Partnership management resonates deeply with the Web3 mindset. Just as businesses are moving towards ecosystems to serve customers and prospects, Web3 technology enables decentralized networks where multiple parties collaborate for mutual benefit. In Web3, smart contracts and blockchain ensure trust and transparency, much like the alignment you mention.

For Web3, the success isn't just one project; it's the collective growth of the entire ecosystem. Take DeFi as an example, where various projects interconnect and create value for all. The 'better together' concept is fundamental. Ecosystem growth depends on collaboration, not isolation.

Integrated SaaS solutions aligns with Web3's concept of 'composability.' When different dApps can seamlessly integrate, users have more reasons to stay and pay. It's a win-win.

The current call to move away from a narcissistic approach of business also resonates in the Web3 community, where decentralized, open-source, and community-driven projects prioritize value over profit.

Let's discuss how applying your Partnership models to Web3 methods will initiate a list of eager participants!

The Web3 “Co-Ownership Economy”

can be applied through Partnerships

  • Capacity to Adapt
  • Reaches Decision Makers - you can have all five of the skills listed in the hbr.com article but if a salesperson can't reach and meet with the decision maker, the skills listed above and below cannot be leveraged. Salespeople who reach decision makers are 341% more likely to close the business.
  • Consultative Seller - Salespeople must uniquely differentiate themselves and provide the prospect with an ideal solution that is both cost and needs appropriate. The best way to do that is with a consultative approach based on excellent listening and questioning skills, attributes of the Consultative Seller competency at which only 11% of all salespeople are strong
  • Value Selling - The ability to sell at a profitable margin is very important to most companies. Selling Value is the skill that drives profit but it requires a set of beliefs, strategies and tactics to support the effort. Simply spouting off a company's value proposition will not get the job done. Only 31% of all salespeople have Selling Value as a strength.

70 of 178

1. Reciprocity: We are obliged to give if we have been given something

2. Scarcity: If it's scarce, we want it more. Use this by highlighting the Benefits, Uniqueness and Possible Loss

3. Authority: We are more likely to comply with a request if it is coming from a perceived authority/expert

4. Consistency: We want to be consistent with our past commitments, even if the initial commitment is much smaller

5. Liking: We like people who are similar, who give us compliments and who cooperate with us

6. Consensus: If others (especially similar others) are doing it, then we are more likely to do it ourselves

You Best Presentation’s 5 Steps:

Name the enemy: This step is about identifying the problem or challenge that your product or service aims to solve. It's very relevant because in B2B sales, it's crucial to clearly define the pain points or challenges your potential clients are facing. By naming the "enemy," you create a shared understanding of the problem, making it easier to present your solution.

Why now? (for your solution): Timing is critical in sales and marketing. Understanding why your solution is needed now can help create a sense of urgency. With the rapidly evolving business landscape and technology, this step is even more important today. Explain why your solution is timely and relevant.

Show the promised land: Before diving into the details of your solution, it's essential to paint a vivid picture of the positive outcomes and benefits your clients will experience. This is a powerful technique in sales and marketing, as it helps your audience envision a better future, making them more receptive to your message.

Identify obstacles and how to overcome: Recognizing potential objections and challenges that your audience might have is a cornerstone of effective persuasion. Providing solutions to these obstacles demonstrates that you've thought ahead and can address concerns. This step is incredibly relevant, especially in B2B sales, where clients often have specific concerns or objections.

Tell the truth, show evidence: Honesty and credibility are paramount in any presentation. Providing evidence, whether it's case studies, testimonials, or data, reinforces the trustworthiness of your message. In today's information age, transparency and evidence-based claims are even more critical as clients have access to vast amounts of information. Blockchain can provide transparency and evidence through immutable records

Insights into your Social Marketing Machine…

111 of 178

1) A quick and partially reliable way to see if someone shares original thoughts

instead of only reposting others (so they may be more likely to consider and

champion your new ideas)... is to check their Linkedin Activity tabs, such as “Posts”

2) For your fans, make your content shareable on a “Current Actions” page ...a web page updated for everyone in your community to easily share your latest content - text, links, hashtags, and images. For Twitter, shoot for 120 characters to allow room for customization. Also share the day. Here is an example with an image (always use one):

Save the date for #IoT reality-check at #MIT for #ConnectedThings2021 - Mon April 9, 2022

Per Chris Walker - Refine Labs Here are the 6 most common places B2B Marketing budgets are wasted:

1. Google Ads - by far the most money gets wasted here. It’s a mess.

2. Trade show booths or conference sponsorships

3. Gated content syndication (to pay $50 for an email address that you could get on ZoomInfo for 75 cents)

4. LinkedIn lead gen (to hit vanity “lead” or “pipeline” metrics that never become customers)

5. Excessive headcount to support low ROI programs (those programs should just get turned off)

6. Excessive investment in Marketing technology (when the real solution is doing basic marketing fundamentals)

__

Tons of marketing teams come to me and say “We need more budget”.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t need more budget. You need to make your existing budget drive significantly better ROI.

