32 Marketing Tips That Never Go Out of Style
Tired of chasing the next “big thing” in marketing? Maybe it’s time to get back to basics.

Lead Generation
Successful lead generation in B2B marketing requires both inbound and outbound strategies. Inbound strategies involve creating high-quality, relevant content to attract and engage website visitors, generating leads as visitors provide their contact information. Outbound strategies use tools like telephone marketing to directly target known customer groups. Both strategies aim to nurture leads through the long sales cycle by maintaining dialogue and adding value until the prospect is ready to purchase. Content should be compelling, tailored to specific personas, and repurposed across multiple channels to maximize its impact on the customer decision journey.

This document outlines a marketing strategy that utilizes multiple channels, including email, text, social media, blogs, and search engine optimization. It discusses targeting specific groups, testing campaigns, analyzing results, categorizing leads, and refining the approach.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

B2B product management
- 1. PM in B2B Leanstartup Circle SF unconference, Dec 7 2016
- 2. ~20 Product Practitioners in the room Multiple countries represented Q&A format Lively discussion This is a summary of that session
- 3. How do you create buy-in for customer development internally? Talk to key people about the risk of not doing it Look at gainsight research regarding why customers churn Find key people, figure out what gets them promoted, tailor for that ;) Make buddies with these key people, personal relationship, lunch, coffee
- 4. Why are people not buying my product? (failed leads) It’s hard to contact people who’ve decided not to buy your product and find out why they didn’t buy Improve Qs asked during lead qualification Ask them early about their problem, not your solution Review the Sales pitch / process
- 5. How is B2B customer development different from B2C? B2C -- solve a problem that the purchaser has (hopefully). B2B -- the actual purchaser may not have the problem you are solving for. B2C -- you can use street teams, FB targeted surveys etc. B2B -- Segment and then network your contacts to get interviews. B2C -- people agree with your solution out of politeness and not buy B2B -- people may not readily agree with you but if convinced, high change of buy.
- 6. How to add more value prop to an existing product? (feature add) Spend a day with your current customers & observe like a child Talk to your customer implementation team about their most popular fixes Talk to people who are adjacent to your core users instead of your core users
- 7. How do you get time with your customers for interviews? Offer value added training for them and then interview Offer free stuff to lure them, send them a gift, direct mail works! Setup routine check-ins with them so that you don’t have to do something special Look up their renewal date and message around that.
