We're back with a new episode of Digital Marketing from the Trenches - Live at the Hive and this week, we're reading Reddit Sales and Marketing Stories. For those of you not in the know, Reddit is one of the most magical places on the internet, where regular folks like you and I can ask the Reddit community anything we may have on our minds. Reddit is a gold-mine of "subreddits" or communities created around any topic imaginable. Members ask some of the best and worst questions from very active communities. In today's episode of Digital Marketing from the Trenches, we're featuring some of the best Reddit Sales and Marketing Stories from the following subreddits: /r/sales/ (354K Members)/r/advertising (190K Members)/r/LinkedInLunatics/ (665K Members)/r/B2B_sales/ (7.2K Members)/r/marketing/ (1.4M Members)/r/AskMarketing/ (66K Members) Joe and Dan delve into some of their favourite Reddit Stories, bringing things full circle and giving their opinions and experience in response to some of the best sales and marketing stories including: Worst Meeting Ever! (Sales) Thinking Through the Merch and Know-It-All CEOs and Power Dynamics. (Marketing) I'm told to do 100% ABM messaging. I'm in Sales, Not Marketing and I'm going to fail. (ABM) LinkedIn Lunatics! Answering your own comments with a comment. Winning the Lottery vs 100,000 LinkedIn Followers. His divorce was the worst job he ever had so he added it to his resume. His wife got pregnant by another man. He learned 9 things about B2B from that experience. Key Takeaways Alignment between sales and marketing is crucial, especially for Account-Based Marketing (ABM) strategies. Don't just tell salespeople to do ABM if they have no experience with it - work together to integrate their existing successful tactics. Understand the client's true needs and set expectations properly. Keep in regular contact with clients/prospects to avoid misalignment. Don't be afraid to push back respectfully on leadership decisions that don't align with data/strategy. Key Podcast Moments The agency prepared an extensive proposal for a client, only to have the client completely change direction at the last minute with no explanation. An SDR was told to do 100% ABM outreach, even though their previous high-volume outreach was successful. Examples of questionable LinkedIn posts and behaviors, like self-congratulatory comments and using personal tragedies for engagement.
