GTM OPERATING SYSTEM & IMPLEMENTATION

Make GTM work in the business, not only in a deck.

A GTM strategy exists, but it has not changed how product, marketing, sales and customer success actually work day to day.

You may need this if…

Strategy is not reflected in daily execution
Product, marketing, sales and customer success work from different assumptions
The CRM does not reflect the real process, or nobody trusts the dashboards

Strategic questions this addresses

  • Who owns each GTM decision, and where do handoffs break down?
  • Does the CRM and data structure reflect how the business actually sells?
  • What should be automated, and what still needs a person?
  • What gets reviewed, by whom, and how often?

FAQ

Do we need to replace our CRM or existing tools?
Not necessarily. smart42 starts from your existing stack and changes what is needed to support the redesigned process.
Can smart42 work as an embedded or fractional team?
Yes. Depending on scope, smart42 can work alongside your team through design, build and embed stages rather than handing over a document.
