Welcome to the GTM Club!
GTM Club is here to create a place where Go-To-Market Leaders and Doers unite to help each other accelerate sales, scale effectively, and conquer their respective markets.
That is our vision. We are just getting started!
Currently, Ilkka, the GTM Club's founder and self-appointed club president, does most, if not all, of the work related to our vision. More about him a bit later.
Go-to-market is a vast topic, and to get started, we have selected our niche based on Ilkka's background. GTM Club's initial focus is sales-led GTM. Our content and upcoming resources are specifically tailored for those keen on deepening their understanding of go-to-market trends, strategies to drive sales growth, and practical applications for generating sales pipeline.
We look forward to the day GTM Club broadens its horizons to include diverse voices and perspectives, especially from areas outside the founder's immediate expertise. Viewpoints such as marketing, HR, and product development are very welcomed. The input of these varied viewpoints will undoubtedly deepen our collective insights and enhance the application of GTM approaches.
