      • The Truth: Why ABM Usually Fails (And How to Fix It)

        $600k in new business, all from an ABM campaign!?

        You read that right!

        In this episode of Between the Silos, host Jen sits down with Zane DeZeeuw, Senior Account Manager at Vye, to demystify the buzz around Account-Based Marketing (ABM). Together, they unpack how true sales and marketing alignment can win back decade-old lost clients, generate six-figure deals, and — most importantly — humanize B2B relationships.

        Zane shares an inside look at a real ABM campaign that flipped a 12-year-old negative perception into over $600K in new business, plus why most ABM strategies fail (and how to fix them). Whether you’re in sales, marketing, or trying to bridge the gap between both, this episode will have you rethinking how you connect with your best-fit accounts.

        Stay tuned till the end for the “Hot Seat” segment, where Zane shares his favorite (and least favorite) corporate jargon and why he’ll never say “circle back” again.

      • Be Proactive, Not Reactive: Planning Your 2026 Marketing Strategy

        Marketing is an investment, not an expense. 


        Of course, a marketing podcast would say that. BUT we’ve seen it too many times: marketing is treated like a fire extinguisher rather than a growth engine. By then, it’s too late. 


        As you prepare 2026 budgets, now is the time to decide where marketing fits in. Listen to Growth Partner, Rachael Horn, share what she’s learned from working with both reactive and proactive companies over the years.

        • Unpacking “Power Over” Vs. “Power With” for Effective Leaders

          Power in leadership is inevitable. The question is — how are you using it? 

           

          Bill Mills, CEO and business coach, unpacks what it means have “power with” vs. “power over” your team.
