May 14, 2026 Episode 10: How to Become Sales’ Favorite Marketer (and Why It Matters)

You’ll learn why listening to sales calls is one of the most powerful things marketers can do and how becoming sales’ favorite marketer can accelerate your impact and your career.

May 07, 2026Episode 9: The Career Advantage Most Marketers Ignore: Your Personal Brand
Personal branding in your B2B marketing career isn’t about becoming an influencer on LinkedIn.
It’s about becoming known for something valuable in your
organization.
In this episode, Lori explains why personal branding isn’t self-promotion. It’s about reputation, visibility, and influence. If you want to grow your career, move into leadership, or simply have more impact in the room, your personal brand matters more than you think.
You’ll learn:
Why marketers often struggle with visibility inside organizations
How influence grows when people associate you with insight
Why doing great work isn’t always enough for career growth
Practical ways to start shaping what you’re known for
Because the marketers who move into leadership roles usually aren’t just great executors — they’re known for how they think.
