About this Event

B2B discovery meetings have dropped over 30% in today’s buyer-led market—yet the companies who win are the ones who adapt fastest to changing buyer expectations. If your team is struggling to create early engagement, secure conversations, or maintain momentum with prospects, this workshop will show you exactly how to reverse the decline.

Join leading B2B go-to-market strategist Michael Phelan, Principal & Founder of Go-to-Market Pros (GTMP), for a hands-on, high-impact session on transforming how marketing and sales teams earn—and keep—buyer attention.

Michael’s award-winning methodology was recently named 2024’s Most Innovative Buyer-Centric Marketing Program by Demand Gen Report. His approach blends fresh insight into modern buying behavior with proven, practical playbooks that teams can implement immediately.

This interactive workshop is ideal for B2B marketers, sales teams, revenue leaders, agency professionals, and anyone responsible for generating pipeline in a complex buying environment.


What You’ll Learn
  • Why B2B buyers are disengaging—and what’s changed in their evaluation journey
  • The shift to Buyer-Centric Value, and how it reshapes messaging, outreach, and discovery
  • How to engage buyers earlier and more effectively across mid-stage touchpoints
  • A tour of innovative + proven programs designed to ramp buyer interaction and accelerate qualification
  • A guided collaboration exercise to select and plan the best-fit programs for your company or agency
  • Open Q&A, closing remarks, and audience discussion

You’ll leave with both the strategic clarity and the tactical tools needed to create more meaningful buyer conversations—plus a clear plan to implement within your team.
