Episode notes
Backsolve From KPIs To Attribution
- Backsolve from business goals to attribution: fix the KPI first, then use attribution to optimize investments.
- Attribution explains why performance moved, but business metrics determine whether you're winning.
Run Your GTM Like A Factory
- Treat revenue creation like a factory: marketing and SDRs should supply quality signals; expensive sales reps should assemble deals.
- Move low-value inspection tasks to SDRs so salespeople focus on closing.
Measure Sales Triggers, Not Single Sources
- Track the 'sales trigger' (the stacked signals prompting outreach) instead of a single misleading 'source' field.
- Measure the supply-chain investments that feed SDRs and sales separately from brand spend.
