Unreal moment for Closed Circuit Selling™ (our Revenue Alignment Architecture with Adem Manderovic ) to be featured in Haris Halkic's SalesDaily.co 
It has been put alongside 15x other frameworks like Challenger Sale, SPIN, MEDDPIC, Value Selling, BANT

But there's a difference between what we're doing, the frameworks listed alongside it

It's not a script, a sequence or a tactic 

Closed Circuit Selling™ goes beyond optimising individual performance or siloed functions 

And re architects the entire commercial system across sales, marketing and customer success to re-connect your GTM with the market, align feedback loops between departments, and build a more commercially viable engine

---

We've started to see a real shift in the understanding and need for this in the last 6 months - as organisations need to become more commercially viable

Fun fact: Last time I posted this, a sales training company threatened to sue me. Seems I was giving too much away for free.

If your plan for content in 2026 is just to “add value” adn “build awareness”,
you might be wasting your time.

Awareness on its own isn’t a strategy.

If I recognise your brand
but don’t associate you with a problem, a category,
or a buying moment,

You won't make it on my list when I'm looking to buy. 

And when the problem you solve shows up,
I won’t think of you.

That’s why most B2B content fails.

It gets seen.
It gets liked.
And then it gets forgotten.

Effective content does something different.

It builds memory structures, not noise.
It shapes how buyers see the problem
before they’re in market.

So when timing is right,
your solution feels like it's the prime candidate.

---

This doesn't mean all you should do is talk about your product. 

But instead think of it like this:

How can you frame the problems your buyers have in a way that makes your product/service the NATURAL conclusion of the conversation? 

There's been some really cool examples of this come out of The B2B Incubator 

--

We broke this down on the latest episode of The B2B Playbook,
including the framework we use to anchor every content system we build.

P.S. the 90% statistic is based on vibes - don't quote us on that one!

Most B2B marketing fails at the enterprise level for one reason.

It asks for attention before it earns trust.

Enterprise buyers aren’t short on options.
They’re short on certainty.
Every decision carries career risk, internal politics, and real operational fallout.

That’s why “launch faster”, “convert more”, and now “AI-powered everything” so often gets ignored.

Ari Yablok spent years building brands inside enterprise environments, and his framing stuck with me:

Brand isn’t decoration. It’s infrastructure.

When brand is clear, relevant, and grounded in how buyers actually make decisions:

• Risk feels lower
• Familiarity exists before the first conversation
• Marketing earns permission
• Sales doesn’t have to force momentum

Ari shared an INCREDIBLE presentation at our virtual conference Full Circle last year - and now it's available on The B2B Playbook 

Check it out and learn

• Why enterprise buyers tune out most B2B messaging
• How positioning, personality, and story actually work together
• And what small B2B teams can do without big budgets

If you’re selling into enterprise and wondering why “good marketing” still isn’t opening doors, this one’s for you.
