Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Ross Graber joins us on this “Bonus Huddle” episode to enlighten us on which metrics should be on every CMO dashboard–and which should be left off.

As the world of influencer marketing has evolved, so has Traackr, an influencer marketing platform that’s been around since before Instagram and TikTok. In the early days, the brand was all about answering: What is influencer marketing and why should you care? Now, they’re hyper-focused on enabling word-of-mouth marketing at scale for their customers.

How? Via interactive, data-driven content. In this episode, Traackr CMO Evy Lyons shares how the marketing team transformed their State of Influence report into an interactive app, creating an experience that prospects and customers couldn’t ignore.

She describes the development as a “hack”—a hack that has become a vertical marketing tool with a 40%-win rate, that is. No wonder, too, as one survey found that CMOs who invest in interactive content are 72% more likely to meet or exceed their sales and marketing targets.

Tune into this episode to learn more about what it takes to develop a B2B marketing strategy that proves business value, enables sales, and engages audiences all in one.

What you’ll learn:

• How Traackr is making marketing more human
• The business value of interactive, data-driven content
• Why marketers should be thinking like product managers

For many B2B companies, the sales process is broken yet the solution is remarkably simple. It’s time to treat buyers as collaboration partners instead of targets. Time to approach selling as something you do with a prospect rather than to them. Time to make selling more human and more effective in a world where more qualified leads is not resulting in higher win rates.

Simple, right? But not easy. As laid out in Sales expert Andy Paul’s new book Sell Without Selling Out, it takes true courage to transform the current playbook, but those bold enough to take the leap will see shorter decision cycles and higher win rates, any B2B organization’s dream.

In this episode, Andy shares how marketers are uniquely poised to enable sales teams through insights into buyer behavior—introducing a new way of selling that ditches “salesy” to make way for connection, curiosity, understanding, and generosity. Don’t miss it!

• The problem with B2B selling today
• How marketing can improve the buyer experience (and increase win rates)
• How CMOs can build trust with their CRO
