    This episode is a repost from ROI's Into the Corner Office Podcast, hosted by Brandt Handley. In this conversation, Brandt sits down with Nick Turner, CEO of Dreamdata, to discuss his unconventional path to the corner office. From growing up in rural Virginia and co-owning a construction company through the 2008 financial crisis to spending nearly two decades building and scaling B2B go-to-market teams, Nick's journey offers valuable lessons in leadership, resilience, and self-awareness. The discussion explores how early life experiences shaped Nick's leadership philosophy, the lessons he learned from shutting down a business during a recession, and why understanding his strengths as an operator ultimately prepared him for the CEO role.

    Repost: Personal Branding for the "Quiet" B2B Expert with Goldie Chan

    Why is the “Cringe Factor” one of the biggest hurdles in B2B marketing? Most B2B organizations are powered by brilliant, introverted subject matter experts: the engineers, data scientists, and technical founders who have the deep insights the market craves. These experts aren’t known to shove themselves into the limelight, with personal branding feeling more like a cry for attention than a good business decision. In this session, we are joined by Goldie Chan, the "Oprah of LinkedIn," Forbes columnist, and author of Personal Branding for Introverts. Goldie has spent her career bridging the gap between high-level tech and human-centric storytelling. We’ll chat about how B2B marketers can harness their technical voice without feeling like an influencer. What we will cover: - The 5 C’s Framework: Goldie’s logical, step-by-step approach to building a brand through Clarity, Consistency, Competency, Confidence, and Community. - Reputation vs. Personal Brand: How to help your experts understand that if they don’t tell their story, the market will tell it for them. - Minimum Viable Content (MVC): Strategic ways to get high-value insights onto LinkedIn without the burnout of daily posting. - The "Teacher" Mindset: Shifting the narrative from "self-promotion" to "industry education" to get immediate buy-in from quiet experts.

    Repost: Mark Ritson: Making B2B Marketing Work Better

    B2B marketing isn’t struggling because of a lack of tools, channels, or budget. It’s struggling because too many teams have lost focus on the fundamentals. In a world obsessed with funnels, dashboards, and short-term performance, marketers are executing more than ever - but often without clear strategy. Tactics come before diagnosis. Measurement is everywhere, but impact is still unclear. In this session, Mark Ritson joins Dreamdata to challenge how modern B2B marketing is done - and reset what good actually looks like. Expect a candid, no-BS conversation on: - Why most B2B marketing starts in the wrong place - The over-focus on short-term performance - and what it’s costing you - Why brand building still matters (yes, even in B2B) - Where measurement creates the most value in B2B - What actually drives sustainable growth More importantly, you’ll walk away with tangible takeaways you can apply immediately: - How to refocus your marketing around strategy, not just execution - How to balance long-term brand building with short-term results - How to prioritize what actually moves the needle - And how to use measurement to support better decisions and prove real impact Mark Ritson is known for cutting through marketing nonsense and bringing the focus back to what works: clear strategy, smart prioritization, and long-term effectiveness. If you’re a B2B marketer under pressure to deliver results - and want a clearer, more effective way to do it - this session is for you.

    Repost: Obviously Awesome: April Dunford’s 2026 Positioning "Do-Over"

    Seven years ago, April Dunford wrote the book on B2B positioning. After 100,000 copies sold and 200+ more client projects, she’s back with us for the second year running to share what she’s learned since and what she’s changing. The 2026 Expanded Edition of Obviously Awesome is a refinement of the craft. April reveals why she’s collapsed her 10-step process into a streamlined 5-step framework and how she’s finally solving the "Value Gap" where most marketers get stuck. We’ll dive into: - The 10-to-5 Shift: Why she reorganized the framework to better separate pre-work from core strategy. - Solving for "Value": New tactics for the hardest step in the process: defining differentiated value. - The Execution Bridge: How to ensure your positioning doesn't die in a slide deck and actually makes it into the sales pitch. - Scaling Up: New guidance for multi-product companies struggling with complex portfolios. Join us for a masterclass in how positioning has evolved from a "static concept" into a "battle-tested execution playbook" for 2026.

    Repost: Rory Sutherland: The Irrational B2B Buyer & What it Means in 2026

    B2B marketing assumes buyers are rational. They probably aren’t. Buying decisions are shaped by fear, status, reassurance, and habit. Committees amplify uncertainty. Data increases confidence but not always wisdom. In this session, Rory Sutherland explores how B2B decisions are really made. What this means for ads, messaging, and persuasion. Why logic often loses to psychology. Why brands matter more in complex B2B than we like to admit. We’ll talk about measurement, but not as an answer machine. Data as a way to reduce noise. Not to replace judgment. Rory will challenge the idea that better dashboards automatically lead to better decisions. What effective ads actually do in high-risk B2B choices. And why over-optimisation can quietly destroy value. This session is for B2B marketers. For those navigating complex buying journeys. And for anyone who suspects that the real advantage lies in how marketing is framed, not just how it’s measured.

    Leslie Venetz: Why Your B2B Outbound is Killing Your Brand

    Most B2B outbound today is "Legacy Outbound", a high-volume, low-value strategy that assumes a prospect owes you their time. AI-generated spam and guarded inboxes are failing to book meetings and actively destroying your brand’s reputation. In this session of Attributed, Laura Erdem, Sales Director US at Dreamdata, sits down with Leslie Venetz, Founder of The Sales-Led GTM Agency. Leslie is a corporate sales trainer and enterprise selling expert with experience from companies like Walmart, ExxonMobil, and JPMorgan. She’s here to show us how to stop "talking AT" prospects and start earning the right to a conversation. What you’ll learn in this session: ✅ Why your outbound strategy must shift from "pushing a product" to "solving a problem" before you ever ask for a meeting. ✅ How to use the data in the "Dark Funnel" to categorize prospects into Problem, Option, or Vendor Aware, and how your message must change for each. ✅ Why knowing a prospect’s "alma mater" is useless, and how to focus on the business triggers that actually get a C-suite response. ✅ How PMMs can build "Problem-Centered" collateral that sales reps actually want to use. ✅ How to use human-centric strategies to cut through the noise of AI-automated outbound.
