We're Not Marketers

Product marketers, paid landing pages are broken, w/ Tas Bober


Listen Later

If you're tired of building landing pages that follow "best practices" but still fail to convert qualified leads, this episode will change everything. Whether you're a product marketer afraid of paid ads or a demand gen specialist struggling to get PMM buy-in, this episode will help you create pages that actually respect your buyers' intelligence while driving real business results.

 This week, we've joined by Tas Bober, growth marketing advisor and Scroll Lab founder. She reveals why the traditional approach to landing pages and sales collateral is fundamentally broken.


We're covering:


  • Why most B2B landing pages look identical (and why everyone hates them)

  • How hiding pricing backfires when buyers find wildly different answers on Reddit

  • The simple reason most CTAs fail (and it has nothing to do with the button text)

  • How B2B companies waste countless hours debating stock photos instead of fixing real problems

  • The contrarian approach: Why a good landing page should DECREASE your conversion rate

  • "No one buys pants on the first visit" - Why optimizing for direct conversions is misguided

  • How to build a freelance business: "Back up your backup" and why your career hinges on your network


In this episode, Tas explains to the misfits her "champion's business case" framework that replaces manipulative marketing tactics with transparent, value-focused content.

She delivers practical wisdom for creating landing pages that treat buyers like adults.


Listen for actionable insights on disqualifying bad-fit leads, writing effective CTAs, and building a foundation for freelance success beyond the corporate grind.
