Can't agree more! Like, less is more as we say! Fewer ASINs means you're focusing on the real winners, and a cleaner VC keeps things running smooth. And yeah, the stricter GTM is key to making sure you're not wasting any time or resources.
By the way, do you think tightening up your GTM strategy is more important than streamlining the product lineup? Looking for your insights
Absolutely! Streamlining with fewer ASINs, cleaner VC structures, and stricter GTM strategies truly seems to be the winning formula for driving growth and efficiency in enterprise brands
Are We Too Focused on the Big Wins?
In #IndustrialTech, it’s tempting to focus on the big wins—game-changing contracts, breakthrough innovations, or large-scale transformations. But chasing only the big milestones can make us miss smaller, yet important, opportunities along the way.
The journey toward long-term success isn’t just about landing high-stakes deals. It’s the quick wins that help build momentum, boost confidence, and lay the groundwork for bigger achievements. Small wins keep the pipeline moving, help you build credibility, and give you early results that can pave the way for larger goals.
So while the big wins are exciting, lets not underestimate the power of low-touch marketing strategies that can drive results right now. They’re just as essential for building toward something bigger.

ABM has lacked modernization → since 2016.
Here are 5 reasons to retire the legacy “1:1, 1:Few and 1:Many” Pyramid.
FIRST OFF
Leaders and practitioners have been starved of innovation after the acquisitions of SiriusDecisions & TOPO in 2019.
This is why ABM leaders have been turning to MarTech companies to fill the gap.
↳ Hence why some believe you need a +$100k Platform to “do ABM”
5 REASONS WHY THE LEGACY PYRAMID NEEDS TO GO
1. Initially built for organizations who have a high Average Contract Value (ACV), and is intended to run alongside a Demand Generation / Integrated Marketing function.
2. Fails to reflect a Tiered account-based strategy, leaving the term “1:1 ABM” exorbitantly misinterpreted and misused across ABM leaders.
3. The implementation of “Programmatic ABM” or “1:Many” typically ends up being a fantasy that is listed on an organization’s QBR slides without disciplined execution or metrics / KPIs tracked.
4. Doesn’t articulate how to incorporate a Deal Acceleration approach.
5. Ignores a framework for the convergence of demand generation and ABM into a full account-based GTM strategy, of which go-to-market leaders are now under immense pressure to deliver.
TAKEAWAY
This is why we're pioneering the modernized Enterprise ABM & Growth ABM deployment models.
P.S. we’ll be in Austin, TX on 9/6 → highlighting examples of Enterprise ABM & Growth ABM from our Benchmark Audits at our Account-Based Innovation Tour event.

Last weekend, ✅ Tyler Pleiss ✅(former #ABM leader at Clari and current leader at Movable Ink) mentioned in his newsletter that the ABM pyramid is no longer relevant. I agreed and wrote about it in this post:
https://lnkd.in/eVzM2JPf
Now, Davis Potter is also saying we need to retire the legacy 1:1, 1: few and 1: many pyramid. And, I agree with him just like I agreed with Tyler.
First of all, 1: many is not ABM. I even argue that 1: few is not ABM - it's account-based #demandgen.
Second of all, the pyramid represents a tiering, segmentation and prioritization strategy -- not a #GTM strategy as we need to integrate 1: many, 1: few and 1:1 ABM programs. One program should feed the other and the 1:1 should be used to move to revenue high intent, highly engaged tier 1 and 2 accounts that have an active strategic priority in place that you can play a strong role in.
I'm not sure if we should even have an ABM pyramid anymore, but at least in the modernized pyramid by Davis -- it reflects more of an account-based GTM motion. One: many tiered ABM programs then feed into 1: few that feeds into 1:1 as deals progress.
What are your thoughts on the current ABM pyramid and the one that Davis put together?

Who knew ‘getting paid to make friends’ was a real job? 🤑
But it’s more than just friendly connections
— partnerships drive growth.
At Pavilion#GTM2024, I heard Jason Yarborough 🐻 unpack what partnerships really mean.
His insights, backed by data, showed how partnerships can reshape GTM strategies for impact.
--------
3 ways to make partnerships your GTM advantage:
1️⃣ Build Relationships
Align on shared goals and co-sell to create value for mutual customers.
2️⃣ Make Partnerships Core
Companies with strong ecosystems grow revenue 23% faster and increase productivity by 50%. (Forrester, Accenture)
3️⃣ Think Ecosystem-Led
Up to 29% of B2B revenue now comes from partners.
It’s time to go from tactical to strategic. (McKinsey)

Are partnerships central to your GTM strategy?
