Many B2B companies think they are doing SEO well by having their basic website SEO down like page titles, meta descriptions, image alt tags, links, etc. But it’s way more than that.

Many marketing agencies talk about what you are not doing and what you need to be doing. Not a lot of them practice what they preach. Why is that?  In this episode, Jesus brings on Chris Roche who is the CEO and Founder of Catalyst Consulting - a revenue and pipeline growth-focused marketing agency.  Roche began his entrepreneurial journey after college, launching a SaaS company to help facilitate the research and communication from high school athletes to college coaches/recruiters. After scaling that company to a successful exit, Roche headed up marketing and sales for Iron Forge - a custom software development shop, scaling their revenues from $250,000 to $3,000,000 in annual sales.  Roche founded Catalyst 12 months ago with the simple goal of taking his unique sales/marketing skill set and working with a small group of B2B SaaS companies.
