Our guest on this episode of The Changemakers is Chris Silvestri, also known as The Conversion Alchemist.

With a background as a software engineer in industrial automation, Chris made a sharp turn into digital marketing, bringing a unique perspective to his work as a SaaS message-market fit specialist and conversion copywriter for B2B SaaS brands like Moz since 2016.

Chris explains to Dave why Series A to C companies often struggle to differentiate their messaging and get lost in the crowd, detailing how his work helps them stand out by making their value impossible to ignore. He clarifies the crucial distinctions between positioning, messaging, and copy, highlighting the common pitfalls of skipping vital research and strategy steps.

Dave and Chris discuss the typical mistakes B2B tech companies make in their messaging, such as lacking a unique point of view, failing to address different personas within the decision-making unit, and leading with "what you are" instead of "what people need,".

Finally, Chris discusses the transformative impact of AI tools on his approach, from research to copy generation and even synthetic user testing.
