In most cases, the reason is simple โ€”

teams work in silos, or the structure itself isnโ€™t fully aligned.


They pour energy into launches โ€”

ads, campaigns, pipeline targets โ€”

and wonder later why traction doesnโ€™t compound.


But the problem rarely lives at the launch level.

It sits deeper โ€” in the system that turns invention into traction.

That system is your ๐—š๐—ผ-๐˜๐—ผ-๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜ โ€” where product, marketing, and sales finally align.


If youโ€™re a tech company, this is where it hurts most.

Too much weight on the tech itself โ€” not enough on how itโ€™s positioned, narrated, and sold.

Thatโ€™s why even strong products often fail to cross the market gap.


When GTM works, four levers move together:

โ†’ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ โ€” the thing actually delivers value.

โ†’ ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ โ€” people get it instantly.

โ†’ ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฒ-๐˜๐—ผ-๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜ โ€” the org can truly reach those buyers.

โ†’ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฝ โ€” field insights sharpen how the company tells, sells, and learns.


When one slips, traction quietly breaks down.

You donโ€™t see it right away โ€” but you feel it in next quarterโ€™s numbers.


The best operators donโ€™t treat GTM as a marketing checklist โ€”

they treat it as a ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ.

Which of these four levers breaks most often in your organization โ€” product, narrative, route, or enablement?
