Reinventing B2B

Search Changed. Behavior Changed. Now What?

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

This episode follows a clear arc that starts with the perspectives and experiences of our team, then dives into how the shifts of 2025—particularly around AI, search behavior, and signal integrity—are actively reshaping B2B marketing today. From there, the conversation turns forward, focusing on the strategic recalibrations marketers need to make and what we believe will define success in 2026.

The story arc is:

The Shift – Search behavior changed. Landing pages aren’t the data engine they used to be. Touchpoints are compressing and AI is mediating discovery.
The Signal Crisis – In this new AI-driven landscape, what is a signal anymore? Is intent dead?
Stop Over-Engineering – Yesterday, the challenge was making true meaning out of signal overload. We over-rotated on data and segmentation. Today, brand and quality experiences matters more than ever.
What Should Marketers Be Doing Differently – How omnichannel strategy, targeting, measurement, and content activation evolve.
What’s Coming Next? Team predictions for 2026

Where Marketing Ends and Sales Begins

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:00:00 GMT

What’s the real reason so many B2B sales teams miss their revenue targets? In this episode, we go beyond the usual talking points and dive headfirst into the psychology, data, and leadership gaps holding go-to-market (GTM) teams back.

Just Global’s Bobby Hare sits down with Seth Marrs, Chief Strategy Officer at Sandler and a former Forrester analyst, to explore the biggest blind spots in B2B sales today. From the cultural impact of ‘demo addiction’ to the misalignment between sales and marketing metrics, Seth and Bobby break down the systemic blockers keeping revenue teams stuck in the past, and offer a compelling vision for what’s next.

It’s not about more tech. It’s not about more leads. It’s about changing the way we deliver growth.
