Episode notes
This episode is brought to you by B2B Better. Richard cut CAC by 27% by ditching billboards and investing in owned content - podcasts, videos, and customer interviews that actually moved the needle.

If you think B2B buying is purely rational, this episode is your wake-up call. In this episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Richard Dedor, Financial Services Marketing Executive, to unpack what a decade of B2C financial services marketing can teach B2B marketers about differentiation, storytelling, and cutting through a commoditised market. Richard's core point is clear: stop overthinking your product and start understanding the emotion behind the buying decision. Every purchase - whether it's a checking account or a six-figure SaaS contract - starts with a pain point. The businesses that win are the ones that lean into that pain and make the buyer the hero. The cheeseburger analogy says it all.
