Shownotes

What do you really inherit when you step into a new GTM leadership role — a growth engine or hidden drag?

In this episode Phil walks through a repeatable framework to help GTM leaders objectively assess the GTM assets they inherited - including partnerships, sales, marketing, and product-led channels - and make confident decisions that fuel sustainable growth and leadership clarity.

  1. Learn how to quickly assess which GTM assets truly fit your strategy and ICP today
  2. Discover a practical framework to identify leverage across partnerships and other channels
  3. Gain confidence to decide what to double down on, stabilize, or sunset — without damaging trust or momentum

If you want a clear GTM assessment playbook that strengthens your leadership and accelerates growth, this episode is for you.

New episodes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
