She shares her unabashed take on the state of B2B marketing today and details the pitfalls marketers typically fall into.

    Another concept that has really taken the B2B industry by storm lately is Go-To-Market strategy and planning. It seems that everyone and their mother has GTM in their LinkedIn headlines.

    • In market research, building relationships is all about human connection, not titles.
    • Human centric marketing requires conversations with people, not just surveys.
    • Taking more risks and being more fun in marketing is a huge opportunity in B2B.
    • Prioritize actionable sales and customer success training over theory.
