B2B Workshop & Networking: ⁠Business Growth in the AI Search Era

B2B Workshop & Networking: ⁠Business Growth in the AI Search Era

Mon, Sep 28, 4:30 PM
From Growth Box

Your marketing can be busy without being joined up. Campaigns are running, content is being published and sales is doing outreach. But when positioning, content, data and sales do not connect, teams waste time, buyers receive mixed messages, and AI systems struggle to understand what the business does and when to recommend it. The buying journey has changed too. Prospects now move between Google, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, review sites, peer recommendations and private conversations. By the time they get in touch, much of their shortlist has already been shaped. **Your Marketing Is Disconnected, and ChatGPT Knows It** is a **practical Growth Box workshop for B2B leaders** who want to understand what this means for their business. We will explore: •⁠ ⁠What makes a company easier to find, understand and recommend •⁠ ⁠Why rankings, clicks and gated content are no longer enough •⁠ ⁠How Give! Don’t Ask replaces premature forms with useful, open experiences •⁠ ⁠How Non-Gated Demand Orchestration connects marketing, sales and buyer signals •⁠ ⁠How precision-led marketing helps teams focus on the right accounts and opportunities The aim is not to create more content or collect more names. It is to give buyers something useful, recognise meaningful signals and bring marketing and sales together around the same journey. You will leave with a practical way to assess your current visibility, rethink one campaign and choose what your team should change over the next 90 days. Pizza and soft drinks will be provided during the session to keep the energy flowing. No technical background is needed, and there will be no sales pitch. Attendance will be reconfirmed before the event. **A Growth Box workshop delivered by WitFlow.**

Our diverse crowd includes everyone from aspiring product managers to CPOs, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts. Come along to get advice on a tricky problem, discover what other PMs are up to, or simply share a beer with your product peers.
