Top posts from this week

Hello Reader,

📍 From the Top

As we approach the end-of-year strategy rush, it’s clear that standing still isn’t an option—especially in B2B tech.

This week, Jeffrey Barnes spotlights Disney’s forward-thinking mindset, while John JB Russell reveals that 75% of site visitors never turn into customers.

Plus, Chris Hood shows that only a fraction of AI efforts actually improve user outcomes. For growth leaders, these numbers are a wake-up call: real results come to those who embrace transformation, rethink engagement, and put substance ahead of hype. This edition delivers just that.

💰The next Software Oasis™ B2B Executive Virtual AI Scaling Summit is coming up on December 4, 2025. Lots of exciting Founder spotlights and surprises and over $108,000 in sponsor offers.
