Why isn't my GTM working?

A GTM Diagnosis is a full-system audit of how your company finds, convinces and converts buyers. It traces visible symptoms, such as low pipeline, long sales cycles and weak win rates, back to their root causes, and ranks what to fix first.

You might be seeing

  • Pipeline targets missed for two or more quarters, and nobody agrees why
  • Marketing and sales blaming each other's numbers
  • A product that customers love but new buyers don't "get"
  • Lots of tactics running, and no clear priority

What's usually happening

Symptoms appear in one place but start somewhere else. Low conversion is often a positioning problem. Poor lead quality is often an ICP problem. Slow execution is often an operations problem. Without a diagnosis, teams treat symptoms and stay stuck.

How we do it

  1. Intake: a 45-minute discovery with leadership, plus access to your data
  2. Review: a review of your website, messaging, campaigns, CRM funnel, sales materials and competitors
  3. Diagnosis: a scored assessment across 6 systems: ICP, Positioning, Demand, Conversion, Sales Enablement, Ops/AI
  4. Plan: a prioritised 90-day plan of quick wins, core fixes and the long game
  5. Readout: a 60-minute session with your team

Frequently asked questions

What is a GTM diagnostic?

A GTM diagnostic is a structured audit of how a company finds, convinces and converts buyers. It scores six systems: ICP, positioning, demand, conversion, sales enablement and operations. It identifies which one is limiting pipeline, and recommends what to fix first.

How is a GTM audit different from a marketing audit?

A marketing audit reviews channels and campaigns. A GTM audit reviews the whole system from market definition to closed revenue, including sales enablement, data and operations, because most pipeline problems cross team boundaries.

Is this the same as the free GTM Scorecard?

The free check gives you an instant, self-reported read. The GTM Diagnosis is a deep, evidence-based audit using your real data.

What access do you need for a GTM diagnosis?

Read-only access to analytics, CRM reports and sales materials. An NDA is signed first.

Can the GTM Diagnosis be credited toward a larger engagement?

Yes. If you continue with a full engagement within 30 days, the diagnosis is credited toward it.
