How the MQL-Industrial Complex Accidentally Set B2B Buyers Free

In the pre-internet era, enterprise buyers were tethered to sellers. If you wanted to understand a complex business solution — what it did, how it worked, what it cost — you had to talk to sales. Sellers controlled the information. Marketing’s job was to shape brand image and pique curiosity just enough to get buyers […]

Seeing What We Expect to See

How Buyers Use the Sales Cycle to Confirm, Not Discover Sometimes the most obvious things are wrong. For example, when we look out at the world through our eyes (or listen with our ears, or use any of our other senses), it feels like we are seeing the world as it is. But neuroscience tells […]

The De-Industrialization of B2B Marketing

How Marketing Lost Its Way – and How AI Can Help Us Find It Again When human societies transitioned from foraging to farming, the results were transformative –larger, more stable populations, the rise of cities, and eventually, modern civilizations. But the shift came with costs that were more difficult to see — but chronic and […]

Fighting a War That Ended Long Ago: Hiroo Onoda & the War on the MQL-Industrial Complex

In 1974, Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda emerged from the Philippine jungle, nearly 30 years after World War II had ended. He had refused to believe the war was over, dismissing the leaflets and news broadcasts announcing Japan’s surrender as enemy propaganda. Onoda wasn’t mentally incapacitated when he emerged from the jungle. In fact, he was […]

The Elephant, the Sea Turtle, and the Misalignment at the Heart of B2B

Life History Theory 101 In nature, there are two very different reproductive strategies: evolutionary biologists refer to them fast and slow lifestyles. Fast-life animals, like rabbits, sea turtles, and insects, drop their offspring into the world en masse, investing little to nothing in nurturing them, on the gamble that enough will survive to reproduce and […]

Starbucks and the Efficiency Trap: Lessons from the Mechanization of the Brand

“I gave you everything you ever wanted, / It wasn’t what you wanted.” — Lyric from “So Cruel”, U2 Starbucks made a rational, data-backed move: Customers wanted convenience – faster service and shorter lines. So, Starbucks rolled out remote ordering. It worked. But something else happened, quietly and destructively: People stopped coming in. They stopped […]

The Freeloading Bystander Problem of B2B Attribution

Why Your ROI Metrics Might Be Lying to You In B2B marketing, we love attribution. We crave proof that what we’re doing is working — especially when we can tie programs to pipeline and revenue. But what if the attribution model we’re using is fundamentally flawed? What if the demand tactic you’re high-fiving yourself over […]

The Cargo Cults of B2B: Why We Keep Running Back What Doesn’t Work

During World War II, South Pacific islanders watched in awe as huge vessels full of foreigners appeared out of nowhere. Imagine: These strange beings arrive in a massive boat, cleared and flattened long thin strips of jungle, then waved and danced as massive, thundering birds descended from the sky, finally disgorging mountains of cargo—food, tools, […]

Proximate vs. Ultimate Causes in B2B: Why We’re Running So Hard To Stand Still

Scientists and others in the logical classes consider two kinds of causes when studying a phenomenon: Ultimate and proximate causes. Proximate causes explain the immediate, surface-level reason something happens. They tell us what immediately preceded the outcome of interest. Ultimate causes explain the deeper, systemic, or structural factors driving the outcome. They answer why the outcome happens in the first place. […]

Let’s Just Make a Decision Here: Why A High Need for Closure Isn’t Decisiveness

Last week, I discussed the difference between proximate and ultimate causes, and why we need to focus our attention on ultimate causes. One of the principle reasons we tend to focus on proximate causes at the expense of dealing with what really matters is that proximate causes come closer in time to the outcome of […]

The Anti-MQL Manifesto

The MQL-Industrial Complex has a stranglehold on modern B2B marketing and sales.
