Summary
There’s a new truth in B2B marketing: if you want to move products， you need to move minds。
Most companies suffer from a delusion， and it’s this: that buyers always make decisions in a rational， logical， and economic way。 The result is a slew of features-driven B2B marketing that few people really care about。 In recent years B2B customers have evolved。 The don’t just want to buy from businesses anymore， they want to buy into them。
The problem is too few B2B companies realize this。 They continue with the same product-centric marketing that increases revenue by a percentage point here and there。 It seems safe but it’s dangerously short-sighted， because it doesn’t deliver the transformational and long-term growth that makes businesses category leaders。
It’s even more important to address this issue at such a critical and delicate moment in the world economy。 Marketing leaders require strategies that have an exponential， rather than an incremental， effect on brand， marketing and sales， and to implement them they need the new super-skills this book teaches。
This involves establishing a core purpose， shifting the focus from products to people， from features to feelings and from messaging to storytelling， acknowledging that neuro science has proved that people buy on emotion and justify with fact。 In other words， it requires a completely different mindset to the one that’s prevalent right now， one that we call ‘Humanizing B2B’。

In their Golden Triangle model for effective B2b communications the language of emotion sits on top of the triangle above the language of product and customer。 Emotions can be tapped in to through storytelling， something that authors Paul Cash and James Trezona are adept at。They outline five principles for Humanizing B2b:1。It’s about people not products2。 You need purpose that’s actioned3。Emotion is your marketing core4。Likeability is transformational5。 Storytelling is your vehicle In this fun t In their Golden Triangle model for effective B2b communications the language of emotion sits on top of the triangle above the language of product and customer。 Emotions can be tapped in to through storytelling， something that authors Paul Cash and James Trezona are adept at。They outline five principles for Humanizing B2b:1。It’s about people not products2。 You need purpose that’s actioned3。Emotion is your marketing core4。Likeability is transformational5。 Storytelling is your vehicle In this fun to read book Paul and James provide great tips and insight about how you build these five principles into your own marketing。I’d highly recommend that you buy the book if you are a B2b marketer and be brave enough to centred your marketing around the emotional factors that are important to your customers。 In our recent book Standout Marketing my co-authors and I found that too many companies still focus on their products and themselves too much。 In Cash and Trezona we have found B2b soulmates who offer brave B2b marketers a clear path for standing out through storytelling tuned in to customers emotions。Dr Simon Kelly co-author Value-ology and Standout Marketing 。。。more

Humanizing。 What a good idea！ After centuries of machines doing business， maybe it is time to get some humans in。

I got a chance to read ARC of this book。 The book described an approach in B2B marketing that is deadly required in today's business world。 When marketing is featured driven it does not provide enough of emotional context for customers to make a purchasing decision。 I agree that value must be communicated in the first place together with a human touch。 At the end of the day people are making purchasing decision even in B2B space。 I got a chance to read ARC of this book。 The book described an approach in B2B marketing that is deadly required in today's business world。 When marketing is featured driven it does not provide enough of emotional context for customers to make a purchasing decision。 I agree that value must be communicated in the first place together with a human touch。 At the end of the day people are making purchasing decision even in B2B space。 。。。more

For years I've been trying to convince my students and training attendees that LinkedIn is not and shouldn't be a sterile， boring and conservative place。 Nothing B2B-related should be like that！ Quite the opposite - valuable professionals usually are valuable and likeable people as well。 The same is true for B2B brands - selling to other companies doesn't require acting as a robot， since all companies are made of people and we're all marketing and selling to other people。 While browsing on NetGa For years I've been trying to convince my students and training attendees that LinkedIn is not and shouldn't be a sterile， boring and conservative place。 Nothing B2B-related should be like that！ Quite the opposite - valuable professionals usually are valuable and likeable people as well。 The same is true for B2B brands - selling to other companies doesn't require acting as a robot， since all companies are made of people and we're all marketing and selling to other people。 While browsing on NetGalley for new #businessbooks， I found a title that caught me with the same messages and values - 'Humanizing B2B' by Paul Cash and James Trezona， founders of Rooster Punk， a B2B Storytelling agency。 It will be available by the and of April and it is a must for every B2B marketer。 Just a couple of the stuff I've highlighted on my e-reader:- Paul and James have created five principles to show that humanized B2B marketing is hot as complicated as it might seem - it's about people， not products; you need a purpose that's actioned; emotion is at your marketing code; likeability is transformational; and storytelling is your vehicle。- They have gathered useful models and tools for great storytelling （the Brand archetypes model， the five-stage Story framework model， etc。） 。。。more
