Introduction to the Book
NetLine CEO and Founder, Robert Alvin, offers his perspective in the foreword of the book:
In my twenty plus years of experience working with organizations worldwide on lead generation programs, challenging the status quo to sell change within any organization is a high hurdle. Furthermore, the mindset necessary to create ‘change driving content’ is a massive pivot away from the marketing laurels of selling values, benefits, and solutions. To challenge the status quo, you must think differently and this eBook beautifully outlines multiple perspectives to aid in redefining your approach.
This eBook will completely change the way you think about and approach demand generation. I highly recommend sharing the eBook with B2B marketers, executives, and sales teams seeking more won opportunities this year.

From the Thought Leaders
The essays are based upon conversations with nine top minds in B2B content marketing and demand generation, professionals who have written books and pursued innovative strategies of their own. Insights captured in the book:
“Uniqueness means that you’re saying something different from everyone else; uncertainty is about unconsidered needs, which are the things that will disrupt what they’re currently doing.” – Tim Riesterer, author of Conversations That Win the Complex Sale.
“Talk about what your customers are currently doing and how that behavior exposes them to cost or risk or missed opportunities in ways they haven’t fully appreciated.” – Brent Adamson, author of The Challenger Sale.
“The champion is not just someone who likes us. . . . The champion has to be the person who can actually influence the process within his or her own organization.” – Samantha Stone, author of Unleash Possible.
“Nobody has “Mobilizer” in his or her job title.” – Pam Boiros, principle of Bridge Marketing Advisors.
