The Lead Didn't Die in Marketing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dave sits down with Wes Temple, Director of Growth at Gorilla 76, a B2B agency that works exclusively with manufacturers and industrial technology companies. Wes owns the marketing strategy for every client they sign, which means he has traced a lot of lead flow end to end and found out exactly where it stops. In one case, the leads were arriving, they were logged, they had real six figure values attached to them, and nobody was touching them. This conversation goes at the part of the funnel mos
Do We Really Need a Work Instruction for Every Little Thing? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dave Crysler answers the question a client asked him in the middle of a gap review, the one everybody in the room was already thinking. There is no clean line between tribal knowledge and a work instruction, so most teams stall at the question and write nothing.

Read excerpt
Dave Crysler sits down with Glen Antwiler, founder and CEO of Right Fit PEO, who built, ran, and sold his own PEO before moving to the buy side of the market.

The conversation gets into admin fee spreads, the widely repeated myth that PE

Dave Crysler breaks down Overall Equipment Effectiveness, the traditional manufacturing KPI that gets sold as a solution far more often than it gets used as a diagnostic. After a call with a machine monitoring vendor, Dave lays out what OEE actually measures, why two plants with identical scores can have nothing in common, and why a high number can sit right next to a growing backlog and shrinking profitability. This is the episode for the operator who has never tracked OEE and is being told the
The Badge of Honor That's Costing You Customers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most manufacturers did not decide to be invisible. They grew on referrals, landed a handful of customers who covered the bills, and never had to explain themselves to a stranger. Dave Crysler sits down with Curt Anderson, founder of B2Btail and author of Stop Being the Best Kept Secret, to talk about how that quiet approach stopped working and what to do about it. Along the way they get into the part most marketing conversations skip: what happens when the phone finally rings and the shop cannot
