It’s the final crunch time to reach sales goals by the end of the year. Don’t let the excitement of the holidays distract you into complacency. Instead, use the holiday spirit to drive you to success. Start by evaluating your preparedness for the unexpected with a plan and business insurance , then create incentives that make sense with the season, and finally, keep your work and life balanced so you don’t lose what’s most important.

This question was posed in an email I received recently. It struck me, for a number of reasons. People who know me well, sometimes ask, “Dave, why do your work so hard! You certainly don’t need the money, but you continue to be one of the busiest people I know. What causes you to keep it up? Why don’t you take more time off?” The response has been the same over all the years people have asked that question.

Almost 90% of B2B buyers prefer content from trusted B2B influencers over sales messages from B2B brands. That’s a statistic from a recent survey by LinkedIn and it echoes what Demandbase CMO Kelly Hopping recently told us : “They’re going to trust hearing from that guy, versus the Demandbase brand.” But just who is “that guy”?

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Getting swept up in the hype of shiny new tools is easy. From AI-powered analytics to the latest customer data platforms (CDPs) and composable digital experience platforms (DXPs), there’s always something newer, flashier and supposedly game-changing on the market. If those tools aren’t driving real, measurable results, they’re not helping — they’re just draining your budget.

I think that we’ve all faced the music: AI is (whether we want it to or not) changing the way that we do business. And, in my humble opinion, I’m not mad at it. Its offerings have been pretty beneficial thus far. But even if you’ve accepted this fate (or maybe you’re cautiously on the fence), you’re likely part of a select group of people who are still wondering what AI is really doing to empower both small and large-scale businesses.

B2B marketing and selling have not been able to keep up with changes in buyer preferences. Despite the change in how buyers make decisions, marketing teams still focus on generating leads, and sales teams hound those leads for meetings in the belief that this is the path to revenue.
