December 8, 2017 10:59 am Published by Leave your thoughts  B2B Double Opt-in: Part of Fulfilling your GDPR compliance B2B Double opt-in may seem complex, but it isn't! Shorten your GDPR compliance journey and let your web visitors give you their consent to use their information via opt-in and opt-out options. But is double opt-in mandatory? How does it work? What processes should your organisation follow to fulfill GDPR? Such questions may seem simple but they aren't. In a previous post, we've presented a B2B plan for GDPR and how it looks like for B2B when it comes to Costs, Plans, and Fines. Apparently, what was confusing for some, is the notion...

B2B Plan for GDPR: 97% DON’T have a Plan, Do YOU?

November 23, 2017 10:49 pm Published by Leave your thoughts  B2B Plan for GDPR to Comply with the Norms and Regulations It's a ticking clock for B2B to comply with the GDPR regulations and norms. Soon your business needs to follow up and set a plan on how to proceed with this new law. It has always been that B2B marketers have some advantages over their B2C cousins. But here, consent for B2B marketing will come more in line with B2C marketing. Almost 6 months left until the enforcement deadline for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The responsibility lies not only on marketers but also on every member of a company. Let us...

How to do Challenger Sales: Stop the brown-nosing! And the big role of Marketing

September 1, 2017 9:45 am Published by Leave your thoughts   The first time I heard about Challenger Sales, I intuitively felt it explained some of the successful sales cases I had experienced myself, but I thought it described even more a personality and the way in which I saw some successful sales representative being able to consistently outsell the rest of us. When hiring new sales guys, I thought I needed to look for a typical kind of personality, a certain level of strangeness and awkwardness, for someone who would never agree, but still be able to sell somehow. I thought that's what it meant for someone to be able...

What is GDPR & Why should you Care?

April 26, 2017 8:38 pm Published by Leave your thoughts The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has finally been passed by the EU parliament in April 2016 and it will become enforceable on the 25th of May, 2018. That's all well and good, but what is it and how is it going to affect how you do business? What is GDPR?

The purpose of this is to help synchronize varying data protection laws across Europe with the ultimate aim to protect...

Why Believing these 5 Marketing Automation Myths Makes you A Rookie

October 20, 2016 6:35 pm Published by Leave your thoughts I had recently been discussing marketing automation. Not with a prospect, but with a genuine friend of mine who had started his own business in the sports medicine field. He was doing ok for himself and I was very happy for him. But we had very different views on marketing automation, he was going on and on about how he didn't have time to learn such a system for not much benefit, he thought marketing automation was impersonal and his main sales approach was face to face or over the phone. All I could think was WHAT A ROOKIE. His novice...

According to a poll conducted by Express in the UK, people feel guilty for a wide range of reasons: not calling friends or family enough, not going to the gym, not sticking to their diet and; even gossiping.
