In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross unpacks the silent bottlenecks that are stalling high-potential B2B companies, regardless of their size or success. Drawing from years of experience working with startups to publicly traded enterprises, Ross highlights the most overlooked internal barriers to growth and, more importantly, how to eliminate them.

You’ll walk away with actionable advice and frameworks to optimize your messaging, sales cycle, onboarding flow, content strategy, and team alignment, all aimed at transforming friction into momentum.

Key Takeaways and Insights:

1. Common B2B Bottlenecks

- Misaligned Messaging

Speaking to investors instead of customers is a fatal UX misstep.
Use real customer language on homepages and in sales materials.
Focus on emotional resonance and clarity, not buzzwords.
Apply the AIDA framework: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.

- Bloated Revenue Process

Long, complicated sales cycles add friction, not value.
Reduce approvals and handoffs—especially for low-ticket SaaS products.
Make buying intuitive: include pricing, live demos, streamlined decks.

- Weak Onboarding & Lack of Quick Wins

Onboarding should feel like success, not a setup chore.
Deliver fast value: think checklists, 48-hour wins, and proactive outreach.
High delight in the first week = low churn in the future.

- Lack of Content Distribution

“It's not the content industry. It’s the content marketing industry.”
Great content often goes unseen due to weak promos.
Break down and repurpose one asset across multiple platforms.
Misalignment between sales, marketing, and success leads to a broken customer journey.
Growth should be a team sport centered around shared KPIs.
