Because of shifts in today’s buying habits and a challenging economy, in-market buyers are becoming harder to find, traffic to web pages is decreasing, landing pages aren’t converting, and the best channels for prospecting are becoming harder to identify and saturated with competition. However, buyers are more discerning and focused on self-service than ever before. According to our 2023 B2B Buying Disconnect Report, vendors should not be afraid to let their customers do the talking. User reviews are in the top three things a vendor can do to make a buyer’s shortlist and have increased 17% in preference year over year. In fact, 39% of buyers said a lack of user reviews will make them less likely to purchase from you. Buyers need to hear from relatable customers, and generating user reviews is a scalable way to do that. In this panel, TrustRadius’ VP of Marketing, Allyson Havener, will interview top customer voice evangelists on tried-and-true methods for generating demand using customer voice. Speakers include Rowan Tonkin, CMO at Planful, and Rebecca Stone, CMO at Cisco.

We are in a data-saturated world. It is nearly impossible to cut through the noise of all the signals we have coming at us. B2B revenue teams are faced with a heroic task: what is this data actually telling us and what do we do with it? All of this noise is driving a wedge between teams and has created an entirely new bucket of data grunt work to actually get to the truth. How can we help revenue teams prioritize the data and signals that actually drive revenue by mobilizing all their data? We have to bring focus to revenue teams by predicting and prioritizing the right revenue-generating actions. By automating key workflows, prioritizing actionable signals, and working where your teams already are you are able to unlock your revenue teams to be completely focused on driving and closing pipeline.

We’ve all heard content is king, and data is queen—well revenue…it’s the royal family. These days traditional demand generation tactics are no longer enough to ensure the success of our marketing efforts. Instead, revenue marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy to help drive growth and profitability. More holistic of an approach than demand generation, revenue marketing leverages both sales and marketing teams—working together to generate leads and convert them into paying customers. It focuses on the entire customer journey, from lead generation to conversion.
This move, though, requires a shift in both mindset and approach. It requires a deeper understanding of the customer’s journey, as well as a focus on new metrics such as customer lifetime value (CLV), customer acquisition cost (CAC), and return on investment (ROI). Marketers who are ready to take make that transition need to follow three critical steps: aligning marketing and sales, focusing on the customer journey, and learning how to measure and optimize in a new world that is not just lead gen focused. This session will not only cover what revenue marketing is and why it’s important, but also dig deeper into these three steps and provide a guide for breaking down silos, speaking directly to customers’ pain points and interests, and becoming more data-driven and revenue-focused.
In an industry flooded with technology, automated advertising, and generic ‘set it and forget it’ tactics, differentiating yourself hinges on adopting a personalized approach. Gone are the days when a one-size-fits-all strategy suffices! Buyers have become increasingly more discerning about the ‘copy and paste’ methods, spotting them effortlessly—be it templated emails or generic video messages.
To maintain authenticity, marketing leaders must embrace hyper-personalization as a game-changer. Join our experts as they unravel the ABM saga, from turbocharging go-to-market strategies to orchestrating symphonies of collaboration within cross-functional teams. Brace yourself for the generative AI twist that turns content personalization into an art form, akin to a chef’s secret recipe. Get ready to script your own marketing masterpiece, where hyper-personalization takes the spotlight and creativity takes a bow!
With larger buying groups and increased interest in self-guided buyer experiences, the complexity of B2B marketing is increasing. Now with continued economic uncertainty, buyers aren’t even buying. The response from many businesses is to pull back budgets. LinkedIn’s B2B Institute thinks marketers should take a different approach – investing in marketing now means winning in the future.
In this rapid-fire session, you’ll hear 3 research-backed B2B marketing trends that will help your brand grow and win in the long term, like:
ABM has been the name of the game for a better part of a decade. Some have been doing it for years, while others are just getting their feet wet with this strategy – in 2023, we’re seeing ABM take up 41% of marketers’ budgets (a 13% jump when compared with 2022). But lately, ABM seems to be broken. Even though 72% of marketers recognize ABM’s value in ROI, and the focus is there, we continuously see ABM programs fail and teams underachieving. And if SaaS companies keep adding “ABM” onto their products as a solution to the pain, ABM will stay broken. Truth is, there’s no such thing as an ABM Platform or Solution and one single product does not equate to an ABM strategy. ABM is a business motion, therefore requiring an allbound approach. Instead of focusing on what their team can individually do, leaders should leverage their revenue teams, channels and software in one motion with efficiency and shared goals. Only with allbound can you make it work. Allbound is the answer to your pipeline problems.

If you do it right, every single product launch can be an opportunity for connection – unifying your organization, pulling your prospects closer to purchase and cementing your value in your customers’ minds. Doing it right, however, is a science and an art that is hard to master. It requires you to speak the language of the product team one minute and then translate it for your sales team the next. You have to know how to set expectations, anticipate blockers, influence without authority, and a whole host of other skills that they just don’t teach you in school or anywhere else. In this session, I’m sharing my tried and true strategies, frameworks and tips for making the most of every launch. You’ll come away with everything you need to make your next launch your best one.

Nobody likes talking about the marketing fundamentals. AI is sexy and there’s PLG and UGC to spend your time on. But, having worked with companies from high-tech software to your local landscaping company and everything in between, I’ve come to realize there are several key fundamentals that every marketer needs to have before adding all the fancy go-fasters. If you really nail your market segmentation, understand your customer better than they do, and lead with a message that resonates with those key buying personas, everything else falls into place. That’s when the tech like Metadata can really accelerate your growth. But if you don’t have the fundamentals, even great tech won’t save your pipeline.
Most marketers see the value in social proof, but they’re missing the mark. Case studies rarely get read, reviews are often pay-to-play, so how do you build trust with buyers who are self-educating more than ever. In this session, Dustin walks through how to map out your buyers questions, fears, and doubts at each stage of their journey, how to create impactful content for each stage, and why repurposing content is key when it comes to customer stories. There’s an entire hidden pipeline of deals that you’re losing due to lack of trust. It’s time to fix that.
If you’re a marketer at a B2B SaaS company that has begun selling to the enterprise, you know your CEO will inevitably ask, “What’s marketing’s impact on generating sales pipeline?” The foundation to being able to answer that question with confidence is to set up your demand funnel’s measurement in a way that aligns with the reality of your market and selling activities.

You delivered on your promise of designing an event that you would actually attend, which is why I also attended and enjoyed it.
The content was exceptional and highly practical, plus it was fun!
I was surprised at how useful the content was. Usually, with these events, it's a mix of sales content and generic information.
I will make sure to make a bigger effort to block my calendar next time so that I can really soak it all in.
Because of how valuable the content is, and how relevant the speakers are, it's a no-brainer to come back for more!
I haven't seen a virtual event conducted so smoothly (and you know I go to a lot of them). Please keep up the good work.
I appreciate the caliber of speakers and breadth of knowledge. The virtual set-up was one of the best I've seen in the past 18 months.
I haven't even gotten around to watching half of the sessions yet. From what I've seen so far, there's no way I'd miss next year.
Good speaker line-up and agenda. A virtual event that was actually good and worth attending.
The content was really worth attending! I loved that there were so many diverse marketing topics and the speakers were AWESOME (one of the biggest reasons I attended).
