The future of GTM Is AI-first

Key findings for go-to-market leaders

Priority #1

Streamline execution with a unified platform

Disconnected systems lead to misalignment, slower execution, and missed revenue goals. A connected, AI-powered tech stack drives alignment, visibility, and execution. As GTM strategies grow more complex, a well-integrated, connected system isn’t just helpful—it’s critical to executing at scale.

Priority #2

Improve rep performance with AI

Traditional training isn’t built for today’s fast-moving GTM teams. It’s often time-consuming and hard to scale. AI is changing that.

  • AI-powered training
    Compared to last year, 164% more companies are using AI in their sales training programs this year. Incorporating AI into sales training transforms passive experiences into active, practice-based moments for reps.
  • AI-powered coaching
    Managers spend 13 hours per week coaching reps—roughly 2.5 hours every day. Infusing AI into your coaching gives more time back to managers to focus on helping reps strategise and empowering them to succeed.
