GTM Strategy & Execution for B2B Software Companies
Turning What Your Top Performers Do Into What Everyone Does
You made it this far.Your team built something people actually want.On budget. With limited sleep. And more risk than anyone outside ever sees.That progress deserves to be honored.Now comes the part where scale gets hard.Growth companies are messy.That’s not a bug. It’s the operating reality of this stage.
The $1M Per Rep ProblemMost teams have a few reps who crush it. The rest struggle to keep up.When you factor in salary, benefits, tech licenses, recruiting cost, ramp time and especially the revenue lost from missed quota an underperforming rep can cost a business $1M+ per year.Multiply that across a team and you have a true eight-figure problem.Not because the team is bad.But because the standard isn’t clear, practiced, or inspected.
I figure out what works, scale it with you, and let go of what doesn’t.So when a CEO or CRO says:“We need a new deck.”
“We need training.”
“Our reps need to get better at discovery.”The real need is almost always bigger — and simpler:- A clear story everyone can tell- Structured practice so the team actually internalizes it- Pressure tests that expose gaps before customers do- Managers who inspect to the same standard every weekThat’s what creates consistency.
That’s what lifts win-rate.
That’s what scales.Not the assets — the system.
