Biography
Marketing today is optimized for clicks, funnels, and dopamine. But the B2B world isn’t chasing likes – it’s protecting margins, reputations, and careers.
In this world, your buyers don’t double-tap or comment. They open your email, read it twice, and then vanish into silence. Weeks of silence. Months. And yet – this silence doesn’t mean they’re not interested.
For over 22 years, Margo White has been decoding that silence. She has built her career inside markets that resist change – and proven that with the right psychology and structure, even the most traditional industries can evolve.
She began university at fifteen, studying Japanese and economics while working full-time in sales – cold-calling from a landline with nothing but a list of corporate numbers and conviction that she could lead people through change. That conviction became a career.
After mastering media sales at Cosmopolitan magazine, she entered investment and finance at just nineteen, assisting the General Director of EuroGeorgia Development before expanding into the UK and French carbon credit markets with Vinexpansion Sarl. Later, she joined Avgen Insurance Bureau, a Lloyd’s agency specializing in aviation and marine risk – where she learned the discipline of managing complex, multi-stakeholder deals across countries, languages, and time zones.
In 2013, Margo founded Financial Brokers Georgia, one of the first licenced insurance brokerage firms in Georgia (country). Her very first client was HeidelbergCement – a 3000-employee industrial giant – followed by PwC, Georgian Airways, and the American Chamber of Commerce.
As a CSR Committee Chair at AmCham, she built partnerships between Fortune 500 companies and local enterprises, proving that impact and profitability can coexist.
Her career later brought her to working for brokerage innovators John Sbrocco and Craig Lack in the US, helping firms redesign how they attract and close corporate accounts. Through that experience, she realized a painful truth: most brokers and B2B professionals don’t lose deals because of their product – they lose because they don’t have control over the process.
That realization became the foundation for Laser-Prospecting, the system she now shares through Prospecting Broker – a platform designed for brokers and consultants who manage long, complex deal cycles with multiple decision-makers, each guarding a different agenda.
Today Margo’s work bridges business psychology, behavioral economics, and strategic communication. She helps professionals master precision over noise – teaching them that success in B2B doesn’t come from mass outreach, but from emotional intelligence, deal design, and a relentless focus on Laser, not Luck.

Decoding the Unseen Psychology Behind High-Stakes B2B Deals.
In “Survivors, Inventors,” Margo pulls back the curtain on what really drives corporate decision-making in deals that take 12-18 months to close.
Every organization, she explains, is powered by two psychological archetyles:
Survivors – the protectors of what already works. They mitigate risk, preserve order, and defend systems that keep the lights on.
Inventors – the disruptors. They challenge assumptions, invite chaos, and build what comes next.
The tension between them defines every boardroom debate. And the silence between them hides every stalled deal.
Through this lens, Margo introduces the Three Inner Stages of Change – the invisible journey every buyer takes before saying yes:
- Inner Minimum – the illusion of stability (“we’re satisfied”)
- Inner Breakdown – the moment of friction when cracks appear (“the betrayal”)
- Inner Maximum – the acceptance of a new reality that must be built (“the new standard”)
Laser-Prospecting: The Discipline of Control.
It rejects the idea that success comes from calling more people or sending more emails. Instead, it focuses on designing a controlled environment where every conversation, follow-up and meeting happens with intention.
Laser-Prospecting is a structured deal system. Each target prospect gets its own file: every call note, meeting script, and piece of data organized like an investor’s portfolio. Brokers learn to study each company’s current stage – not just whether they said “yes” or “no,” but why they’re there, and adjust strategy accordingly. “No” isn’t final; it’s feedback.
Margo teaches brokers, consultants, and executives to target the Top 30 accounts that can truly move the needle, and to master the psychology of decision-makers behind them: CFOs, CEOs, HR leaders, and board members, each evaluating the deal through a different lens.
Through deep research and consistent follow-up, brokers work each deal over 12–18 months until timing, mindset, and value align. It’s how real professionals turn long cycles into predictable wins.
TALKING POINTS
How People Buy (Instead of How To Sell) - Understanding multi-stakeholder dynamics from CFO to CEO to HR.
In B2B, nobody buys alone. Understanding the invisible dance between the members of the C-Suite is deal psychology. Once you see how decisions really move through an organization, everything about your outreach changes.
Laser, Not Luck: How To Build a Predictable System for Unpredictable Deals - The mindset shift from chasing volume to orchestrating precision.
B2B salespeople often chase volume and call it hard work. The real pros design precision – building systems that turn chaos into patterns and randomness into data. It’s not luck that closes complex B2B deals. It’s structure disguised as intuition.
The Death of the “Numbers Game” in B2B Sales - Why calling more people isn’t power - thinking more strategically is.
Dialing faster doesn’t mean winning sooner. The era of brute-force prospecting is over – strategy beats volume every time. Power now comes from understanding who to call, when to call, and why they’d care.
