It’s a tired cliche that B2B marketing is the “boring” sibling to B2C, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

Most of the problem is that marketing success is measured by outcomes that have nothing to do with how advertising works.

When Open AI’s ChatGPT first burst onto the scene in late 2022, as a writer, admittedly, I was a little nervous. All I kept hearing was how AI was going to take my job and how human writers would go the way of the dinosaur … yada yada yada. That put a sour taste in my mouth regarding using that AI tool for my small business. And it was quite some time before I tried it myself.

Picture this: Your ecommerce website is up and running, and traffic is flowing in. Shoppers are finding you through your social channels , search engines , and paid media campaigns. The challenge? You need to convert all those visitors into paying customers. That’s where conversion rate optimization (CRO) comes in.

Don’t get me wrong – burnout is real. No one wants to see anyone get to that stage. But there is a real difference between working because you have to and working because you enjoy your work.
