50 Post Blog Series on Startup Marketing

In January 2015, I published Startups <3 Customers, a guide to sales and marketing for technical startup people. The goal was to give beginners a ridiculously easy way to understand the fundamentals of building a sales and marketing organization in a B2B startup.

If you’ve read that guide and kicked off sales and marketing at your startup, awesome! You’ve probably noticed that there are a lot more details to be covered, especially when it comes to the nitty gritty of actually executing successful sales and marketing.

To help break it down, I’m excited to kickoff a series of 50 blog posts that cover those nitty gritty details for marketing. Similar to Startups <3 Customers, these posts are designed for folks new to inbound marketing. They’ll help you understand more detail of the many facets of building a world class marketing organization.

New Ebook: Startups <3 Customers

When I first got into startups, one of my core responsibilities was to acquire new customers.

The problem was, back then, I had no idea how to acquire new customers.

As I explored, I learned about sales and marketing, and began to understanding how they are used to acquire customers. It turns out, sales and marketing can be really fun, and really powerful.

I remember searching the internet for a how-to guide to get me started. There are plenty of blog posts out there, but they all seemed to go into too much depth, or skip the beginner stuff. I wanted something that started with the basic fundamentals so I could work my way up. Essentially, a for-dummy’s guide to sales and marketing for a B2B startup.

Fast forward a few years to now, and I decided to write that guide: Startups <3 Customers. It’s a guide to the basics of sales and marketing, particularly helpful for technical founders and employees at B2B startups.
