B2B Sales & Marketing Tactics that Win

We dig into the models that work (revenue teams, centers of excellence), the habits that win net-new and expansion (referrals, relevance, multi-channel persistence), and the metrics that matter (leading indicators over vanity stats). Alex also shows how AI tools like Copilot supercharge cadences, case-study pulls, and RFP responses—so your team moves faster and closes smarter.

Episode Takeaways:

  • Alignment drives revenue: Shared goals, shared ops, shared data.
  • Referrals still rule: Earn them with unbeatable service across sales + delivery.
  • Multi-channel wins attention: Relevance + persistence across email, phone, LinkedIn, events.
  • Expand with insight: Mine first-party data, forecast pains 3–5 years out, meet in person.
  • Lead with leading indicators: Track touches, meetings, and channel mix weekly.
  • Be ready for objections: Money, time, existing partner—prepare responses.
  • AI is an accelerant: Automate cadences, surface stories, compress research time.
