or Exclusivity
As soon as you tell your child he
can’t have something, his interest in
the forbidden object increases
dramatically. Likewise, for many
individuals, the desirability of a
product rises in direct proportion to
its difficulty of attainment.
9. Time Pressure
Time pressure creates a sense of
urgency by saying “buy me today
because it will cost you more
tomorrow” or “only the first 200
respondents can take advantage of
this offer.”
10. Convenience
Marketers who show people how
their products and services will save
them time and/or make their lives
easier (at work or at home) have a
significant selling benefit.
11. Financial
The financial hot buttons of your
prospects can be pushed two ways:
1. By demonstrating how your
product or service will save
money.
2. By demonstrating how your
product or service will help
generate more income.
12. Learning
Many people have a thirst for
knowledge and this can be a strong
appeal in your promotional copy. They
want information on how to do their
jobs better, make their companies
more profitable, and have a successful
business and home life.
13. Remember
While fear can be a strong short-
term motivator, interest (positive
rewards) is usually more
effective for long-term changes.

Editor's Notes
These are indeed the two master motivators, and all others are a subset of these behavioral drivers.
Following are nine examples of “carrot and stick” motivational techniques that have proven successful for different types of B2B offers.
Almost everyone is susceptible to greed to some degree. Copywriters who effectively push the greed button sell a lot of products.
Fear has been used in financial marketing to persuade prospects that their current investments are suspect, and in the computer industry to convince prospects that their current technology has shortcomings that leave them in a weak competitive posture.
This appeal is most effective with so-called early adopters of products. Some people have a strong need to own, or at least know about, the newest products and services.
Anticipation accomplishes this by getting the prospect excited about something that is coming in the future. Like curiosity, anticipation is a powerful inducement to early adopters.
People who have children know this as the reverse psychology approach.
The time pressure appeal works better in a supporting role.
Most people (including me) feel a great deal of time pressure in their daily lives.
This is equally true whether you are trying to get your children to do the right things, or to get your prospects to make a purchase.
