💭 Are you involved in GTM in your organization?
Whatever your contribution to Go-to-Market, we want to hear from you!
With this year’s State of Go-to-Market survey, we’re doing things differently. There’s no one team that makes up a GTM strategy, which means a comprehensive Go-to-Market report can’t focus on just one team either.
With this report we're focusing the spotlight on you, the people who make Go-to-Market happen, to ensure your peers understand your responsibilities and challenges in the GTM process. Because when you're all speaking the same language you'll be able to Go-to-Market better, together.

If you’re passionate about learning, growth, and staying ahead of the curve – you’re in the right place. 📈
Make sure you join the #cfo-book-club channel in the Finance Alliance Slack by adding the channel.
Each month, we'll be selecting a new 'Book of the Month' through community polls, so you can have a say in what we read next. And we'll cap it off with an online meet-up where we'll discuss the book together, led by a member of the CFO Book Club team.
We'll also be inviting authors and industry experts to join us for live Q&A sessions, so you can get your burning questions answered and learn from the best.
Let's dive in and start reading! 🚀
