B2B GO TO MARKET AND SALES GROWTH ENGINES
WHAT WE DO
and who we are
WHAT WE DO
At GTMstrat we started our careers as B2B sales pros who’ve successfully transitioned between legacy corporate sales environments and scrappy venture-backed startups. We know what it’s like to have a number on your head every month, quarter or year. We know about activity reports (we hated those), meeting quotas and keeping our Salesforce (or any other CRM) up to date. We also know how hard it is to develop strong relationships with key clients and prospects, long nights of entertaining and maybe even travel. And, we LOVED every second of it!
With all this, we also know how hard it is to find the time to prospect and make sure our pipeline stays full with active opportunities. It’s also the part of sales most teams like the least (ok, maybe they dislike expenses more, but prospecting is definitely a close second).
We’ve often wondered what it would be like if we could just spend time closing deals while outsourcing our prospecting to someone we trust. We’ve always known it would help us fill our pipeline with opportunities we just don’t have time to get to. The problem has been finding someone that will work as hard as we do so all the “crappy” work (well, we were thinking of another word. Will give you a hint, it starts with S and rhymes with the word Shitty).
To us, figuring out the puzzle of the right value proposition and matching that to the right audience using the right tools and tech is fun! Researching prospects, writing thoughtful, effective content...Content that gets meetings with qualified prospects and leads to more sales. Where can I sign my team up for this? Right here, my friend...Right here.
We also develop smart and strategic sales Go-To Market plans. What’s the right sales structure for your company to succeed today AND tomorrow? Need a sales playbook? Have your sales hit a wall and you have no idea why? We’ve got you covered.
IF YOU ARE A.....
CEO
As a CEO you wear lots of hats to “keep all the trains running on time”. You’ve got to make sure product gets developed, marketing has the tools they need, that all the bills get paid on time and all your billings deposited in the bank. Oh, yes, you’ve also got to make sure revenue keeps flowing in too.
Thankfully, you’ve probably got a head of sales, or at least salespeople who are in charge of revenue generation. We’re sure you are involved as you can be in the sales process, but you have lots of priorities of which this is only one.
Allow us to give you a peek inside the mind of your sales team..Good salespeople love being in front of qualified prospects, closing deals and entertaining clients with expensive meals and fancy perks. You know what they hate? Prospecting. It’s not that they are lazy, it’s just that people love doing what they are naturally good at. They gravitate towards the things they love and and do whatever they can to put off the stuff that sucks. Getting told “no” day after day sucks. So, why not spend time with the people who only say “yes”?
What if we could take the burden of rejection off their plates so they can spend more time in front of people that only want to say yes? They’d get more deals, generate more revenue and you’d get promoted to Chairman of the Board and be on the cover of Fortune Magazine.
Want your sales team to have access to more pipeline without giving them more work to do? Want there to be fewer dips in revenue and have a more predictable sales model? Call us, we can help. We can also put you in touch with the folks at Fortune Magazine...We’ll do that right after revenue doubles.
HEAD OF SALES
Let’s get real about B2B Sales. As sales pros who’ve worked in big corporate and scrappy startup environments targeting Enterprise and Mid-Market accounts, we recognize certain universal truths:
There’s a number on your head every month, quarter and year. And the more successful you are, the more you’re “rewarded” with even bigger targets next year.
Time in front of qualified prospects, growing customers and closing new business is AWESOME.
Time prospecting, territory planning, logging activities or anything having to do with Salesforce SUCKS.
Winning is everything… and “stuff” that sucks often gets in the way.
At GTMstrat, we take care of the stuff that sucks so you can do more of what’s awesome.
So now you’re thinking, one more universal truth:
No one else will do it right like you do. No one else will really find and research the right prospects, or craft a customized message per company or role, or get in the door, or frankly, be as effective on the crappy -- but important -- “stuff.”
Except, we think and act like you. At scale. We work as hard as we do so all the crappy work is, well, awesome.
Building intelligent Ideal Customer Profiles and highly researched Target Account Lists. Finding not just all contacts, but the best ones. Writing thoughtful, effective, highly customized outreach and making smart follow up calls that get meetings with qualified prospects and lead to more sales. And tracking and analyzing all to find your “sweet spots” to sell more. That’s what we do.
