This week, with Jeff back on holiday and emboldened by some good feedback from his last solo outing, our host Ian Truscott goes it alone and peers into the so-called dark funnel where 95% of potential buyers are hanging out with a few ideas we need to implement as B2B marketers to reach them.

Ian covers:


The dark funnel and changing buyer behavior


The decline of traditional influencers


The power of useful data and research


Content that builds trust


The role of real people and internal thought leaders

Enjoy!
