In this video, Kevin and I break down the Be Helpful phase of the 5Bs Go-To-Market framework, the second step in building a B2B demand generation engine that actually works.

We cover:

→ Why helpful content beats hype content every time and how it builds real trust with your dream customers

→ How to extract content from subject matter experts without wasting their time

→ Matching your content format to each stage of the funnel, from top to bottom
