The future of GTM is here...
Mass layoffs are rippin' through the economy. GTM teams are struggling with their outbound and inbound channels and strategy.
What got us into this mess won't get us out. Outbound and inbound are exhausted.
But, there is a better way forward.
The solution is nearbound.
The fastest, most reliable, efficient, and most effective way to the customer is with the people they already trust.
That's what defines the era of nearbound.
By the end of this year, GTM teams will be embracing nearbound as their #1 strategy.
This year, we'll be publishing the first-ever tactical step-by-step guide for sellers, managers, operations, partnerships, people, and leaders to work together to define the tactical plays for nearbound sales.
Join us on February 22, from 12 to 1 PM Eastern Time, as we define the future of go-to-market and bring forth the era of nearbound.
REGISTER HERE to experience the power of nearbound.
More fights, please!
You'll see below in the Image of the Day some shots fired by PartnerPage's Stewart Wesley about service orgs vs partnerships.
I hope those with the opposite view weigh in!
LinkedIn engagement culture sometimes leads to repetitive fluff and nothing but affirmations and smile emojis.
But nonobvious insights don't make friends. They create tension. They force debate.
I don't know about you but I want more of this!
Nothing personal. Just direct disagreement and open debate.
Let's go!
