When it comes to creating engagement using marketing, Nicholas shares:
"The quickest way to get people to disengage with your B2B content is to make it look like B2B content because buyer shields go up."
He also shares about how to keep your brand fresh over time:
"When we think about the brand, we think about what and how we're positioning ourselves. It's tacky when you say it like this, but how can we encourage their dreams? How can we, in our messaging, how can we in our products, in our sales process, in everything that we do— how can we justify their failures? How can we confirm their suspicions? Also, and this is a big one, help them throw rocks at their enemies? ."
