Posted in B2B Marketing, Blogging, Marketing by Chris | 4 Comments
Maybe you’re asking yourself, “Self, who should I follow on Twitter?” Maybe you’ve asked yourself that and have made your way here, to The CRAP Report. If so, you can check out two posts below to see who I suggested you follow two months ago. Maybe you’ve followed all of those folks and are looking for more.
I still think the Follow Friday blog post is a good idea.
Here’s my list of B2B all-stars that I think you’ll find yourself glad to follow:
- @mvolpe – Mike Volpe, HubSpot’s VP of Inbound Marketing. Mike’s also the co-host of HubSpot TV, and the majority of Mike’s tweets are about, what else? Inbound marketing. You’ll also get some good SEO knowledge, great blogging tips, marketing data, and some lead gen stuff, too. Check out Mike’s blog Marketing with Mike for blog articles.
- @keenan – Jim Keenan, VP of Sales Strategy at 2Wire. Jim always offers great sales advice, and does so with a personal touch through his blog, A Sales Guy. Jim tweets about sales issues, sales management issues, and sales processes.
- @paulcastain – Paul Castain is the VP of Sales Development for Consolidated Graphics. Paul’s whole M.O. is to make people better, whether it’s a better sales rock star or a better sales Jedi. Regardless of what you want to become, Paul wants to help, and one way he does so is through his blog Paul Castain’s Sales Playbook.
- @MackCollier – Mack Collier is a social media consultant, trainer, and speaker. His tweets are going to be full of these, except on Sunday nights, when he runs a blog chat through Twitter. Mack knows about building a community and it’s evident if you read through a blog chat transcript. Mack’s blog, The Viral Garden, is one to read for thoughts on any of the topics above.
- @HolgerSchulze – Holger Schulze is a technology marketing guy from Washington, D.C. Holger tweets really relevant articles regarding B2B Sales and Marketing, and you should read his blog, Everything Technology Marketing. Holger’s articles are typically about trends and issues surrounding, yup – you guessed it, technology marketing.
- @justinlevy – Justin Levy is the Director of Business Development, Corporate Strategy, and Client Services at New Marketing Labs. Justin is a prolific tweeter and his tweets are often a mix between the personal and business, but they’re always good. Justin has a blog, Justin Levy, which explores social media and its impact in the business world. Justin is also a partner at Caminito Argentinean Steakhouse.
- @iannarino – S. Anthony Iannarino is a B2B Sales coach, and his tweets reflect that. The majority of his tweets are ways to improve B2B sales reps/teams. His blog, The Sales Blog, is chock full of articles on becoming a better sales person. Check it out.
Hopefully I’ve been able to share someone new with you. If you want, feel free to leave some more recommendations in the comments below!

So, I received a call the other day from someone who I really respect. In fact, her call caught me out of the blue. She is someone in our industry who I really look up to and I value her opinion. Imagine my chagrin when she told me why she was calling: “I can’t read your stuff anymore. It’s too long!” I’d heard that before from folks, but my wife and Mom don’t really count, do they? I mean, they do count, but I don’t write for them.
I love that skit from Jimmy Fallon on SNL with all the lame “


Lead-gen and pop-culture aficionado all rolled into one. Now with 13% more funny!
