All Things Growth and Marketing

B2B audience research shouldn’t be a luxury item. If insights require a massive budget, most teams will never get them. 

You don’t need a six-figure research sprint to learn what people want. The conversations you need are already public, sitting on Reddit, LinkedIn, review sites, and forums, waiting to be mined. The only thing stopping most marketers is habit and a misguided belief that market research needs an agency badge to be legitimate.

The old funnel’s basically dead. Buyers aren’t clicking their way through journeys anymore. They’re discovering brands in places where clicking is optional or nonexistent: AI summaries, LLMs, LinkedIn feeds, and Reddit-style threads. That’s where the momentum starts: where people shape what’s trusted, repeated, and remembered.

Conversion rate optimization (CRO) today requires more than isolated page tweaks or intuition. Buyer behavior shifts rapidly, funnels spread across multiple touchpoints, and CRO teams are expected to validate every decision with evidence. As a result, the skills required to run high-quality experimentation programs are evolving just as quickly.

The gap between teams with strong CRO capabilities and those without is widening. Without the right training, marketers risk misdiagnosing funnel issues, wasting traffic, or relying on tactics that no longer reflect how users behave.

Marketing didn’t suddenly reinvent itself. It just stopped rewarding amateurs. The easy wins are gone, channels are crowded, attention is expensive, and “pretty good” means invisible.

The fastest-growing marketers aren’t doing more; they’re doing what works, on purpose, with systems behind it, quicker than the market shifts. They’re complete marketers who can spot a real opportunity, position it cleanly, tell a story that lands, pick the right levers, and measure what matters. And that’s why they keep getting the bigger briefs, bigger budgets, and bigger titles.

Buyers spend more time talking to LLMs than to coworkers. (and that’s not an exaggeration).

Users ask AI everything from product recommendations to internal research questions. Whether marketers realize it or not, LLMs are already part of the buying process.

When a model becomes the first advisor a buyer consults, your biggest leverage is simple. Make sure the AI knows how to sell your product. If you don’t, someone else will train the narrative first.

The best go-to-market courses teach you more than how to launch a product. You need to know how to validate demand, define your audience, sharpen positioning, choose the right channels, align revenue teams, and measure what happens after launch.

That matters even more in 2026. ICONIQ’s State of GTM research, based on more than 150 B2B software GTM leaders, found that 48% now use hybrid pricing models, while high-growth companies expect self-serve to contribute about 20% of revenue versus roughly 10% for peers. Deeper AI adoption was also associated with higher conversion at parts of the funnel.
