Agree with Sam Jacobs on these! Additional symptoms that you might be out of GTM Alignment: 9 - You budget and plan entirely in silos across Product, Marketing, SDR, Sales and CS (i.e. your GTM functions) 10 - Your GTM functions don't share a single source of truth for revenue/growth metrics, reporting and dashboards 11 - Your company doesn't explicitly break down its company growth goals into supporting, granular growth goals across acquisition/renewal/expansion, across divisions/regions/products, and across segment/account tiers 12 - You don't plan and execute cross-functional, integrated growth plays that purposely and unify and orchestrate your cross-company GTM teams actions 13 - You don't run a mandatory, biweekly GTM operating meeting at the strategic/executive and tactical/departmental levels #B2BGTM Intelligent Demand

8 signs you might be out of GTM alignment: 1. You don’t have a comprehensive view of the customer lifecycle 2. Every department has their own ops person with different data - there is no one single source of truth 3. The same words (eg “Revenue”, “Funnel”, “Onboarding”) means different things in different departments 4. Each exec goes to a different conference to learn a different set of tools that don’t integrate 5. You don’t have a consistent definition of your ICP 6. You're consistently asking, “Should we sell to this person?” implying that even if you’ve defined your ICP, your team doesn’t actually believe you mean it 7. Product, Sales, and Marketing are sending different emails to the same customer multiple times per week without coordination 8. Nobody at the company can agree on how you’re going to hit your growth targets Alignment comes from the same KPIs from a single source of truth, governed by a coherent and uniform methodology of the customer journey, and aligned against ongoing and recurring customer impact.