And the way you make your existing budget drive significantly better ROI is by scrutinizing all of your marketing budget & programs and making choices about what not to do.

Most B2B companies refuse to make these choices, so they end up doing a bunch of marketing programs in a mediocre way and get below average results. They spread out budget & resources & focus.

Scrutinize all those line items in a high growth SaaS company, and viola, you have millions of dollars of budget that can be redeployed to things that work WAY better:

1. Build the leading podcast for your industry or target buyer

2. Execute weekly content-driven events to create demand & fuel a social content engine

3. Hire a CFO to work on your Marketing team to be the host of your podcast & leader of your community for Finance professionals because your actual CFO is “too busy” (aka isn’t prioritizing it)

4. Execute proper Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn ads that actually drive demand for your category, brand, and product (instead of collecting “leads” that never close)

5. Build a community for your target audience that delivers enormous value in terms of professional development, peer support, content and professional advancement.

^^these are all things B2B companies don’t do right now because “we don’t have any budget”.

Instead they spend all their program budget on outdated tactics that pump up vanity metrics & drive awful ROI.

And for some reason they never actually measure the ROI of those activities.

#marketing #b2b #demandgen

p.s. If the Marketing was actually working, it should be super easy to get additional budget in a high growth company. Put together a business case & show how additional budget will fuel at least 3-5x qualified pipeline or 1x revenue for every dollar spent.

136 of 178

Per Chris Walker - Refine Labs Here's how to Build a B2B Brand:

1. Open Up an Ongoing Stream on Customer Insights that your competitors never see

Build a recurring community event where you offer free consulting to your target customers. All of the questions & data you get from this are pure consumer insights.

Identify the social networks, groups, and communities where your customers spend their time.

Don’t make assumptions!

Figure out how to be a part of those communities. Act like a peer, not a vendor.

If you approach this with the right mindset, you now have an ongoing stream of market insights every single day that your competitors never see (because they aren’t looking).

2. Build a Native Content Strategy Optimized for Dark Social

You need a completely different content strategy for dark social than you do for SEO. That’s why most companies fail at social. Because they try to copy & paste their Google search strategy into LinkedIn (and it, obviously, fails).

The difference is on Google someone searches for something and then you give it to them (they have intent to find that information).

That’s not how it works on social - there is no intent. Which forces you to create content that people actually want.

Your content needs to be so much more relevant. So much more expertise-driven. So much more customer-centric. Build your team & allocate resources accordingly.

3. Identify the Dark Social channels for initial distribution.

We initially distribute content on LinkedIn, Podcast & YouTube. We get a lot of consumption directly on those platforms.

Then there is secondary & tertiary distribution where people share the content & ideas in Slack channels, DMs, text messages, direct word of mouth, Facebook groups, LinkedIn shares, the list goes on and on.

There’s no tracking so companies don’t even realize it’s happening.

4. Strategize, Produce, Distribute, Analyze, Repeat

Build an agile loop to consistently produce & distribute content. Listen to audience feedback. Engage in the comments. Look for qualitative insights about where they’re sharing it.

The data here is mainly qualitative and not reflected in attribution software so most marketers don’t know what to do.

__

And that’s how you build a B2B brand in 2021. It’s really that simple.

If you’re a B2B company, your objective should be that everyone in the market LOVES us.

Not just the people that use your product.

And they love you because:

1. We go into things with the right mindset

2. We have a progressive, modern strategy for marketing & interacting with our customers & the market

3. We produce the best information on the internet for our buyers & we distribute it *natively* in the channels where they actually pay attention

4. We don’t spam people with sales-focused messaging all the time trying to shove them into meetings when they hate it

#marketing #b2b

p.s. In 2011, brand was built with trade show booths & banner ads & SEO. But that was a decade ago and a lot has changed since then

137 of 178

Per Chris Walker - Refine Labs - Here are 6 pillars to build your word of mouth strategy:

1. Product / Customer Success

Having strong-fit customers that love your product & want to tell other people about it is step 1. This one is obvious & most companies recognize it’s importance.

