š The 9 Golden Rules of B2B Ads
If youāre stuck writing dry, jargon-filled copy, this list is your reset button.
- Features first. Buyers compare specs, not vibes. Make sure your productās features shine.
- Show use cases, not UI. A screenshot says nothing. Real-world impact says everything.
- Leave room for curiosity. Hint, donāt tell. Draw the viewer in.
- Address the elephant. Tackle objections head-on. Friction makes a great story.
- Visualize numbers. A good chart beats a good paragraph.
- Use analogies. Make the complex simple through something familiar.
- Make it relatable. Talk to the actual pain points. Not your roadmap.
- Keep it real. Be honest about your limits. Credibility > hype.
- Write like a human. No one says āleverage solutionsā over lunch. Talk like they talk.

Salesforce x Slack
Salesforce just announced a major Slack integration that will bring CRM and collaboration under one roof.
Salesforce Channels are specialized Slack channels linked to records like accounts or opportunities.
They sync structured CRM data and unstructured chat content, giving you a complete view of customer interactions without switching platforms.
Think of Slack as the new conversational front end for Salesforce.
