RV172 - GTM Bloat and Financial Metrics in B2B SaaS Companies | Go To Market Live Episode 14


Listen Later

In this week’s event, Chris provides detailed information on the financial strategies of B2B companies and the problems associated with excessive go-to-market (GTM) strategies. He leads listeners through topics including demand generation marketing, company growth, and the excessive spending on sales and marketing known as GTM bloat.

Chris clearly explains the current market situation and advises companies to focus on the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) payback period for financial planning instead of the traditional percentage of revenue approach. He summarizes the problems with having too many specialized roles in sales and marketing, identifies typical mistakes in budgeting, and recommends a financially sound approach that emphasizes effective customer acquisition and long-term stability instead of quick growth.


If you want to have a conversation with Chris and present your current questions, roadblocks, or projects you’re working through, make sure to attend this weekly event every Tuesday at 12 central. Register here.
