Discussion of Go-To-Market worksheets from homework
In this new world, companies are increasingly required to orchestrate and leverage every function of the company to align around complex and coordinated GTM motions. It is no longer enough to simply point to the sales organization and expect them to deliver a functioning GTM. Instead, sales, marketing, customer success, and even product must work together to bring products to market.
Delivered by serial entrepreneur and MIT Entrepreneur in Residence Adam Blake who will draw on a wealth of real-world experiences to bring relevant examples, data and knowledge to this workshop.
This workshop will cover the principles underlying the four major Go-To-Market motions: Product Led Growth, Inside Sales, Field Sales, and Partnerships, with deeper dives into the newer motions (Product Led Growth and Inside Sales).
In addition, traditional GTM stages will be explored with a focus on how each role in your organization (not just your sales team) needs to behave to maximize the ability to generate sales leads, perform growth marketing and operate a modern customer success organization.
This event is supported by the Department for the Economy.
Adam Blake is currently Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Telescoped, a referral only network of elite engineers in Latin America. Prior to Telescoped Adam co-founded ThriveHive, a SaaS company providing marketing solutions to small businesses that was acquired by New Media in 2016. Adam served in a variety of roles at ThriveHive, both before and after the acquisition, including COO, CMO, and GM and played an instrumental role in scaling the company to $100 Million per year in revenue. Prior to founding ThriveHive, Adam founded and bootstrapped a successful consumer electronics business and was an early employee at a cleantech startup where he served as director of technology development.
Adam holds three patents, has received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management with a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Adam is also an active startup advisor, investor, and currently co-teaches Entrepreneurial Sales (course 15.387) at MIT.
