One of the world's largest companies has made a quiet yet significant shift.

Walmart is moving its listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq.

A company with more than $800 billion in market value. Listed on the NYSE since 1970. Now choosing a new home.

Moves like this are never about optics. They are about alignment.

Walmart cited shared values with Nasdaq. A technology-forward approach. Innovation. Client focus. These are not marketing lines. They reflect how the business is evolving.

The listing change adds another layer. It positions Walmart for inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. That means greater visibility and additional passive fund flow. It also reflects how much of Walmart’s future is tied to automation and artificial intelligence.

This is the largest exchange switch by market value in history. And yet the meaning is simple.

Exchanges compete on structure, technology, and alignment.

Companies choose the platform that matches where they are going, not where they have been.

Markets shift. Strategies evolve. Companies reposition.

What stays constant is the need for clarity, discipline, and the right environment to grow.

This is another reminder that listing decisions are strategic choices.

6 things I’ll never tell a B2B founder to do on LinkedIn:

I help founders build their personal brands. But:

There are some “tactics” I’ll never recommend, no matter how much hype they get:

1. Post photos with their children

Your kids can’t give 100% consent to being online.

It’s weird.

It’s iffy.

You never know who’s looking at those photos, and LinkedIn isn’t the place.

2. Post contrarian takes just to farm engagement

Arguing for attention smells desperate.

People see right through it.

3. Use “proven” formats

If it’s “proven,” it’s probably tired.

Aim to post your original thoughts and processes. Originality gets remembered.

4. Chase every LinkedIn trend

If you’re always chasing, you’re never leading.

5. Share empty “hustle” stories

Nobody cares how early you get up.

They care about results.

6. Fake vulnerability for sympathy

Real leaders don’t perform.

They show up (wins, losses, all of it) no theatrics.

Any other things you see here that I should add to the list?

1 system to consistent inbound for complex B2B offers | 30+ founders using it | Sharing daily content advice for busy B2B leaders

If your buyer can't use, share or apply the CTA in your content in ~60 seconds, they'll ignore it. I run my CTAs through this filter:

1. Can they use it right now?

A cheat sheet, a checklist, a 2-slide summary – something they can put to work in their next meeting.

2. Can they share it easily?

If your CTA helps them look smart in front of their team, you win.

Think: a quick summary they can forward, a KPI sheet, or a list of questions for their next call.

3. Can they apply it in under a minute?

If it takes more than 60 seconds, it’s too much friction.

Your buyer just scrolls past.

It's about giving your buyer an option as frictionless as possible.

Not because their attention spans suck - but because they don't know you or trust you yet to invest any more time into what you have to offer.

Here's a list of 48 micro-CTA examples for different B2B niches:

Every post I publish here saves €19-49 for my business.

Last week, I checked how much it costs to "boost" my LinkedIn post.

Well, it's kind of a sh!tty offer, tbh.

I mean, 4,300 impressions for €49?!

That’s €0.01–€0.05 per impression.

And that’s just for people seeing it. Not clicking, not engaging, just scrolling by.

I get the same results (for free) for most of the stuff I post.

So here’s how I “save” ~€1200/month (and get way better results):

1. I post 2–5x a week on my company page and personal profile

2. Every post is built around a clear problem my B2B buyers actually care about

3. I use the Demand Packet method:

→ Real trigger
→ Tangible outcome
→ Tiny proof artifact (mini case, checklist, or 2-slide summary)

4. I add a Utility CTA – something genuinely useful, no friction, no forms

5. I repurpose each post for my videos or website.

As a solo operator, I can't afford to pay LinkedIn big bucks for them to show me.

So, irresistible content is my way to go.

If you want to see how I do it, DM me and I’ll send you my template.

How I build B2B inbound flywheels for my clients:

(that attract high-ticket 6-12 leads every month):

1. Demand Packet

Instead, package your expertise as a crisp, self-contained story:

• What real-world pain triggered the search?
• What job does your buyer actually need done?
• What measurable outcome matters?

If you've got proof, show it in 2 slides or a checklist.

You don’t need NDA-breaking data.

You need a story buyers can repeat to their boss.

Example:

“Last quarter, a mid-market ops team cut reporting time by 35% with a single Power BI layer. Here’s the 2-slide brief we gave them.”

