Hailey explains why demand gen has become the hardest role to hire for in B2B. She shares her core framework, how she maps segments against solutions, and how that turns into budget, channel bets, and pipeline tiers by vertical. Dave and Hailey also get into what it takes to go from  sales-led company to product-led growth, and what north star metric she uses instead of leads or pipeline. You’ll also hear how reading market signals keeps you from over-investing in a segment that's never going to close. Finally, the difference between a marketer and an executive, whether big companies can vibe-code their way to startup agility, and the truth about incentives.\n\nTimestamps: ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qp2EGyx49zNMpcn-IwZXI3v-kD3r0QUel9Kwnpr1jPQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMzlh/ODVjZDNmNjY4Mzli/MTFlNzMxZDI4ZmJm/Yzc1MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
