  • How To Craft A Hook That Grabs Attention Instantly: B2B Marketing Micro-Lesson

    Matthew Carnevale, Marketing Manager at Exit Five, breaks down a core copywriting skill that every marketer needs: crafting a hook that grabs attention right away. Too often, marketers "bury the hook" by failing to get to the point, leaving potential customers scrolling past.

    Matthew shares the top three elements of a strong hook, why questions don’t work as well as statements, and real-world examples of hooks that have proven to be irresistible. By the end, you’ll know how to create concise, clear, and compelling hooks that keep people engaged from the first word.

    In this episode, Dave is a guest on the We're Not Marketers podcast, hosted by Zach Roberts (Founder of Break Into Product Marketing), Eric Holland (current Product Marketer at Klue), and Gab Bujold (Founder at Press X to Market). They sit down to talk about Dave’s journey in B2B marketing—from marketing manager to CMO—hosting a podcast for B2B marketing, and organizing Exit Five’s first-ever in-person event, Drive in Burlington. Plus, Dave answers one important question: Are product marketers actually marketers?

    We’re Not Marketers and Dave also cover:

    • One way “frameworks” might hurt your product storytelling.
    • Why you can’t just start a podcast in B2B without this obvious skill?
    • What Dave said is “the most important role in B2B marketing”.
    • Don’t tell sales “what to do”. They almost never listen. Do this instead.
    • Why “messaging by committee” sucks.
    • Good news! The "80% difference" to great B2B marketing, uses two common PMM skills.
    • How can we (product marketers) simplify B2B marketing

  • B2B Marketing Micro-Lesson: Why Every B2B Marketing Email Should Have Just One Call to Action

    In this special episode format, we’re testing out and delivering a B2B marketing lesson in under 10 minutes. No fluff—just practical, real-world insights based on what we’re learning each week here at Exit Five.

    This solo episode features Matthew Carnevale, Marketing Manager at Exit Five, who discusses a key lesson every B2B marketer needs to know: why every marketing email should have just one call to action. 

    Matthew shares the psychology behind decision-making, including Hick's Law, decision fatigue, and Fogg’s Behavioral Model, and explains why simplifying your emails can lead to higher conversions.
