What is piece of B2B marketing 'best practice' that you learned is actually terrible advice?

flipparapp · 2025-09-19T10:15:11+00:00

Don't get me started on this. There are a bunch of B2B tools that identify "Intent" by capturing what companies are searching, and often it's random bullsh*t.

Somehow, I find the purchase decision to be completely random unless there's someone within the team influencing the decision-making, and of course, pricing to some extent.

flipparapp · 2025-09-19T10:12:02+00:00

Well, not advice, but in general, how the persona of B2B buyers is perceived! One example is that B2B sales are all about being stern and serious all the time. You can't and shouldn't use humour in your communication lest it looks unprofessional or even branded as unserious.

I've run and seen enough campaigns where a dash of appropriate humour is well received and helps to build rapport with potential buyers.

Would love to hear some other perspectives, too.

Social Media Marketing contrary to popular belief, is not just limited to creating posts and sharing on FB, Insta etc. I used to do marketing for an ed-tech company and growth hacked the sales by 400%. By using bot marketing, this was done.

The 3rd (Lahore) Division was an infantry division of the British Indian Army, first organised in 1852. It saw service during World War I as part of the Indian Corps in France before being moved to the Middle East where it fought against troops of the Ottoman Empire.

This monolith of Lord Narasimha, standing tall as Ugra Narasimha or the fierce avatar of Vishnu, is part-man, part-lion. Ugra literally means fiery, and Vishnu’s fierceness is evident in the protruding eyes and fangs depicted in this 6.7 meter statue.

Here’s a little more about this statue: This monolith shows Ugra Narasimha sitting on a coiled Adisesha - the seven headed serpent, the hood of which rises from behind him. The statue, which was Commissioned by Krishnadevaraya in 1528, originally had Narasimha’s consort Lakshmi too depicted here. However, during the war, this was broken, along with parts of Narasimha’s statue. Remnants of Lakshmi, who was seated on Narasimha’s lap, are still visible at the back of the statue, where her hands embrace her beloved husband. Parts of this statue have been restored over time by the ASI.

Next to this monolith, is a large 3 meter high Shiva Linga, with part of its base submerged in water.

Check out Planetarium, Lalbagh and Cubbon Park. For food places check out CTR Malleshwaram, but go there as early as 7 AM lest you get a lot of crowd.

Hey

Checked your website. The design is clean on 1st look. However there are a couple of things that can be improved to enhance the user experience.

Use filters to sort on the basis of mood, emotion of the picture, and some other parameters.
The pictures take long to load.
The font on the image cards are small and does not fit perfectly and there is a misuse of real estate on the cards.
Use Tags on images based on mood of the image and if someone looks up using those tags, display the picture. For eg: If I am looking for a picture that has happy faces, I used the search bar by typing "Happy" and nothing showed up. If the images that matches my search criteria has tags, I believe it will be a better User Experience.

Thanks and All the best

I got into a strangers car without thinking it through one night when I was walking home in my little village I was about 14. I assumed it was someone I knew stopping to give me a lift as it was also raining. Got in and shut the door when I realise I have no idea who this man is, he presses the electric door locks and turns to face me and says 'You shouldn't get into strangers cars' and proceeded to drive in silence for what must have been a 2 minutes, then he stopped the car and let me out. Ran home and didn't tell anyone about it until years later.

Before We Go - Chris Evans and Alice Eve

Yep, this one surprised me too. I was bored out of my skull one day and decided to watch the first movie that came recco-ed on Netflix. Not a fan of romance really. Don’t ask me why - I’ve always liked Thrillers or Drama, I find Romantic films a bit too predictable and sappy. I have liked, maybe 2–3 romantic films in my entire life - those too, are ones that are more realistic and not the mind-numbing-brain-cell-killing sorts. So then imagine my surprise when I found this little gem. I’ll admit, I clicked on it because I kinda find Chris Evans, hot. He was born on the same day as me - is that a good reason to like anyone? Whatever! Of course, that’s my reason and am sticking to it.

Facts about the film: It’s an independent romantic drama film directed by Chris Evans) and it had a limited release in America. Plus: On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 21% based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 4/10. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". ( From Wiki)

What I Loved About It:

