Episode notes
Design Content To Be Understood On Platform
- 'Understood' means the audience consumed the idea on-platform and didn't scroll past.
- Test by removing links: if the idea still stands alone (e.g., a LinkedIn post or slide), it achieves comprehension.
Memory Matters In B2B Decisions
- B2B buyers do most decision-making without vendor contact, so remembering your brand matters more than immediate outreach.
- Gartner data: buyers spend only 17% of their purchase journey talking to sales reps.
Preference Comes From Consistent Help
- 'Preferred' means your audience includes you among solutions because you've consistently helped them decide.
- Preference comes from clarity, usefulness, and repeated rightness, not from volume of content.
