What are you doing to max out the opportunities ahead of you before the general marketplace slows down over the holiday season? Don’t forget that your activities, actions, and focus areas today are what your outputs will be for the beginning of 2026.

1) 12 Proven Strategies to Master Digital Marketing for Manufacturers 💻

The manufacturing industry has entered a digital-first era. Today’s buyers aren’t just procurement teams - they include engineers, operations managers, and supply chain decision-makers who research solutions online before ever contacting a vendor.

📎 Sales Tip(s) of The Week:

Selling isn’t always about a product or service. Most times, it’s about earned trust in a relationship.

I had a coaching call yesterday with a client who scored a large prospect meeting. In that meeting, the prospect told my client that one of the drivers for his willingness to meet was not only to meet my client but also to learn about the local industry and its dynamics from him. You see, my client has been in business for 13 years, actively participates in local, regional, and national industry circles and associations, and is a trusted voice in his space.

As we discussed follow-up strategies, I mentioned that it makes sense for my client to develop an approach that focuses on continued education and industry awareness, two traits the prospect expressed a desire to gain from my client.

By simply focusing on building earned trust and a marketplace reputation based on educating and consulting prospects, you (or your business) position yourself to be a part of the most active opportunities.

And many times, new opportunities are won and lost simply on how deep that trust or credibility is that you’ve built, not necessarily on the X’s and O’s.

2) B2B Lead Gen in 2025: Why Quality Beats Quantity Every Time 🎧

For years, B2B marketers have measured success by the number of leads they captured. More leads meant more opportunities, right? Not anymore. In 2025, businesses have learned that lead quantity doesn’t equal lead quality. A database of thousands of unqualified contacts drains time, resources, and budgets without driving real revenue…Read more here. 👈🏼

📊 Weekly Financial Forecast:

If any doubts remained about whether the Federal Reserve will be lowering its key interest rate later this month, the budget loggerheads a few blocks away in the nation’s capital may have cemented the move.

Particularly if the impasse stretches out past a few days, Chair Jerome Powell and his fellow central bankers likely will err on the side of caution, which in this case would be a bias towards easing, Wall Street experts say.
