The New Marketing Playbook

It's time to reshape how we think about demand gen. Kerry outlines key strategic shifts:

- Stop spending demand gen budget on the 90-95% of accounts that aren't in market

- Focus on early-stage engagement with in-market accounts

- Transform BDR roles from meeting-bookers to buying process concierges

- Build stronger partner ecosystems and customer advocacy channels

Measuring What Matters

Forget MQLs. Kerry introduces new metrics that actually reflect buying behavior:

  • Track meaningful engagement across entire buying groups
  • Measure how effectively you're identifying and engaging in-market accounts
  • Focus on brand preference and relationship building metrics
  • Look at lagging indicators that show marketing's true impact

Making the Transition

Ready to convince your leadership team? Kerry suggests starting with your own data:

  • Show how many leads actually come from the same accounts
  • Demonstrate the buying group patterns in your current data
  • Map out actual buying journeys and timing
  • Build the case for changing how marketing is measured

The Pro Tip

Kerry's immediate action item for marketing teams: Look at your lead data differently. "The way we measure it - one lead equals one selling opportunity - is fundamentally flawed. When you realize that, you can't allow yourself to be measured that way anymore."

Whether you're running campaigns or leading a marketing org, this episode provides the practical steps needed to transform your strategy for today's B2B reality. Because it's time to stop chasing leads and start enabling real buying behavior.
