Could a $5 gesture outperform your entire digital ad budget?

In this second part of my conversation with Kris Rudeegraap, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Sendoso, we start off by discussing the myths surrounding gifting in B2B sales and start tearing them apart. We hear how gifting isn't about flashy $500 items or gimmicks; it's about psychology, creativity, and timing. Kris explains why spending $30 on a thoughtful, well-timed gesture can outperform expensive ad clicks, and how response rates can jump 5-9x when gifting is layered into an omnichannel strategy. We talk about misconceptions around cost, mailing addresses, and whether gifting feels "cheesy."

We explore how gifting works across the full buyer journey, from booking meetings to increasing demo show-up rates, nurturing referrals, and even driving renewals. Kris explains how AI is now powering smarter, more personalized gifting decisions, turning what once felt manual into something scalable and strategic. We get into ROI, conversion metrics, automation, and even the psychology of reciprocity and scarcity that makes gifting so powerful. Gifting isn't just about sending stuff, it's about creating pattern disrupts that buyers actually remember.
