Actionable advice on starting and growing business in a data-driven way.

Unconference B2B events

Traditional B2B events are fading. Here’s what works now.

Your attendees don’t want another PowerPoint presentation. They don’t want to sit quietly while someone famous talks at them for an hour. And they definitely don’t want to be hunted down by desperate salespeople in a convention center.

What they want is conversation, connection, and solutions to real problems.

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. The most successful B2B companies build dedicated growth teams with clear structures, processes, and goals. But there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to creating these teams.

Traditional marketing fails because it’s built on assumptions rather than evidence. A staggering 95% of product launches fail within their first year. The solution? Stop guessing and start testing.

B2B companies that adopt experimentation-led go-to-market (GTM) strategies gain a competitive edge by systematically testing hypotheses, measuring outcomes, and scaling what works. This data-driven approach removes subjective decision-making from marketing and focuses entirely on results.

This guide breaks down the framework for implementing an experimentation-led GTM strategy that delivers measurable results for B2B companies. Learn how to identify your ideal market segment, collect the right data, build effective lead generation systems, and create a growth engine that consistently delivers qualified leads.

So why the massive gap between potential and reality? And more importantly, how do you build an ABM program that actually works?

Let’s cut through the noise and build something that delivers real ROI in just six weeks.

Ever poured thousands into ads targeting the “perfect audience” only to watch your money disappear?

You’re not alone.

Most marketers skip the crucial first step that separates winners from losers: finding your actual crowd before scaling.

I’ve seen companies blow six figures on campaigns targeting audiences they thought would convert. Spoiler alert: most didn’t.

The problem isn’t your product. It’s not even your messaging (yet). It’s that you’re talking to the wrong damn people.

Your Marketing Is Worthless Without a Clear ICP

Your B2B marketing is broken if you can’t define your ideal customer in one sentence. Period.

Most companies burn through budgets targeting everyone with generic messaging that resonates with no one. The result? Wasted spend, weak conversion rates, and sales teams complaining about lead quality.

The solution isn’t complicated, but it requires something most marketers avoid: making hard choices about who NOT to target. Defining your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) isn’t optional if you want predictable revenue growth. It’s the foundation everything else builds upon.

Let’s cut through the noise and fix this fundamental problem.