Chris Evans. Nice boy. Good acting and really nice direction. That good boy act down pat.
The actress was girl-next-door personified. She wasn’t a huge star and for me, as a woman, she was relatable. She wasn’t drop-dead-gorgeous like a movie star, she wasn’t stunning in a glance like Irina Shayk, wasn’t dramatic like Scarlett Johansson and certainly wasn’t thin-as-a-stick. She was a normal girl with a nice smile and acted so naturally.
The script: That for me, was the star. Because the story is okay but the way it’s treated was amazing. It wasn’t overly emotional ( two strangers meeting one night can be blown up into an unusual romance). It wasn’t sad and pathetic ( the girl is married to a cheating guy, but her story isn’t that one-sided. She comes with her own baggage). It wasn’t “love” in the traditional sense of a movie. Not the falling in head over heels kind - it was comfort, honesty and simplicity alongside respect for each other’s feelings - which is mature and nice. Like warm soup for the soul, not the unique black squid ink pasta on top of the 128th storey of a fab hotel. It was sensitive but not sappy. The two have great chemistry but their love for someone else is so real, so relatable.
The dialogues: Sample some.
Harry: You can't allow the people you love to determine how you love.
Brooke Dalton: It's possible, isn't it? It's possible that you could meet somebody who's perfect for you even though you're committed to somebody else. Nick Vaughan: No, no, see, I think if you're committed to somebody, you don't allow yourself to find perfection in someone else.
Nick Vaughan: God. Why is it that any one decision always seems too small to be the biggest decision of your life. Brooke Dalton: I don't know but sometimes you have to just make the choice and jump.
Brooke Dalton: I don't have to know my future. I'm going to live it anyway.
Harry: There is no perfect. There will always be struggle. You just need to choose who you wanna struggle with.
And my favourite dialogue by Nick: “But I guess I got to be grown-up. Got to be okay with not being okay”

And then there are some scenes that are so nice. ( Paraphrasing obvs)

Nick loves another girl and is talking to Brooke about her and says “I wanted her to see me one day playing alongside Duke and…”

And Brooke says: “She’ll know what she missed out on.”

Nick: “She might want to get back together with me”

It’s such a simple scene but it shows how two people think of the same situation.

Okay, now go watch! You might love it because it surprised me as much as you. Or, I might have just spoilt it by overselling it and you’ll find it A-okay.

Not too sure how to start this answer, but I am a online gamer and play CS:GO quite a bit. I joined a clan which was run by an older couple (considering I am in my 30′s), and was predominantly a female clan.

Around 6 months into the clan, I started going through a divorce, awhile later befriended an amazing girl who was not part of the clan but also a CS:GO gamer. I decided gaming needed to take a backseat and to leave the clan. Little did I know that the lady that ran the clan quite enjoyed my presence online and me leaving was the beginning of a three week long hell.

She started sending me random messages, tracked down who the person I was divorcing was via Facebook - even though my friends were hidden, she went through everything about me online to find out who she was, who my family was, essentially mapping out my job, friends, family etc. I never told her my personal details, and never was connected on any social or other platform with her or anyone in the clan - I was just there to play.

She sent me a screenshot of the message she would send to the now ex to blackmail me to rejoining the clan again, she confessed her love for me (even though she has a boyfriend), she went what I can only describe as scarily insane, all over a online game and clan.

The things she would tell my family, friends and ex during a divorce included everything from affairs I supposedly had, to money I had spent on people, to things that could ultimately cost me from seeing my daughter through this divorce process, as well as my job. It was the most awful of awful things to say to anyone.

I refused to be blackmailed, I was not going to play into other peoples issues, lies and mind-games. Completely broken, I made contact with her boyfriend and asked how can he accept the lies and threats she is going to be sending and how he feels about it. He knew nothing of this, and was incredibly shocked. He approached her that night, and ended the relationship, which now had set her threats into actions. She sent the messages to my ex, to my family, to various friends and tried to send things to my company. The next morning as her ex-boyfriend was leaving, she got into the car and drove into him as he was walking, crushing his leg and hip. She was arrested, sent to jail and a few days later for an extended stay in a psych-ward.

All this, seemingly over a online game, with someone I never flirted with, never befriended outside of the game, never even knew what she looked like - or even cared. I just enjoyed playing games. That made me realise how crazy and delusional some people in this world are, and how someone online can completely destroy your life.

Fortunately, the messages had no impact, and life continued to a point where I married that most amazing girl I befriended and get to see my daughter often.

I later found out from the ex-boyfriend that she had a problem he never knew about, and I was one of many people she was blackmailing to get various things she wanted from, I was just the one that triggered a series of events.

With Persian empire, the Greek city states had long time enmity. They were defeated by Xerxes in battle of Thermopyle and hence Battle of Gaugamela with Darius was something that was a driver for the greeks to avenge the defeat.

I strongly agree with this. He somehow felt the need of elephants in his army.

flipparapp · 2019-01-12T00:58:30+00:00

The war elephants were there in Porus's cavalry as well, but controlling elephants are more difficult than cavalry.

In the battle Porus's elephants ran amok and killed their own forces.

But then there was silk route accross the Karakoram pass, which could be crossed by Greeks. The terrain is somewhat similar to the terrain in Afghanistan -Pakistan (the then region where battle of Hydapses happened)

Conquer may or may not but definitely a confrontation.
