Alright RevGenius crew, TGIF @channel — Today’s not about playbooks. It’s about the real stuff we don’t always say out loud. Welcome to The Confessional. This thread is a space to name the wild, painful, or just plain ridiculous moments we’ve lived through in GTM. Let’s go first: “I once presented a QBR with a pipeline forecast I built 4 hours before the call… using a Google Sheet named Final_Final_3.” We’ve all got stories. Moments we guessed. Moments we covered. Moments we knew something had to change. 👂 We’re listening. 📝 Share yours in the thread or DM us if you’d rather stay anonymous. 💡 Some of these might get turned into shoutouts or stitched into the upcoming Growth AI report. We are documenting the challenges revenue leaders face to turn into shoutouts or stitched into the upcoming Growth AI category XFactor is building. Together we are shaping the future of GTM. Let’s normalize the chaos. Let’s laugh a little. And maybe—start building something better. 👇 What’s your confession? submit them here ➡️ https://www.xfactor.io/confessional (PS we are going to be releasing 'Revenue Creator' limited edition shirts and hats in the coming weeks and will pick among submissions to gift new RG swag to!) LFG
I closed a client by sharing the exact roadmap that a different company had followed, in a B2C space This is on the call - on the fly And he liked it Confession: I was drunk when I took that call.
Ben C. thoughts?? some common "confessions" you are seeing?
Karthiga R. Satwik G. I think the most common confession is making decisions and plans on assumptions. I think lots of people, when they really take a deep look, realize their growth goals aren't realistic - meaning they are assigned a target without context of capacity, productivity, marketing investment-- and they need to guess because their existing tools are only telling them what happened, not where to go next.
