5 min read

We are thrilled to announce that our newest book, ‘Imposters on the Zoom!,’ which I co-authored with Journey’s President & CEO John Buie, has been featured in BookAuthority’s list of the "20 Best New Sales Lead Generation Books To Read In 2024". This recognition is a testament to our dedication to helping B2B marketers and business leaders overcome their most pressing challenges.

Why This Recognition Matters

BookAuthority is a leading platform that helps people discover the best nonfiction books in various categories. Their lists are highly respected and widely followed by professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills.

Being included in their list of the best new sales lead generation books not only validates the quality and relevance of our content but also amplifies our mission to assist B2B businesses in achieving sustainable growth.


Addressing B2B Challenges Through ‘Imposters on the Zoom!’

The journey of B2B manufacturing and distribution businesses is fraught with unique challenges. Over-reliance on legacy customers, high employee turnover, and the ever-looming threat of imposter syndrome are just a few hurdles that can hinder growth. Our book addresses these issues head-on by providing actionable strategies and practical solutions.

​1. Over-Reliance on Legacy Customers

​One of the key themes in ‘Imposters on the Zoom!’ is the danger of relying too heavily on ​a few legacy customers. When these relationships falter, businesses can find themselves ​scrambling to fill the gap. We emphasize the importance of a diversified customer base ​and consistent lead generation. As John points out, “You don’t know until that one big purchase doesn’t show up in the second quarter. Then suddenly you’re down.” By ​implementing our blueprint, businesses can ensure a steady stream of new leads, reducing ​the risk associated with dependency on a few major clients​​.

2.  Employee Turnover and Imposter Syndrome

High turnover rates in marketing and sales roles are costly and disruptive. The process of hiring, training, and retaining new staff is resource-intensive and often leads to productivity losses. Moreover, imposter syndrome – the pervasive feeling of inadequacy despite evident success – can cripple employee morale and performance. According to recent studies, up to 78% of professionals experience imposter syndrome at some point in their careers​​.

Our book provides a comprehensive approach to tackle these issues. By offering clear, step-by-step processes and practical examples, we help businesses create a supportive environment where employees can thrive. This not only aids in retention but also boosts overall productivity and job satisfaction. As Jason explains, “The best way to beat imposter syndrome is to create facts that counteract the feelings. For B2B marketing and sales professionals, that means generating a steady and increasing volume of leads and sales for the business”​​.

3.   Creating a Resilient Business Model

At Journey, we believe in building businesses that are resilient and adaptable. The systems we outline in ‘Imposters on the Zoom!’ are designed to be evergreen, meaning they remain effective regardless of changes in personnel or market conditions. This ensures that businesses can maintain a predictable volume of sales leads and continue to grow year after year.

The benefits of such a system are manifold. It protects against the loss of key customers, mitigates the impact of staff turnover, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. Our clients have used these strategies to achieve manageable year-over-year growth, reducing their internal staffing workload while increasing customer lifetime value​​.
