    Rob Harris talks to Reggie James on HubSpot, AI, and Why Websites Aren't Going Anywhere

    Website traffic patterns are changing. Website importance isn't. Rob spent eight years as an in-house developer working with clients. Three years ago, he founded Betta Webs and committed entirely to specialising in HubSpot. We discussed that decision, what is genuinely useful in HubSpot's AI toolkit, and why the "websites are dead" crowd have it backwards.What we covered:01:03 - How Rob went from custom CMS to WordPress to HubSpot at an agency, then freelancing on the side before starting Betta Webs02:54 - Why he picked HubSpot in 2020 when their drag-and-drop CMS got good and "not many people were doing it"04:43 - The whole "you don't own your site on SaaS platforms" thing - Rob points out you don't really own WordPress either, you're still paying forhosting06:27 - HubSpot AI tools that work (customer support agent, content remix) and the ones Rob hasn't bothered with yet (AI-generated pages) 10:15 - Why he builds sites with modular drag-and-drop components - lets marketers publish landing pages without waiting on developers13:18 - Why "you don't need a website" is broken logic - AI needs to scrape data from somewhere, and that somewhere is usually websites 15:49 - Your website traffic is probably dropping. Your website's value as a due diligence asset isn't.17:10 - What Rob's into outside work: YouTube, Netflix, waiting for Stranger Things season 5--------------------------------Rob Harris - Betta WebsWeb: https://bettawebs.com/LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/robharris17-------------------------------- #robharris #bettawebs #reggiejames #digitalclarity #gtm #hubspot #b2b #webdesign

    Reggie James & Nigel Blake - From Financial Services to Lead Gen Innovation:

    How Nigel Blake Built Perfect Pitch Through Empathy and Strategic Thinking What happens when a seasoned sales director discovers that traditional B2B telemarketing is fundamentally broken? In this compelling episode, Nigel takes us inside his entrepreneurial journey from the high-pressure world of financial services to founding Perfect Pitch, a lead generation business that's rewriting the rules of B2B customer acquisition. The Genesis of a Different Approach After years witnessing the shortcomings of conventional telemarketing agencies, Nigel identified a critical gap in the market. Studies show that 57% of the buyer's journey is complete before prospects ever engage with sales (CEB/Gartner research), yet most lead generation firms still rely on outdated, transaction-focused tactics. Nigel's solution? Build genuine human connections first. The Unconventional Competitive Advantage Here's where the story gets fascinating: Nigel discovered that actors between roles possessed an unexpected superpower for lead generation. Their training in empathy, active listening, and authentic communication skills typically absent in script-reading telemarketers—created meaningful prospect conversations that converted. Research from the Harvard Business Review confirms that emotional connection in B2B sales can increase customer lifetime value by up to 306%. Evolution in a Digital-First World The episode explores how Perfect Pitch adapted from traditional phone-based outreach to a sophisticated hybrid model combining voice, email, and social touchpoints. With 78% of decision-makers saying they've taken appointments through cold outreach (RAIN Group study), Nigel's strategic approach to first impressions and ideal customer profile identification demonstrates why methodology matters more than volume. Beyond the Pitch: Building for the Long Term Nigel's philosophy centers on radical honesty and relationship longevity over quick wins. In an era where 68% of customers leave because they perceive indifference (Accenture), his commitment to genuine partnership has created sustained competitive advantage. Plus, his candid insights on maintaining founder sanity through exercise offer relatable wisdom for entrepreneurs navigating the startup rollercoaster. Key Takeaways for Founders and Revenue Leaders: How network leverage can secure initial clients without traditional marketing spendWhy empathy-driven communication outperforms script-based approaches in complex B2B salesStrategic frameworks for defining and targeting ideal customer profiles in crowded marketsThe economics of relationship-based selling versus transactional lead generationPractical founder wellness strategies for long-term entrepreneurial successWhether you're building a service business, leading revenue teams, or rethinking your go-to-market strategy, Nigel's story offers actionable lessons on innovation, authenticity, and sustainable growth in B2B sales. #B2BLeadGeneration #SalesStrategy #EntrepreneurJourney #StartupGrowth #RevOps

    Understanding GTM: A Strategy Guide for B2B Tech Leaders

    A Go-To-Market strategy is a tactical action plan that outlines how a company will present its products or services to the market to achieve a competitive advantage and meet business objectives. It encompasses various aspects, including product positioning, pricing, distribution channels, and marketing tactics, all tailored to address the needs and preferences of the target audience. The primary goal is to enhance the overall customer experience by offering superior products or services and creating a clear framework to penetrate a defined market effectively. Origins of GTM The concept of a structured approach to market entry has evolved over time. Whilethe exact origin of the term "Go-To-Market" is not distinctlydocumented, the practice of strategizing market entry dates back to the early 20th century, when companies began formalizing sales and distribution processes. Over the decades, GTM strategies have transformed, adapting to changes in consumer behavior, technological advancements, and competitive dynamics. These strategies have become more sophisticated in the digital age, integrating data analytics and customer insights to drive decision-making. ----------------------------------------- Web: https://digital-clarity.com/ Twitter: https://x.com/reggie_james_ #GoToMarket #GTMStrategy #GTM #B2BMarketing #GrowthStrategy #B2BTech #TechSales #MarketingStratgey
