How to think in bets for GTM, Building an AI GTM Engine

GTM surface area is wide. Bets-based thinking is how you decide what to start, what to stop, and what to scale with scarce time. They walk five rules for sizing bets, real examples, a portfolio view, and the weekly business review as the inspectable ritual. Attribution comes up in Q&A. The mechanism is supposed to make the motion faster, not prettier.

Notes

  1. 01

    Treat GTM work as a portfolio of bets, not a backlog of chores.

  2. 02

    Five rules in the session for managing and sizing those bets. Right-size before you staff.

  3. 03

    The weekly business review is how the portfolio stays inspectable.

  4. 04

    Know when to stop an initiative. Starting is easy. Killing is the skill.

  5. 05

    Pattern-match from client bet portfolios instead of inventing a new framework each quarter.
