GTM doesn’t break overnight.
It breaks slowly - in the whispers, not the alarms.

It breaks when reps stop following up consistently.
When deals stall in mid-funnel for ‘no reason.’
When CRM updates lag by a week.
When the team confuses activity with progress.
When leaders keep pushing for more top-of-funnel volume instead of fixing the leaks right in front of them.

For a long time, I confused a ‘busy’ pipeline with a ‘healthy’ one.

We had deals.
We had calls.
We had demos.
We had activity.

But deals weren’t moving.

The loud failure happens when revenue misses the quarter.
The quiet failure happens months before - when deals start losing momentum silently and you don’t notice.

The turning point for us was seeing deals die not because of product fit, but because of:
→ fragmented data
→ tool overload
→ lost context
→ slow engagement
→ lack of multi-threading
→ reps stretched too thin

The fix wasn’t more tools.
It wasn’t more leads.
It wasn’t more sequences.

It was simply this:
Care more about the deals you already have than the leads you don’t.

GTM teams rarely fail because they don’t generate enough interest.
They fail because they can’t convert the interest they already earned.

When did you realize your GTM wasn’t failing loudly - it was failing quietly?

Most teams obsess over top of funnel.
Very few obsess over the middle of the funnel - and that’s exactly where most deals die.

It’s comfortable to generate more leads, buy more lists, fire off more sequences, push volume. It feels like progress.

It’s much harder to admit that your existing opportunities aren’t moving because:

Your CRM is fragmented.
Your data lives in 6 different tools.
Your reps lose context.
Your follow-ups are inconsistent.
Your pipeline signals are weak.
Your team can’t multi-thread effectively.
and only the top 20% of sellers actually know how to build relationships.

I saw this firsthand.
Back when I was running sales alone with 15+ deals in the pipeline, I’d see prospects slowly reduce replies, lose context, or disappear altogether.

Not because the deal wasn’t a good fit.
But because I failed to engage them at the right moments.

Deals don’t fall through loudly.

They leak quietly.

The root cause?
People, process, and tooling - all misaligned.

The fix?
Shift from ‘more leads’ → ‘more momentum on existing deals.’

Because optimizing the middle of the funnel requires:

Consistent value at every touch.
Better signals.
Cleaner context.
Vertical AI that understands your pipeline and moves deals forward.
And leadership willing to invest in the hard things.

It’s not glamorous.
But it’s the difference between revenue engine and revenue theatre.

P.S. What’s one GTM problem you think companies still pretend doesn’t exist?

As a founder, I spent too long solving the wrong problem.

We thought our ‘customer’ was the salesperson - the rep trying to get through their daily workflow, juggling 6 different tools, updating CRM, fighting data redundancy, trying to squeeze more output out of broken systems. 

It made sense at the time. Engineers are trained to obsess over the end user. So we followed that instinct: fix the rep’s pain, improve their daily workflow, give them superpowers.

But the more we built, the more something felt off.

Reps loved the product. Usage was high. Feature requests kept coming.

But no one wanted to pay.

Because the real customer wasn’t the user.

It was the CRO - the person responsible for revenue, funnels, team performance, and targets.

Their pain was completely different.
- Deals stuck in mid-funnel.
- 60 - 70% of sellers are underperforming.
- Reps drowning in admin work.
- No visibility, no signals, no momentum.

We were solving workflow pain when the buying power cared about revenue pain.

The turning point?
When 50+ reps from enterprise companies onboarded to our platform and not a single one had the agency - or budget - to buy what they were using.

That’s when it clicked:
Build for the buyer. Not the user.

Once we shifted to enterprise sales, long cycles, custom pricing, value-based selling - everything changed.

Because we were finally solving the pain that actually mattered.

Today, our rule is simple:
Only build features that generate measurable revenue impact. Everything else is noise.

P.S. What’s one time you realized you were selling to the wrong ‘customer’?