That’s a Demand Packet.

2. Utility CTA

Don’t ask for a call.

Offer a micro-win – something useful the buyer can grab right now.

• 2-slide summary
• Risk checklist
• KPI sheet
• Project scoping questions

Zero friction.

Only real prospects bite.

You look helpful, not hungry.

3. Momentum Loop

This is where most founders fall off.

They create content, but never compound it.

How to fix it:

• Pull a Demand Packet from your weekly article
• Pair it with your Utility CTA
• Publish on LinkedIn, send in your newsletter, add to your site
• Engage replies, deliver the asset, gather feedback

Each cycle builds your “library of proof.”

Each asset makes the next easier.

And you don't have to start from scratch.

PS. Which element sounds the most difficult to you right now? Comment below and I'll suggest a fix.

One of my clients recently returned to work with us on his YT. What he said on our first call:

"You're not just creating great stuff, but you're also a great communicator"

That hit me in the feeelzzz...

Look, just like any other content agency, I'm obsessed over deliverables.

I want the work to be top-notch + delivered on time – that's table stakes.

But from Day 1 of StoryAngled, I was also obsessed with giving my clients clarity.

• Translating your expertise into plain English (not jargon soup)

• Asking sharp questions until your real differentiator shows up

• Never “ghosting” – always keeping you in the loop

• Challenging your assumptions when something won’t work

My clients are mostly tired of yet another vendor pushing PDFs over the fence.

They want a partner who listens, gets their world, and closes the loop every step of the way.

Want to see what “content + clarity” feels like?

DM me and I’ll show you how we work – no pitch, just a peek behind the scenes.

PSA: LinkedIn doesn’t need another “innovative” framework that nobody actually uses.

Recently, I noticed a weird trend among content creators.

While they're writing their posts with AI (nothing wrong with that), they let the bot slap a fancy name on a problem they barely understand (everything wrong with that).

Example:

"Data Frankenstein Effect"
"Pipeline Paradox"
"Conversion Chasm"

Sounds cool, right?

But none of these terms actually mean anything in the real world. 

They’re just empty calories for your feed.

And what happens when somebody asks:

“Hey, I’ve never heard of the Pipeline Paradox. How does it show up in your work?”

Now you’re on the spot. 

You either scramble to make something up, or you ghost the thread. 

Both make you look clueless.

Why does this keep happening?

Because AI’s great at stringing together buzzwords. 

It’s easy to let it do the heavy lifting. 

But when you publish jargon you don’t use in real life, you’re burning trust.

I talked about it more in Audrey Chia's podcast that went live this week – and offered a few solutions to this problem (I'm not just bitchin')

Building Brands That Convert | Copywriting + AI + Content Strategy | Founder of Close with Copy | Your Growth Partner 🎁

My friend Lee Densmer recently published her book about B2B Content – and I'm OBSESSED!!

Lee is one of my favorite creators out here. Her expertise shines through every post. 

And not because she's using fancy words or flexes bloated numbers. 

But because she brings simplicity and logic to the world so overcomplicated by many "experts."

If you're looking for a guide to build your B2B content program, this book is exactly what you need.

I also had the honor to provide 2 quotes for the book – one about AI + Human content systems and the other about gated content.

Got a lil' emotional seeing my name in a REAL FREAKING BOOK.

Thank you, Lee, for being so awesome!

3 micro-triggers that make B2B buyers actually reply to your content (tested on 2000+ posts this year):

1/ Use their own complaints - word for word

Don’t guess. Steal the exact line your buyers grumble about to their team.

Example: “We’re drowning in broken dashboards every Monday morning.”

Our client posted this and got 5 DMs from ops leaders - 2 booked calls.

2/ Show proof, don’t just promise

Nobody cares about “great results.” They want to see it.

Drop a real before/after screenshot or a no-BS checklist.

We posted a 2-slide “bottleneck fix” for a client - one prospect sent it straight to his COO.

3/ Tell people who should scroll away

Stop trying to please everyone. Say who your solution isn’t for.

Example: “If you don’t have reporting chaos, keep scrolling.”

Every time, the right people lean in and reply – the rest self-select out.

Want to know which trigger fits your market right now?

DM me or drop a comment, I’ll give you my honest answer.
