Today, I’m going to discuss how to have consistent positioning and messaging across sales and marketing using tactics from my book Sales Pitch. You will learn:

  • Why marketers at B2B companies should start with the sales pitch first
  • An overview of buyer’s guides and the components of the best ones
  • How to create an explainer video using the sales pitch structure
  • Why all content should target the proper persona
  • Examples of graphics used to educate buyers
  • Other types of content that can be structured around the sales pitch

You'll also hear that this is the final episode of Season 1, as I'm excited to take a break from podcasting for the rest of the year. Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast, and I look forward to recording more content next year!
