In episode 172 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna drill into the single most underrated asset in the enterprise sales cycle: the internal champion. They unpack a real-world scenario from a $40 million software deal, where the champion quietly mapped the economic buyer's hidden priorities while the vendor's team focused on the wrong stakeholder. Lucas walks through the telltale signs of a true champion versus a mere coach, the 'rise of the champion' playbook, and why champions are the only ones who can navigate internal politics when deals stall. Luna challenges him on the risk of over-reliance on a single advocate, and they land on a practical framework to recruit, enable, and protect your champion. If you've ever lost a deal despite having a 'friend' on the inside, this episode gives you the language to spot the difference and the tactics to turn a supporter into a co-seller. No fluff, just one concrete angle you can apply to your next enterprise opportunity.

In this episode of B2B Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a tactic that often gets overlooked in enterprise demand gen: interviewing the economic buyer. They walk through a real case from a cybersecurity software company that ran fifteen interviews with CIOs and CISOs before launching their ABM campaign. The result?

If you're tired of guessing what the economic buyer cares about, this episode gives you a concrete playbook to find out. Lucas and Luna keep it practical, with specific examples and a few hard-won lessons on getting these interviews scheduled in the first place.

Episode 170 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo: Enterprise Demand Gen, ABM, and Long Sales Cycles. Lucas and Luna dive into pricing strategy as a competitive weapon in enterprise deals. They unpack the 'value-based pricing' approach used by companies like Salesforce and HubSpot, contrasting it with cost-plus and competitor-based pricing. The discussion centers on a 2025 Forrester study showing 78% of enterprise buyers choose vendors who clearly articulate ROI on the pricing page. Lucas explains the 'good-better-best' tiering tactic and why anchoring matters, drawing on the classic example of The Economist's subscription pricing. Luna pushes back on the idea that pricing is purely rational, citing behavioral economics nudges. They also cover how to handle discount requests from procurement, the role of pricing in product-led sales motions, and why price changes are a test of customer trust. A concrete takeaway: a pricing page that maps to the customer's budget line can shorten sales cycles by several weeks.

In episode 166 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how product-led sales is reshaping enterprise demand generation and long sales cycles. They dissect the rise of the product-qualified lead (PQL) and the 'aha moment' metric, using Slack's enterprise expansion as a durable case study. The conversation covers how PLS flips traditional ABM on its head—instead of marketing to an account, you let usage inside the account do the talking.

In this episode of B2B Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a counterintuitive strategy for winning enterprise deals: customer obsession. They explore how a Customer Success-led 'voice of customer' program at a mid-size SaaS company became the key to landing a seven-figure contract with a global retailer. Lucas argues that the most persuasive marketing asset isn't a case study or a sales deck — it's a reference call where the customer's enthusiasm is so genuine it derails the buyer's script. Luna pushes back on the idea that this scales, and the hosts break down how to systematize customer obsession with a 'customer love' club, executive win-win workshops, and 'red carpet' onboarding. They also touch on the risk of overselling and the importance of measuring customer sentiment as a leading indicator for pipeline. If you're in B2B marketing and you're tired of the usual ABM playbooks, this episode will give you a fresh angle — and a new metric to track.
