    How Distribution Becomes a GTM Moat in the Age of AI

    September 18, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    Distribution is no longer about who spends the most on ads. In 2026, defensibility comes from channels you own and ecosystems that AI spam can’t flood. Email lists that buyers trust, partner platforms that carry your product, communities that people rely on, and events that buyers mark on their calendars — these are the levers that give GTM teams durable reach when everything else feels disposable.

    The Quiet Vendor Playbook: Earning Credibility Without Owning the Customer

    June 21, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    You’re not leading the pitch. You’re not listed in the contract. You might not even be introduced on the kickoff call. But if your product or service is driving the outcome, you still deserve a seat at the table. This is your playbook for staying credible, visible, and valuable, even when the partner owns the customer relationship.

    How to Optimize Your Content for AI Search: Get Quoted, Get Seen, Drive Pipeline

    June 20, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    The rules of inbound have changed… and your funnel didn’t get the memo! AI tools now decide what gets seen, what gets skipped, and who shows up when buyers start searching. If your content isn’t built for this new filter, it won’t just underperform, it’ll vanish.

    A modern businesswoman sits at the center of a corporate boardroom, surrounded by tangled lines and silhouetted figures symbolizing key stakeholders in a complex B2B buying process. Icons for finance, security, and operations float around her, representing conflicting priorities in enterprise sales. Clean, flat vector style with soft pastel tones.

    ABM That Moves Buying Committees (Not Just Personas)​

    June 11, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    Most enterprise deals don’t collapse because your value proposition missed the mark. They collapse in rooms you never get to see, among stakeholders you never fully engaged.

    Your champion loved the demo but can’t get finance to buy in. Legal is circling back on questions that were already answered. A new IT director demands extra security reviews. Before you know it, the opportunity goes dark.

    That’s the reality of buying committees in B2B. It isn’t a linear path from MQL to closed won, but a maze of agendas, hierarchies and internal tug-of-war.

    How do you build a shared ABM playbook across teams that actually works?

    May 29, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    You don’t need another template. You need alignment, clarity, and plays that don’t fall apart the second a lead crosses into someone else’s pipeline column. This is how you build an ABM playbook that doesn’t just sit in Notion. Why do most shared ABM playbooks quietly fail? Because they’re made in silos. Or worse, as […]

    How do you operationalize ABM across sales, marketing, and RevOps?

    May 28, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    When ABM is treated like a marketing campaign, it dies a slow death. You get shiny playbooks. You get templated sequences. But you don’t get revenue. Because the real power of ABM only shows up when sales, marketing, and RevOps run it together… with a shared target, shared motion, and shared accountability. Let’s break down […]

    ABM as a Revenue Strategy: Beyond Campaigns and Clicks

    May 27, 2025 Jahnavi Ray No comments yet

    It’s not because they’re lazy. It’s because ABM gets boxed into campaign thinking too quickly. A flashy one-to-one landing page. A sales-ignored nurture sequence. A LinkedIn ad set with “personalized” creative that never moved the needle. Sound familiar? ABM isn’t a channel or a project. It’s a go-to-market motion. And when you treat it like […]
