Process vs. Product: Six New-Media Principles, No. 6

B2B Memes

B2B Memes

The goal, rather, should be to share a personal passion that genuinely informs your understanding of B2B. There’s a risk, of course, in drawing comparisons between your personal passions and B2B issues. The key is not to make a comparison just because it’s weird or surprising. Probably not.
