GTM execution has always had a people problem. AI has broken it for good.

GTM teams are trying to fix what used to work. Believing that going back to fundamentals will fix your GTM motion. Focus on ICP, positioning, messaging, channels, all the usual stuff. But sales are off target, pipeline isn’t growing, and the board is seeing the same GTM info reported to them. GTM leaders are looking back, not forward. Hoping that optimisations and increased activity will revive their ZIRP era playbooks.

Best-in-class companies today have rebuilt their GTM engine around durable revenue leverage. They understand which fundamentals changed with AI.  What will persist in where your team, your customers, and your competitors live in an AI world. How to organise and operate their GTM teams to navigate changes. How to connect their board to the ground truth, so they can set strategy and guide the company. 

Demand Karma helps unlock consistent revenue growth with their unique Durable GTM. We bring Silicon Valley insight, which is 18 - 24 months ahead of the UK. Run by experienced operators who have successfully led GTM for VC portfolio companies, we equip boards with the timely, accurate, and complete GTM information they need to make decisions and set strategy.

The DD project undertaken was pretty unique from my perspective in the way that it got the job in hand done, but also really helped me enhance my thinking around things we should be doing at Delio post investment.
