Sales & Marketing Alignment with DemandJen

Join us for Sales & Marketing Alignment with DemandJen—a no-BS conversation (not another finger-pointing session) about fixing the friction between sales and marketing teams.

Vende's Paul Slack welcomes back Jen Allen-Knuth, founder of DemandJen, to tackle the real issues: why MQLs aren't working, how to stop treating learners like hand-raisers, and what actually wins the middle of the funnel.

Why Your Messaging Isn’t Landing: A Unique Approach to Uncovering What Buyers Really Want.

Join us for Why Your Messaging Isn't Landing—a neuroscience-backed reality check (not another guessing game) about what actually makes buyers choose you.

Vende's Paul Slack welcomes back Grant Gooding, CEO of PROOF Positioning, to expose the uncomfortable truth: leadership teams guess right about what customers value only slightly better than a computer randomly selecting answers. Expect eye-opening insights on how your brain makes decisions in 200 milliseconds, why "quality" and "customer service" are garbage words that mean nothing, and the four tricks to communicate with the buying brain (objective, simple, emotional, singular).

Winning in the Clickless Future: How Modern B2B Brands Build Visibility, Trust & Pipeline Without the Click.

Traffic is dying. Sales aren't.

That's the uncomfortable truth Rand Fishkin, co-founder of SparkToro and SEO pioneer, will unpack in this special session of The B2B Growth Show. Two-thirds of Google searches now end without a click. Social platforms hoard traffic. AI tools send less than 1% of referrals to external sites. Yet consumer and B2B spending hasn't dropped—it's just that the path to purchase has fundamentally changed.

Join Vende's Paul Slack and Rand as they dismantle the old playbook (rank #1, drive clicks, optimize conversion rates) and reveal the new one: influence happens before the click, on platforms where your audience actually pays attention—not just on your website.

Use AI to Supercharge Pipeline: XX Practical Plays Modern B2B Teams Can Use Today

Your website visitors don't want to read anymore. They want answers—fast, specific, and conversational—just like they get from ChatGPT. And if you're still making them hunt through pages, PDFs, and product docs to find what they need, you're losing them to competitors who've figured out the easy button.

Join Vende's Paul Slack alongside John Greely (VP of Marketing, Navu) as they reveal how AI-enabling your website turns it from a static brochure into a 24/7 sales rep that actually closes deals. You'll see real conversations from real buyers. This isn't theory or future-state dreaming. It's what's working right now: how to see above the funnel before conversion, why friction-free buyer enablement matters more than ever, and the two lines of code that could transform your pipeline in under an hour. If you evaluated AI a year ago and passed, your evaluation is already outdated.

Death of the "Perfect Moment" | Winning Buyers Before the Buying Starts

There’s no “perfect moment” in B2B—only buyers moving on their own messy timelines. Your job? Be memorable before they raise their hand. Educate (don’t pitch), earn trust, use gates strategically, and treat content registrations as signals, not sales-ready leads. Then orchestrate ABM + programmatic lead gen to surround the buying group.