2. Content

I don’t think most people really understand how much content can be shared over the internet as a form of word-of-mouth.

To execute this effectively, you need (1) A content strategy your buyers love, (2) A distribution strategy that effectively reaches those people, ideally in channels with high organic reach, (3) Consistent execution for a sustained period of time. Most companies miss on 1, if not all 3, of these.

3. Events

Create an EXPERIENCE that people love & want to talk about. Most companies approach events to get “leads”. And if they changed their mindset around its purpose - to create an experience people love - they'd probably create a fundamentally different event.

It’s not about just doing events, it’s about HOW you do them.

4. Community

Whether you own the community or your participating in other communities, both can work, but OWNED is certainly more advantageous long-term. This is about being active in your buyers World, engaging like a human, building relationships & helping people in real-time.

Companies struggle with this because their metrics, attribution, and incentive structures are often in direct conflict with the behaviors required to build a community people love.

There's a MASSIVE opportunity for the few that bring the right mindset & execute properly on this one.

5. VIP Customer Evangelist Program

Identify your top customers who love your product & are evangelizing it in the market. Then building an awesome VIP program for them to continue to fuel that.

Some ideas: All expenses paid trip where they get to learn & network with their peers. Access to beta features. Limited edition swag. Participation in content/events. There are a million things you could do for this. Reverse-engineer what those people want & then deliver it to them.

6. Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) // Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is not new. Tobacco companies sponsored movie stars in the 1930s. Nike sponsored Michael Jordan in 1985. I partnered with top Emergency physicians in 2017 to have them speak at conferences about how they use our product to get better results for their patients.

There are a ton of ways to do this in an authentic way to drive awareness of your brand/product/category & word-of-mouth.

#marketing #b2b #demandgen

p.s. You may look at these tactics & say “we’re doing all of these”. A lot of companies do events, but not many do them like us. A lot of companies do content marketing, but not many do them like us. It’s not about what tactics, it’s about HOW you do them.

The Twelve Traits of a Good Marketer (in no particular order) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cassidyshield/

  • Good marketers make it their job to know the market, the competition, and the company’s products better than anyone else - and they share their knowledge with other stakeholders at the company. Bad marketers don’t know the product thoroughly and don’t stay up-to-date with the market landscape.
  • Good marketers measure themselves on revenue generated. Bad marketers measure themselves on leads generated or traffic generated.
  • Good marketers feel ownership of the go-to-market process end-to-end. Bad marketers blame the product or the sales team for lack of success.
  • Good marketers define and articulate a strong and unique position for their company, division, and products. Good marketers use easy-to-understand and straightforward language as if you were talking to a friend. Bad marketers don’t think about positioning or hide behind marketing jargon to define their products.
  • Good marketers understand that their company’s brand encompasses all materials, people, and external-facing processes - and are fierce about ensuring that the brand stays consistent across all of the above. Bad marketers allow off-brand activities ‘just this once.’
  • Good marketers are relationship builders who get out and meet customers, prospects, and peers. Bad marketers only talk to people that work at their company.
  • Good marketers run integrated programs and seek to reuse and redistribute assets as much as possible. Bad marketers run one-off campaigns that aren’t well thought out.
  • Good marketers experiment and frequently ship while maintaining an extremely high quality of work. Bad marketers create and ship long, drawn own programs that may or may not work.
  • Good marketers use data to drive decision making up to a point where experience and intuition take over. Bad marketers rely on gut feel alone.
  • Good marketers hustle and are curious, gritty, fearless. They are the team that should push the company to be uncomfortable. Bad marketers play it safe.
  • Good marketers are proactive. They get in front of the market, your prospects, and customers. Bad marketers wait until someone raises their hand.
  • Good marketers question the status quo. They continually ask if they are doing the right tasks the right way, and then modify if needed. Bad marketers do things ‘because we always do it this way’ or to get it done.

Win or Lose… With Data

In a world where everything and everyone is represented by data, those who are best at turning data into action will win, and those who do not have access to it or cannot make it actionable will lose.

Since the volume of data already exceeds the human capacity to comprehend it, and the velocity of data is increasing and will always increase, your ability to make evidence-based decisions will be directly proportional to your level of literacy in the fields of:

Saying…

  • Safe Debate is as important as realizing that compromise is the goal, not a failure
  • It takes a village - diverse viewpoints for diverse solutions… Crystalized Wisdom is earned
  • Cool Aunts and Uncles fill your sails with wind, but also help you navigate thru storms
  • Better to have a smaller % of growth than 100% of stagnation
  • Monopoly lesson = invent new rules during other player’s turns
