Boiling the ocean won't fill your funnel

Ever feel like marketing success is just about doing more - more channels, more activity, more noise? In this episode of CMO Therapy, Lucy is joined by the brilliant Lauren Berkemeyer, CMO at YuLife, to unpack why that "boil the ocean" approach is quietly wrecking budgets, trust and focus across marketing teams everywhere.

They get into:

Why high-volume, low-relevance outreach is actively damaging your funnel (the stats are brutal: 73% of B2B buyers avoid suppliers sending irrelevant outreach and 81% straight-up ignore generic messaging)
How to use AI for account intelligence without losing the human touch that builds real trust
Why patience, not speed, might be your most underrated sales and marketing weapon
And why so few marketers actually know their ICP and what that's costing them

As Lauren puts it: "One in four are your real trailblazers... those are who I want to find."

If you're ready to trade spray-and-pray for precision, relevance and a much healthier funnel, this one's for you.
