Listen "The Rockstar CMO Studio: 5 SNAFUs on the Muse"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Jeff Clark and Ian Truscott dig into the Muse stage of the Rockstar CMO buyer's journey, called AMPED (Awareness, Muse, Purchase, Engage and Develop), and leverage Jeff’s expertise in advising B2B buyers to explore five challenges they face at this early inspiration stage of the buyer’s journey and how vendor marketers can help.
They list five potential SNAFUs:
#1 – Unable to collaborate with key internal decision-makers
#2 - Overcoming FOFU (Fear of F’in’ Up)
#3 – Not knowing the full requirements of a solution
#4 - Overbuying - managing shiny object syndrome
#5 – Executive Decision Makers Are Not Onboard
