B2B Expo Marketing Advice: Prioritize, Take Action, and Don’t Rely on Social Media Alone (with Dave Chire, Constant Contact)

At the B2B Expo, Meredith interviews Dave Chire, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact and host of the Be A Marketer podcast, about what small businesses are struggling with in marketing. Dave says many feel overwhelmed by noise and pressure to be everywhere, so he encourages prioritizing based on business goals, ignoring cookie-cutter advice, and scheduling non-negotiable time—even 15 minutes a day—to take imperfect but consistent action. He emphasizes momentum, repeating core messages with clarity, and staying consistent because audiences aren’t thinking about your business as much as you are. Dave shares how he uses AI daily to repurpose transcripts and ideas into posts and blogs. His key takeaway: don’t expect social media to do it all; real progress comes from follow-up, one-to-one conversations, and intentionally guiding engagement to next steps.
