Episode 12 is the proof-of-concept episode. Nigel Maine walks through the live RAG installation built on 1.67 million words of salesXchange IP — 708 documents, 4,590 retrieval chunks, 768-dimension embeddings running on Vertex AI Vector Search in Google Cloud's European region. The knowledge base is in. The closed-loop GTM system is operational. Then he reads the Manifesto.

The Manifesto is forty minutes of the most direct argument Nigel has ever made on camera. Seven movements. Forty years of B2B sales observation combined with a decade of systematic research. It names the failure, presents the data — from 14,106 MarTech products to 43% average quota attainment — and makes the case for Broadcast B2B Selling as the only model built around how B2B buyers have always behaved.

If you have privately suspected your GTM function is structurally broken, this episode is the forensic examination you've been waiting for. Watch the full episode, then follow the link to the sX Course below.
