ThinkHuman: Emotional Intelligence

Posted on January 28, 2021January 4, 2023 by Riaz Kanani

The phrase Emotional Intelligence (EQ) first appeared back in 1964. But it was Daniel Goleman who made the phrase famous when he released his book Emotional Intelligence in 1995.

Goleman says that emotional intelligence was as important as IQ for success. This included the academic, professional, social, and interpersonal parts of life.

At work today, it is especially important. At Radiate B2B, we regularly discuss alignment between sales and marketing. It is one of the key foundations of a successful account based marketing programme. I would argue that sales and marketing leadership today need to have a high EQ to succeed.

As the last few weeks have unfolded, marketers have had to react rapidly to a changing environment. Both channel and messaging has had to be changed in a short time.

I was speaking with a former managing consultant last night. She pointed out that two things often happen in times of crisis. First, a greater emphasis is placed on tactics and second, there is an openness to change and doing things differently.

Posted on February 7, 2020January 4, 2023 by Riaz Kanani

People often tell me that they’re finding it trickier than ever to reach their preferred companies. Thanks to online content overload, it’s so easy to get lost in the noise these days. It can be disheartening to see campaigns you’ve spent lots of time and energy on underperform — especially when the same methods worked well in the past. But luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way.

I presented on getting started with abm technology platforms. There is always plenty of healthy debate on the topic not least because of how broad account based marketing is.

Selective hearing: why account based marketing can cut through the noise

Posted on October 8, 2019January 4, 2023 by Riaz Kanani

It’s not an easy time to be a b2b marketer. The sector is grappling with several challenges right now. Acquisition costs are rising across the industry. And everybody is trying the same tactics, which is ironic if you’re trying to stand out from the crowd.

The way most marketers are attempting to garner leads today is through content. But now the web is saturated with low quality writing on your specialist subject, which makes the buying process harder than ever for your potential clients to navigate. You want that customer experience to be as good as you can get it. And that’s where account based marketing (or ABM) comes in.
