Most B2B Companies Get This Wrong | GTM Reality Check
Most B2B businesses are spending half a million pounds or more a year on a go-to-market model that doesn't work. Not because the people running it aren't capable — but because the model itself is broken. Tools that don't talk to each other. Teams whose job is to operate those tools. Outbound sequences that get ignored. And an ROI that is, almost universally, terrible.
In this episode, Nigel Maine breaks down the structural cost of fragmented GTM, explains why serious B2B buyers do not respond to interruption-based selling, and shows — with live data — what a broadcast-driven commercial infrastructure actually produces when you stop chasing and start being visible. He also reveals something that happened this week that is one of the most commercially significant developments in B2B AI right now: a 1.53 million word IP corpus, indexed and queryable in BigQuery, producing show scripts, LinkedIn posts, and investor communications indistinguishable from what the founder would have written himself.
If you run a B2B business with a complex sale, senior buyers, and a decision-making cycle that takes months — this is for you. Watch to the end for the data.
What this episode covers
• The real cost of fragmented GTM — tools, headcount, agencies, and ad spend
• Why serious B2B buyers research anonymously and don't respond to outbound
• The Mere Exposure Effect and why consistency builds purchase-ready trust
• What sX Live actually is and why broadcast is not the same as video or webinars
• 90-day data: 1,668 PDF downloads, 35% email open rate, 7.8% LinkedIn engagement — all organic
• How Claude wrote this show script from a 1.53 million word indexed IP corpus
• The difference between using AI as a chat tool and deploying AI as a component of a commercial operating system
• What a queryable BigQuery telemetry layer gives you that no CRM can
Who this model is for — and who it isn't
Who should watch
B2B founders, CEOs, MDs, and commercial directors who are questioning their current GTM spend and want to understand whether a broadcast-driven, AI-augmented infrastructure could replace what they're currently paying for.