Selling to the Silent Majority - Influencing the unseen decision-makers who never speak in meetings but decide everything.
Every deal has people who never show up on Zoom, never reply to emails – yet their opinion decides everything. Learning to influence those silent stakeholders is the difference between a “great meeting” and a signed contract.
The Inner Breakdown - Spotting and accelerating the Prospect’s emotional rupture that drives change. (The moment every deal truly begins)
Every deal starts long before a proposal – it begins the moment the prospect quietly realizes their current solution no longer works. That emotional rupture, the Inner Breakdown, is where change is born. Learn to spot it, and you’ll never have to “convince” anyone again.
Survivors vs Inventors - How these archetypes shape every corporate decision and how to sell to both.
Every corporate decision is made by one of two archetypes: the Survivor, who protects what exists, and the Inventor, who builds what’s next. Knowing which one you’re talking to changes everything – your pitch, your timing, and even the language that gets the deal across the line.
The 12-Month Deal - How real B2B deals unfold - the hidden emotional stages inside long decision cycles.
Real B2B deals don’t die – they evolve in silence. Behind every long decision cycle are emotional stages: excitement, doubt, resistance, and eventual clarity. Understanding that rhythm lets you stay present in the deal even when the inbox goes quiet.
Why Good Logic Fails In Great Deals - The shocking truth: deals don’t fall apart because of numbers - they fall apart because of human inconsistency.
Numbers on the spreadsheet don’t kill deals – people do. The best logic often collapses under the weight of fear, pride, and internal politics. Once you understand that B2B decisions are emotional first and rational second, you stop selling spreadsheets and start managing human inconsistency.
The Three-Act Drama of Every Corporate Decision - Why every deal follows a hidden storyline - from denial to disruption to rebirth.
A deal is a story in disguise. It starts with denial (“everything’s fine”), moves through disruption (“something’s breaking”), and ends with rebirth (“we need a new way”). Learn to read where your prospect is in the plot, and you’ll know exactly what to say – and when to say nothing at all.
Destiny. Drama. DealFlow - Why every B2B deal mirrors a mythic story arc, and how to guide your prospect through it.
B2B deal is a modern hero’s journey – filled with resistance, trials, and a final moment of transformation. The best brokers don’t push prospects; they guide them through the story. Master the arc, and you turn every deal into destiny fulfilled.
Study Their Last “Yes” - The secret to decoding your prospect’s decision DNA, by studying how they’ve said yes before.
Your prospect’s buying logic isn’t random – it’s repetitive. The way they said yes before reveals how they’ll say it again. Decode that pattern, and you’ll stop pitching blind and start speaking their decision language.
SPORTS, LIFE, ENDURANCE
Endurance Over Energy: What Marathons Taught Me About Closing Million-Dollar Deals - The psychology of patience, rhythm, and emotional stamina in long-cycle sales.
Million-dollar deals aren’t won by who sprints the fastest – they’re won by who holds the pace when everyone else burns out. Marathon training teaches the same lesson as B2B sales: patience, rhythm, and emotional stamina beat bursts of motivation every time.
Motivation Is A Made-Up Word
Fifty years ago, no one sat around waiting to “feel motivated.” People set goals and got to work. Then came the self-help era – an entire industry built on convincing you to question your purpose instead of pursuing it. The truth? Motivation can ruin your life faster than build it. And we’ll talk about how to escape it.
B2B businessman’s WORKOUT routine
Training isn’t just physical – it’s neurological architecture for action. The right mix of endurance, resistance, and rhythm doesn’t just shape your body; it rewires how you approach decisions, risk, and persistence in business. It’s not about six-packs – it’s about synapses. The gym becomes a rehearsal room for every high-stakes deal.
MARVEL & DC superhero tricks for B2B marketing
The secret isn’t capes or powers. It’s mission. Superheroes attract allies because everyone wants to belong to a cause bigger than themselves. The same applies in B2B. When your brand stands for something clear and bold, prospects don’t just buy from you, they enlist in your story.
“Your offer doesn’t live or die in the meeting where you pitch it. It lives or dies in the room you’ll never see - when your prospect has to defend it to a skeptical CFO, a hostile HR director, or their own sense of safety.”
Chapter "Why Great Offers Still Get Rejected."Survivors, Inventors
“Nobody buys a new story until they’re ready to betray the old one. And betrayal is always emotional before it’s rational.”
Chapter "B2B In The Age Of Gut Feeling"Survivors, Inventors
“Most rookie brokers think prospects switch vendors when something is obviously broken. Wrong. Broken things don’t always get fixed – especially if surviving feels safer than changing.”
Chapter "Evolution Called. They Let It Go To Voicemail."Survivors, Inventors
“At the end of it all, Survivors keep the system alive. Inventors keep the future alive. The tension between the two isn’t the problem. It’s the engine.”
