We now can generate more content than ever before, but should we? What if we knew what buyers wanted and made more of that instead of producing what’s fast and/or easy? Last month, I shared insights from our research highlighting the gap between content marketing and the buyer’s journey. Specifically, roughly 80% of closed sales deals we evaluated couldn’t be connected to marketing content.

Ask yourself a question, “Are you taking your people where they want/need to be taken?” Too often, we tend to focus on where we need to go/what we want to accomplish, but we fail in engaging our people as effectively, taking them where they need to be taken. Recently, I’ve had a fascinating experience working with a very high potential CRO.

Do your customers feel like you’re giving them enough attention? Forty-four percent of Americans say they feel ignored by the media and most advertisers.

A full 67% of consumers said they hate being “trailed” by targeted ads.

Google Search is rolling out a change to its About this page/result feature where it includes links to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. This enabling searches to view the previous version of a given webpage. Google added this feature likely because of the complaints about Google removing the cache link from that feature. What Google said. “We know that many people, including those in the research community, value being able to see previous versions of webpages when available.

Organizations often claim to be customer-centric. However, the reality frequently falls short of this. Many companies operate with rigid boundaries between the marketing, sales and customer success departments. This creates artificial barriers that negatively impact customer satisfaction and the company’s bottom line.

So there have only been 3 SaaS IPOs since 2021. Just 3. But all 3 are pretty good ones: Klaviyo, blowing past $1B in ARR; OneStream, growing 37% at $500m ARR; and Rubrik, growing a stunning 35% at $920,000,000 in ARR. (Note: Rubrik’s ARR and growth numbers remain a bit confusing as it transitions 100% to SaaS-based revenue). Woah. The demand for cybersecurity products that work remains unbowed!

Google is on trial for allegedly abusing its dominance of the $200 billion digital advertising industry.

Dear SaaStr: In B2B Startups, How Useful is Cold Calling? Look, I hate getting those calls. Especially the really pushy, dumb ones from SDRs that barely know their own products. Do those work? I don’t know. However … cold calling, done by folks who have done it well before, always works a bit. Especially if you include “cold emailing” and “cold door knocking” into the definition of cold calling.

Google is experimenting with a new way to make ads more distinguishable in its search results. The update introduces a taller gray background for ads, accompanied by a “Sponsored” label and subtitles like “Promoted products” or “Promoted results.” This is a shift from Google’s current more subtle labelling approach.

Should it appear you are experiencing unstable selling, it’s wise to review what is in place and how to improve the process. An all-too-familiar approach offering a ‘golden opportunity’ appears to be in vogue, but it’s the wrong one for earning a returning and referring clientele—defining the Smooth Sale. If anything, these company types are experiencing high waves and rocky sailing, not to mention the possibility of capsizing.

That being said … I’m not a fan of … Integrations With Other Apps While I am generally not in favor of asking your CRM to do too much, and when you start connecting a variety of disparate apps … that’s too much, my main issue with integrations lies with client expectations.

For businesses that prioritize profit margins and cash flow, the ability to manage an advertising budget is a fundamental skill. Overspending due to human error almost always means a difficult conversation with clients and stakeholders. Allocating and managing a budget in PPC looked very different a decade ago.
