MUST LISTEN: The 9 Biggest GTM Dysfunctions in B2B SaaS


Listen Later

This week on GTM Live, Carolyn and Trevor unpack the 9 go-to-market dysfunctions quietly derailing growth at even the most ambitious B2B companies.

They dig into why so many teams, despite big budgets, headcount, and tools, are still struggling to drive efficient growth.

Spoiler: it’s not the people. It’s the system.

You’ll hear why fragmented data, financial secrecy, and siloed ownership are causing misalignment across marketing, sales, finance, and CS. And what it takes to rebuild GTM as a unified, accountable system.

Trevor breaks down the real role of RevOps (and why it’s failing in most orgs), while Carolyn makes the case for ditching vanity metrics and rethinking how you measure and invest in growth.

If you’re questioning whether your CAC is sustainable or your GTM truly aligned, this one’s for you.

Key topics in this episode:

  • The 9 biggest GTM dysfunctions hurting growth
  • Why RevOps struggles to drive real impact
  • How to align GTM and finance on a shared data model
  • The danger of over-investing in top-of-funnel
  • Why teams fix symptoms, not systems
  • What it actually takes to build a full-funnel growth engine
