We all spend a lot of time–much of it in grueling brainstorming sessions–debating, honing and delivering OUR messages. From our perspective. Based on what’s in our own brains. (Sometimes I worry that we’re continually brainstorming only because we’ve become addicted to that sickly sweet smell of DRI-ERASE Markers!)

Want to know what THEY–your target audience–are REALLY thinking? What’s on THEIR wish list?

Here you go:

9 Actionable Insights from In-Depth Conversations with 1,200+ B2B Decision-Makers

  1. Understand—or at least ask me about—my goals.

  3. Am I doing this right? What are industry best practices?
  4. Educate me on what’s coming next.
  5. Make more useful content available on your web site. Less fluff.
  6. Send me an SME instead of a sales person.
  7. Stop saying you’re my “partner,” and find tangible ways to align with my interests.
