GTM Strategy and Revenue Accelerator :: Chief Market Officer : Executive for Hire :: Marketing and Sales Mentor
I have been living and practicing #GTM for a decade+. A unified GTM is the right strategy - integrating market, product, marketing, customer success, and sales (in that order). You can see the light bulb going off at more and more companies. This is not a fad, not a buzzword, and it's not a #salesmarketingalignment thing. In my experience, this focus has been an inhibitor to success. It's already hard enough to create a successful company and value solutions that markets need and want. Having held roles in #marketing, #sales, #product, and #customer success and now three years in a business 100% focused on unified GTM, it works. It's natural, and it makes sense. I know it's not easy. The larger the corporation, the harder it is to unify strategy, people, systems, processes, and data (emphasis on the people). And it is definitely not about technology. Tech plays a role but supports the strategy, It's exciting to see GTM teams who commit to adapting to the changing buying and decision-making process and align with what businesses and tech leaders prioritize. It's not #SaaS. GTM Partners
“This is not a fad, not a buzzword, and it's not a #salesmarketingalignment thing. In my experience, this focus has been an inhibitor to success.” Bears repeating again, again and again!!!!
That's a decade+ of dedication paying off. Integrated GTM is key. It's all coming together for many companies. Let's keep that momentum going
Alignment across an organization is always critical yet never easy. GTM efficiently brings it all together -- and it's measurable so inevitable course corrections are clear.
sounds like you've really mastered the gtm approach! how do you keep up with all those dynamics?

1moI just finished my 500th story (OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration) on seemingly unacheivable sales & marketing alignment. This time I asked if AI could break the stalemate. I talked to great people but didn’t get overwhelming support for the thesis. I don’t think #GTM means the same thing at every organization, but it seems to have the best chance of getting everyone on the same page
