About this listen

Sell your tech (without getting technical).

B2B tech marketing is confusing buyers with technical jargon and drowning them in meaningless buzzwords that leave them overwhelmed (and not all that interested in buying). When everyone’s using the same tired lingo, how do you cut through the noise and show buyers your value? You get punchy. In Make It Punchy, tech messaging expert Emma Stratton explains how and why you need to leave all the jargon behind. How to get real with buyers about why your technology matters to them. How to use language that resonates on a human level. And how to move away from how the tech works and shift buyers’ minds to how it can solve their problems.

This practical guide is full of helpful frameworks and real-world examples that break down the process of B2B messaging step by step—from the first strategy session to writing to implementation. Emma leads you through exercises that help you understand your customers, engage your creativity, and get your team involved. She'll explain how to break down your messaging into a clear, concise format that works for everything from a single product launch to a large-scale initiative.

With Make It Punchy, you’ll get proven techniques to share a simple, concise story about your tech solution with buyers—and finally stand out from the competition.

I've read lots of books on strategy and positioning, but this book takes it to the next level. I liked that the book went beyond theory and gave very actionable advice.

A practical guide to messaging.

Despite her poor copy writing, there were some good take aways in terms of how to structure a landing page.

Honestly. Her copy examples were bad.
