Where the go-to-market
disconnect shows up
What happens
What it really means
A sales team asks for a deck at short notice
The marketing team is brought in after the commercial thinking has already happened
A campaign is requested after the opportunity has passed
Marketing teams are responding to commercial activity rather than shaping it

Proposition ownership is unclear, or doesn’t build in market insight
Marketing teams report activity, but commercial teams cannot see the link to revenue

Marketing teams hear about commercial priorities informally or after decisions have been made
The marketing team is not part of the business’s core planning and decision-making rhythm
“I find marketing reports interesting. But it’s hard to join the dots to then see how useful they actually are.”
