KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Go-to-market works as a flywheel, not a funnel. There is no silver bullet. Not ABM, not PLG, not AI. The companies that win are the ones doing the right fundamentals together, in alignment, consistently. Where A leads to B leads to C, the flywheel builds momentum on its own.

  • Work backwards from your best customer, not your pipeline target. Most GTM teams are siloed, optimising their own metrics in their own lane. The fix is simple but hard: define what your best customer looks like, understand how they buy, and cascade that understanding across every function, from product to marketing to customer success.

  • Authenticity isn't a soft skill, it's a competitive advantage. The stats say customers don't trust salespeople and want rep-free experiences. Richard's take: that's a quality problem, not a sales problem. The reps who invest genuinely in understanding a customer's world, before pitching anything, are the ones customers return to across companies, across decades, and across four car purchases.
