The Psychology of Pricing: Why Hiding Prices Kills B2B Sales
Think back to our previous articles on the dark funnel and personalized VSLs (video sales letters).

Founder-Led Marketing: People Buy From Founders, Not Faceless Logos
Picture this: Your marketing department prepares top-notch graphics and professionally written copy and publishes it on your company’s LinkedIn page.

The End of E-books for Emails: Why Demand Generation Beats Lead Gen
Until recently, B2B marketing had an iron rule: “If you want our best know-how as a PDF or a webinar, you have to give us your email first.” That model worked, but today it’s dead for good. This picks up on our recent piece on the “dark funnel,” where we showed that the best buying […]
