  • Love these guys!

    Matt and Craig are the perfect team. Well-produced podcast, a bit gonzo, and the guests and content are solid. Appreciate the personal anecdotes too—like Craig getting both of his cars stolen or losing his children in the desert.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Agentic AI VS ABM & AI Pricing Explained with Gabe Larsen, Chief Revenue Officer of Signals - Ep 68
Q: Tell us a Go-To-Market story that shaped your view on agentic approaches.
Gabe shares multiple formative sales memories, illustrating the evolution from traditional methods to modern, signal-driven, agentic interactions, highlighting the shift from renting tools to hiring cloud employees and the real-world lessons learned from early ABM experiments.
How the Most Successful B2B Marketing Teams are Winning with Omar Akhtar, Founder of Benchmarker - Ep 72
Q: There's a lot of chatter about AI and hacks—what's your stance on these in marketing?
Hacks and rapid AI-driven tactics aren't scalable or sustainable; the fundamentals—landing pages, email nurture, and consistent value-led content—still matter a lot, and teams should scale the basics while selectively investing in growth channels that actually move the needle.
How the Most Successful B2B Marketing Teams are Winning with Omar Akhtar, Founder of Benchmarker - Ep 72
Q: What role do events play in a modern GTM strategy according to your findings?
Events remain a bright spot, not just big marquee events but targeted, intimate gatherings that help convert prospects and deepen relationships; they are an efficient way to connect with ICPs and turn engagements into measurable pipeline effects.
How the Most Successful B2B Marketing Teams are Winning with Omar Akhtar, Founder of Benchmarker - Ep 72
Q: Omar, what are the top takeaways from your Benchmarker data this year?
The top takeaways are that growth has slowed across the sector, marketing inflation is driving higher costs, and the most successful firms are balancing brand and demand while increasing overall marketing spend as a share of revenue; paid channels still yield faster growth despite higher costs.
“The Who is Everything” with Kathy Macchi, Co-Founder of Inverta - Ep 71
Q: How should companies think about AI in their marketing and sales teams first?
AI should be viewed as a multiplier after you have defined ICPs, market segments, and the targeting strategy; teams must still design and prompt AI effectively before scaling with AI-driven execution.
