Client Feedback

“I recently had a strategy session with Jeremiah, and it was exactly what I needed. What impressed me most was his subject matter expertise and ability to quickly understand my business challenges and ask the right questions that helped me see things differently. He didn’t overwhelm me with theory. Instead, he delivered a clear, actionable market strategy I could start executing immediately. The biggest value was how he helped me reframe my entire positioning and messaging in a way that actually resonates with my target audience. If you’re a founder looking for someone who combines deep expertise with practical, thoughtful guidance, I highly recommend working with Jeremiah.”

— Sraddhan Shah, Founder, UptimeOS

Working with Jeremiah on thought leadership and LinkedIn was a game changer. He helped me build more credibility, grow my audience, and show up with ideas that felt sharp, credible, and commercially useful... What stood out most was how well Jeremiah captured my voice. The posts sounded genuinely like me, just clearer and stronger. He saved me a huge amount of time across the strategy, positioning, ideas, and writing. I’d recommend Jeremiah to anyone who wants thought leadership that actually sounds human and helps move the business forward!”

— Ahmed Aly, Founder, Dispatchino

“As a founder, finding someone who actually takes the time to understand your brand before putting words to it is rare. He [Jeremiah] was exactly that. Professional, punctual, and genuinely thoughtful in his approach. He set up structured meetings, asked the right questions, and more importantly, listened. He was flexible and focused on getting the message right, not just getting it done. The insights he brought to my LinkedIn content were sharp and on point. I only had the chance to work with him short term, but I would not hesitate to bring him on long term. Highly recommend.

— Knut L.S., Founder & CEO, Verrlo

Choking Your B2B Pipeline?

A lot of B2B companies exhibit the following “symptoms”:

  • Their product page sounds competent, but does not reduce confusion in buyers.

  • Their proof exists, but does not travel well into live sales conversations.

  • Their team keeps producing educational assets, but buyers still need too much translation.

The result?

Buyers understand the offer too late, sales carries more educational burden than it should, and pipeline moves more slowly than it needs to.

Not cool, right?

PICTURE THIS—A fictional Vermont company called Graviti Field Systems sells a power systems monitoring platform called FieldSee Ops to utilities. It’s a credible system, but the company website is loaded with confusing content.

And then…

Sales reps spend the first 20 minutes of calls clarifying what FieldSee Ops actually does.

Graviti Field Systems’s pipeline chokes.

Revenue tumbles down a cliff.

Executives panic.

Anarchy!

That, right there, is a buyer-clarity problem. And the executives of Graviti Field Systems ought to attend this seminar to figure out the fix.

(This seminar is built to address that kind of commercial friction that chokes B2B pipelines.)


“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”

— Steve Jobs, BusinessWeek interview (1998)

What You Will Leave With

If you attend this seminar, you’ll leave with:

  • A clearer view of where your messaging is losing buyers

  • A practical lens for spotting the bottlenecks that make a product harder to buy

  • A stronger standard for what proof should do in real buyer conversations

  • A better understanding of the technical positioning you should adopt

  • A clearer sense of which sales-usable asset is most likely to create the fastest commercial impact


Speaking of sales-usable assets, let’s picture a fictional Burlington-area cybersecurity firm, PackittStrike. Pipeline is allegedly stalling at PackittStrike, and the marketing team is considering commissioning a new case study program.

But PackittStrike may not necessarily need a new case study program to create more pipeline.

They may need something narrower and more immediately useful instead: a technical explainer that helps buyers and internal champions understand exactly where the product fits, what risk it reduces, and what proof supports the claims.

Oh, and the marketing leads of PackittStrike ought to attend this seminar to figure out how to approach such a technical explainer—without “wildly throwing darts in the dark.”

Who This Is For

This seminar is for you if you are:

  • VP Marketing, Head of Marketing, or Marketing Director at a B2B company selling a complex product

  • Product Marketing Manager or Senior PMM working on a technical, high-trust, or education-heavy offer

  • Founder or CEO of a technical B2B company with 10-150 employees

  • VP Sales who needs cleaner buyer-facing support

  • Content Marketing Lead or Demand Gen Manager responsible for assets that need to do more than generate clicks

  • COO, Innovation Lead, or Funding Lead inside a grant-active company that needs stronger commercial messaging

Speaking & Facilitation Feedback

Jeremiah presented on cryptography at our math summer camp. It’s hard to win over a room full of high schoolers inside on a sunny day, but Jeremiah grabbed their attention immediately! Students highlighted his engaging and exciting nature, his kindness, and his ability to make complex ideas approachable, but also leave open questions for later exploration. He was also the keynote speaker at our one day event giving a deeper dive into cryptography and cybersecurity. Safe to say he was a hit again! His sessions are structured and easy to follow for students. On the organizer end, I really appreciate his flexibility and ability to work with us in coming up with the best format and theme for each audience. Overall, his ability to simplify complex ideas for high schoolers but respect their desire to dive deeper and learn more makes Jeremiah the perfect keynote speaker and presenter!

Seminar Agenda

Agenda:

  • Arrival and networking

Questions You’re Probably Asking

  1. “Will this be useful if our product is highly technical?”
    Yes. That is where this seminar is most relevant. The harder a product is to explain and trust, the more important buyer clarity, proof, and technical positioning become.

  2. “Will I leave with something practical?”
    Yes. The goal is that you leave with a clearer view of where buyer understanding is breaking down, which bottleneck matters most, and what asset is most likely to improve commercial traction.

  3. “Is this for companies with long sales cycles?”
    Yes, especially if your company sells a technical or hard-to-explain offer.

  4. “Will refreshments be served?”
    Yes. Light refreshments will be served.

  5. “How many seats are available?”
    20 seats only. Sign up before they’re gone.
