Building a B2B Growth Motion: 5 Non-Negotiables

In this clip from a recent talk to business owners, I break down the five things I tell every founder or operator to lock down before trying to build or scale a B2B growth motion. It's not about generating more leads — it's about knowing your actual target market and the buyer's problem, leading with a message that builds trust instead of a pitch, treating your CRM as core infrastructure instead of an afterthought, recognizing that B2B deals get decided by committees of stakeholders rather than a single buyer, and accepting that AI is now assumed in how you research, sell, and execute rather than optional. Skip any of these and growth tends to stall no matter how much outreach you throw at it.
