How to End UGC Self-Sabotage in B2B with Vidlo’s Chynna Morgan

 

Most B2B marketers already know user-generated content (UGC) has power. But too many still get in their own way — clinging to polished video shoots, siloed workflows, or the excuse that their brand “isn’t sexy.” In the latest episode of UGC for B2B, host Daniel Litwin sits down with Chynna Morgan, CEO & Founder of Vidlo, to unpack why UGC struggles to launch in B2B and what pros can do differently.

The result? A playbook for moving past self-sabotage and turning UGC into a real driver of trust, sales, and community.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

  • The Real Bottleneck in B2B: Too many B2B pros self-sabotage by assuming UGC won’t work in their industry.

“A lot of the reasons you think user-generated content doesn’t work for your industry are self-imposed challenges. They’re hangovers from a previous era of marketing.” — Daniel Litwin

  • Strategy First, Selfies Second: Recording is easy; the challenge is having a strategy and workflow for the content.

“Using a UGC tool isn’t the hard part. The hard part is knowing what to do with the content.” — Chynna Morgan

  • Rethinking “Quality”: Polished video isn’t what builds trust — authenticity does.

“The most powerful video is often recorded on a phone. It’s not forced. It looks real. And people don’t like to be sold to — they like to make their own decision.” — Chynna Morgan

  • Community Is Your Best Marketing Asset: B2B teams don’t need to be flashy; their people and customer stories are already compelling.

“Your community is what makes you sexy. People want to buy from you because of your people and the problems you solve. That’s the sauce.” — Chynna Morgan

  • The 30-Day UGC Adoption Ladder: A practical blueprint for getting started: set your strategy, identify your ideal voices, craft prompts tied to funnel stages, and test small experiments. Keep it iterative — progress over perfection.

Key Takeaways for B2B Pros

  • Your excuses (“not sexy,” “not polished,” “not for us”) are holding you back.
  • UGC works when it’s tied to goals, workflows, and funnel stages.
  • Raw > polished. Authenticity builds more trust than studio shoots.
  • Incentives don’t need to be monetary — spotlight clients and employees.
  • UGC is about iteration, not perfection.
