Meanwhile, the most frequently cited challenges in go-to-market efforts included industry competition, establishing product-market fit and navigating strategic complexity.

From a marketing perspective, what is one key way your team has adapted its go-to-market strategy in the last year? What spurred this change?
Our approach has significantly evolved over the past year, focusing on data-driven strategies and gaining buy-in from essential team members, including client-facing staff and leadership. We’ve thoroughly reviewed our primary client profiles, pinpointing key LTVindicators. This analysis led to a specialized playbook aimed at empowering our client-facing teams.
The central lesson? Different client types and risk profiles necessitate distinct experiences. Clients with lower conversion potential receive streamlined, transactional interactions, while those with higher complexity are matched with more personalized, expert-driven experiences.
How do you stay abreast of the latest market trends and developments? How do you leverage those trends in your evolving GTM strategy?
We prioritize ongoing user research and quick feedback loops from our client-facing teams. Additionally, we have dedicated team members who focus on identifying, analyzing and sharing industry trends with various departments. This proactive approach helps us integrate these trends into our evolving GTM strategy, ensuring we remain agile and responsive to market shifts.
