Sales & GTM

Go-to-market, distribution and selling — including to corporates.

Plenty of good products die with a weak go-to-market, and plenty of average ones win with a great one. Getting to market is its own discipline: who you sell to, how you reach them, what motion fits, and how you turn a first deal into a growing account.

Founders and operators on the network break down what actually worked — narrowing the ideal customer, the first repeatable sales motion, selling into corporates, and the unglamorous grind of early distribution.

“The main defensive moat that still exists now is distribution. In many verticals, the winner will be the company that's most successful at distribution.”
— Alan Jones, Pick My Brain with Alan Jones
