Quotes:

“Showing that you deliver value first versus just saying, "Hey, I'm going to cold pitch you" and not give you anything, it makes a big difference.” - Nick Bennett

“What you guys are doing is really bringing a relationship back to marketing, which in a world of an ever-evolving automation, I think we can grow a little cold and we can forget that that's what it's about.“ - Kap Chatfield

“One of the things that I value and has helped make me successful is I understand how to truly deliver value with the sales team.” - Nick Bennett

“When sales sees that you're delivering value to their prospects and helping them move that pipeline across, when you come to them as a marketer. You say, "Hey, you know, I need you to do XYZ for me", they'll say "Absolutely", because you jump on these calls, and without hesitation, you have them reciprocating what you need in return.” - Nick Bennett

“Ideally, with ABM, the goal is to increase your average deal size and then decrease your time to close.” - Nick Bennett

“Content creation is like residual relationship building.” - Kap Chatfield

“If I can help one person a day understand field marketing, or ABM, or how to build your brand, as a marketer, then look, I've done my job.” - Nick Bennett

“I keep that 80/20 split to still stay authentic to who you are and what you're passionate about, but also still understand that you are paid a paycheck by a company to support them as well.” - Nick Bennett

“Sharing personal things, being authentic, and an appropriate amount of that content output, is actually helpful to your overall brand. Because people see a multi-dimension with you, they see that there's some depth to you, and it makes you an easier person to connect with.” - Kap Chatfield

“Everyone knows what your 9-5 is. However, what is the 5-9? And that's what we focus on connecting all these people with the 5-9.” - Nick Bennett
