April Dunford is the world's leading expert on positioning for B2B tech companies and the author of 'Obviously Awesome' as well as the newly released 'Sales Pitch.'

We focused on how competitive intel and positioning intersect in business:

- bashing "approaches," not competitors

- the importance of positioning your competitors

- when to mention competitors (and when to leave them be)

- why you shouldn't be scared of talking about competitors

- why you need to know your differentiated value

And lots more.

In this episode, I was joined by Jason Oakley and Tamara Grominsky. They're both career Product Marketers that have led a ton of great launches over the years for companies like Klue, Unbounce, and Kajabi.

We're all working together on a course for Product Marketers called Ready for Launch - The PMM's Guide to Product Launches, so I thought it'd be fun to share insider stories on important launches we each led. We also talk about some other launches from companies that caught our eye and why we liked or disliked them.

Brooklin Nash is the Co-Founder of Beam Content, a content marketing agency that helps B2B SaaS companies create expert-driven content so that they can build trust with their buyers.

Brooklin shared a great blog the other day that prompted me to reach out titled, "I gave a generative AI tool, a content farm, and a writer the same prompt. Here's what happened."

It had me wondering how a content marketing agency deals with an external threat like ChatGPT and other generative AI-based SaaS companies. We touched on that topic, as well as:

• where generative AI is helpful for content, and where it's not (yet)
• how honing in on their target audience ensures that Beam sees more qualified, non-competitive conversations with prospects
• the decision-making process that led Brooklin to build an agency vs. remaining a freelancer
• and lots more!
