Introduction

Most B2B teams obsess over acquisition and ignore the goldmine in front of them: existing clients. The easiest growth is the one you’ve already earned.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to keep clients longer and make them worth more over time. You’ll learn how to design retention loops, create natural upsell moments, and track client health before it’s too late.

When you build customer value into your growth model, every client becomes an asset that compounds.

Why most B2B marketers don't get the results they want

Most B2B marketers are either Random Ricks (trying everything) or Specialist Steves (obsessed with one channel). Generalists run tactics without strategy. Specialists hit channel ceilings. But there's a better way.

See entire course
Random Rick
Always-busy marketer

Tries everything at once. Posts on LinkedIn, runs ads, tweaks the website, chases referrals. Nothing compounds because nothing's consistent. Growth feels chaotic.

Specialist Steve
Single channel specialist

Obsessed with one tactic. 'We just need better ads' or 'SEO will fix everything.' Ignores the rest of the system. One strong engine can't carry a broken machine.

Solid Sarah
Full-funnel marketer

Finds the bottleneck. Fixes that first. Then moves to the next weakest link. Builds a system that's predictable, measurable and doesn't need 80-hour weeks.
