Pro tip: Strategic #CRO answers business questions. Tactical CRO does not address business questions (e.g. CTA color). Doesn't mean tactical CRO doesn't have a place. And in fact, if you're just getting started, most CRO programs end up being tactical FIRST while the flywheel starts spinning. BUT, strategic #CRO drives impact. It helps get buy in for MORE testing. It answers critical business questions. And most importantly - it DOES take some freaking time to analyze and spin up!!! Want to learn more?

🤯 81% of B2B buyers already have a preferred vendor in mind before making first contact. If that stat doesn’t punch you in the gut, here’s why it should: You’re losing deals before they even know your name. In the latest episode of Growth Team Radio, Matt Cunard cuts through the noise to explain why most lead gen strategies are failing: 💻Your digital presence is your first (and maybe only) salesperson. 🤓Buyers are researching you (and your competitors) before you know they exist. 😭"Outreach" is too late—you're playing catch-up in a game that's already decided. The solution? Show up where buyers start their journey, not where they end it. Matt shares how to pivot your strategy and finally win over prospects before they tune you out. 🎧 Listen now to learn how smart teams are adapting to the new B2B buyer journey.
