If your GTM does not lean into AI, you have a problem

GTM & Strategy

Who is it for?

For sellers and sales leaders who run product demos.

When to use?

Use when demos feel feature-heavy and prospects disengage or go quiet afterwards.

14 Jul 2025

AI in GTM is becoming foundational. This post explores what happens when teams fail to integrate it deliberately.

Prediction: Sellers & leaders who do not lean into AI will find become irrelevant faster than you imagine.

Top-performing, AI-enabled companies spend 2x more time engaging customers.

So how do you get there?
How do you actually enable that kind of performance?

There are two routes — and the best teams are learning how to use both.

🔧 Build your own workflows

If you’ve spent time with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you know what’s possible. With the right prompts, you can:

* Research accounts or personas

* Draft messaging

* Get strategic input on deal coaching or team development

* Build an effective GTM plan

It’s powerful — but it’s not plug-and-play.

You need to learn how to prompt well. Build your own GPTs. Test, iterate, refine. If you’re looking for serious strategic lift from LLMs, it’s a great path — but expect to invest the time.

🛠 Buy what’s working

There’s been an explosion of AI-powered GTM tools in the last 12 months. Historically, I ignored cold outreach. Now I book a couple demos a week.

Some tools are forgettable. Some feel like features waiting to be acquired. But some are genuinely excellent — and they deliver value immediately.

These tools aren’t trying to be everything. They’re focused. Clear.
And often lightweight enough to trial without a big rollout or spend.

Key areas where there are great tools available today include:

* Target research and ICP definition

* Outbound messaging and personalization

* Deal coaching and forecasting

The real magic comes when you combine the two approaches.
Use the right tool off the shelf. And when needed, build your own edge.

What have you tried that actually made your team better?

You solved Founder-led sales. What about Founder-led Customer Success?

Founder led Customer Success is the parallel of Founder led Sales, but doesn't get anything like the same level of recognition. If you are growing significantly, this will quickly become an issue, and you need to migrate Success to a repeatable process in the same way you would have done with Sales.

There are two RevOps hires. Most companies hire the wrong one.

Most companies hire RevOps expecting both operational rigour and commercial insight - and get neither. The two roles require different skills, and conflating them in a single job spec is one of the more expensive hiring mistakes a scaling revenue team can make.

AE headcount is not a revenue plan

Starting with the number of AEs needed when building your revenue plan assumes pipeline, hiring speed, ramp time, and operational readiness will all hold. Most of the time, at least one of them doesn't - and the cost of being wrong is significant.
