Aligned or Blind? Ask Your Customers with John Arnold

In the race towards modernizing go-to-market strategies, B2B firms often lose sight of what truly propels growth–the customer. If you've nodded in agreement to buyers’ behavior shifts, the tangle of tech consolidation to drive efficiency, and the explosion of new GTM motions; it’s time to pause. Amidst all this talk and transformation, our customers seem to have been forgotten.

Customer obsession is more than a mantra; it's a strategy that infuses customers into the lifeblood of leadership and operations. We’re bringing the concept of 'customer obsession' into the limelight, directly from the start reality sourced from Forrester Research.

Join us as we sit down with John Arnold, Principal Analyst at Forrester, as we strip down this buzzword to its core and construct an actionable blueprint tailored for the ever changing landscape that is B2B growth.

He is an expert in frontline marketing strategies and the co-creator of Forrester's lifecycle revenue marketing approach.
