On Wednesday, Ryan Gunn (my favorite HubSpot expert) & I are going live to show you exactly how to build this dashboard in HubSpot.

But also:

"Contact forms were cool... in 1995."

How come B2B is 10 years late behind B2C?

Nick says it's from how we design the buying experience.

Amazon, Uber, and all main B2Cs, let you buy in one-click.

One. Click.

Whereas in B2B, buyers have to:

- fill a 2-page contact form
- pick a slot in sales people's agenda
- sit through a "qualification call"
- endure a generic demo

...until they finally get a conversation with someone who will try to understand their situation, and help them.

That's why Nick Tomic founded Face2Face.io

I interviewed him on the last episode of my podcast TractionStories

(Link to listen it is on my profile)


Did you ever enjoy a buying process in B2B?

I turn complex tech products into clear, differentiated offerings, so your messages finally land | Product Marketing Consultant | Narrative, Positioning & Messaging

Are humans still needed in the sales process?

Nick Tomic advocates they are.

Because nobody in B2B will sign a $100k annual contract without speaking to someone who can vet it's the right move to do.

I interviewed him on how he grew Face2Face.io - getting to $100k ARR in just 15-month, fully bootstrapped.

We talked about how "book a demo" forms should be dead, how to get users the quickest time-to-value, and increase conversion rates by doing non-scalable calls.

To listen to the episode:

1) Like this post for the reach
2) Head over to my profile

Enjoy - and thank you Nick for joining!


ps: I swear it's a coincidence Nick is the third guest in a row who speaks French 😂

Podcast TractionStories with Nick Tomic, founder of Face2Face

Nick and I both help B2B teams differentiate their SaaS in competitive markets.

But Nick Tomic does it from the CX:

He removes all friction in buying+using your SaaS, by connecting your experts to buyers/users exactly when they need help.

(CX = Customer Experience)


Can you believe simply being accessible makes you standout?

When I see gated demos, hidden pricing, huge contact forms...

Somehow, I don't doubt it.
