We are proud to announce that this week’s newsletter is sponsored by Allô, whose AI-powered business phone system helps small teams manage calls, capture leads with an AI answering service, and get call summaries on cell phones with transcriptions.

For the past five weeks, Dale Zwizinski, Chief GTM Officer at Revenue Reimagined, has been sharing his 5-step plan for integrating AI into your GTM strategy with our community.

Fresh off the heels of HubSpot Inbound, we’re recapping each step below with links back to the original posts for a deeper dive.

In the weeks ahead, Dale will be unpacking these ideas further.

And if you’d like to join the conversation, we’re always looking for leaders with a unique point of view on the future of AI and GTM to contribute - whether that’s writing for our newsletter, speaking at events, or engaging with the community.

Your 5-Part Strategic Roadmap to AI-Native Transformation

Part 1: The Strategic Imperative: Why This Is No Longer Optional

Let's be clear, in this new era, standing still is the same as moving backward. The market is already splitting between AI adopters and those who will be left behind.

The early data is telling a stark story. Companies weaving AI into their go-to-market strategy are already reporting 26-50% higher win rates, up to 78% higher conversion rates, and 62% shorter sales cycles.

But those are just the opening shots. The real disruption is the ability to completely decouple revenue from headcount. If you want a glimpse of the future, look at Midjourney—an AI company serving millions of users with a team of just 11 people. This isn't a fluke; it's the new benchmark for leverage. The question for your board is no longer if AI will transform your market, but whether you will lead that transformation or be disrupted by it.

Part 2: The 4-Stage Maturity Model: Your Path from Automation to Autonomy

So, how do you actually get there? You need a map. The Four-Stage Maturity Model charts the course from basic efficiency to true market dominance. Here’s the sobering reality: a staggering 73% of companies are trapped at the starting line.

• Stage 1: Task Automation: This is where most are today. Using AI for isolated tasks like writing an email or summarizing a call. It feels productive, but it doesn't move the needle on growth. It’s the definition of the productivity paradox.

• Stage 2: Process Augmentation: Here, AI starts integrating with your core systems, like your CRM. It offers up next-best-action suggestions and predictive lead scores. You start to see real, significant ROI, but it’s still a "human-in-the-loop" model, which limits your scale.

• Stage 3: System Orchestration: This is the transformative leap. Multiple AI agents start working together across marketing, sales, and customer success, executing complex plays with minimal human touch. This is where you structurally solve the eternal problem of sales and marketing alignment, because the AI agents are optimising for one thing: the business outcome.

• Stage 4: The Autonomous GTM Engine: The final destination. AI is the business. The system doesn't just run your plays; it learns from every single customer interaction, adapting to the market in real-time and building an intelligence that gets smarter every day.

Part 3: The ROI Progression: From Tactical Gains to Exponential Returns

Let's talk about the return, because it's not a fuzzy concept—it's real, and it compounds. In the first two stages, the impact is immediate. Think about it: a sales team closing $10M a year could bring in an extra $2.6M-$5M from the exact same pipeline. Your GTM costs could drop by 40-60%.

But the game completely changes in the advanced stages. We're seeing companies using agentic AI achieve 7x increases in conversion rates. This isn’t just an improvement; it's a whole new ballgame. The long-term prize is an 8-12x ROI, driven by a self-learning system that becomes your compounding intelligence moat.

Here’s the key: a competitor can buy the same software, but they can't buy your data. They can't replicate an AI that has learned from millions of your proprietary customer interactions. You build a structural advantage that is mathematically impossible for them to catch.

Part 4: The C-Suite Mandate: The Four Leadership Actions for Success

A powerful engine is useless without a skilled driver. Technology is the engine; leadership is in the driver's seat. Why do a shocking 82% of AI initiatives fail? It's not the tech. It's a failure of leadership. Successful transformation comes down to four non-negotiable actions from the C-suite:

1. Lead with a Clear, Top-Down Vision: Everyone needs to know why this is happening. Otherwise, you end up with a collection of expensive science projects instead of a cohesive strategy.

2. Build the Foundation: Prioritize clean, centralized data and an integrated tech stack. Your AI will only ever be as good as the data it learns from. Garbage in, garbage out.

3. Invest in an AI-Ready Workforce: This is about more than training. It's about building a culture where people feel safe enough to reinvent processes, not just optimize them.

4. Execute a Phased, ROI-Driven Plan: Don't try to boil the ocean. Start with a 90-day pilot on a single, high-impact problem. Prove the value, build momentum, and then scale.

Part 5: Assessment & Governance: Your Framework for Excellence

Before you can build the future, you have to be honest about where you are today. Take a hard look at your organisation's vision, data, talent, and governance. Most are strong on vision but weak on the foundational pieces.

As AI becomes more autonomous, robust governance around data, privacy, and ethics becomes the bedrock of trust. Think of it less like a roadblock and more like the guardrails on a highway. It doesn't slow you down; it allows you to go faster, safely.

Your Leadership Moment is Now

This isn't a "maybe"—the shift to an AI-native GTM is happening, and it's happening fast. The roadmap is clear, the returns are real, and the competitive advantage is exponential. Those who act now with conviction will define their markets for the next decade. Those who wait, comfortable with small productivity gains, will spend that decade trying to catch up.

Your market leadership will be decided by the choices you make in the next 90 days. The transformation begins now.

Hot take: Nobody cares about your product. They care about their problems. 💸

This came up in the General RevGenius Slack the other day, and it hit us: most sellers are sprinting to pitch before they’ve even diagnosed the pain. It’s backwards.

Sellers who actually lead with problems are 30% more effective… but only 13% of reps do it. Wild. 🤯

So how do you flip the script?

• Start with pain, not product. Be a doctor. Ask questions. Explore what’s broken, what’s outdated, what’s frustrating. Don’t rush to the pitch.

• Agitate the problem. Don’t just nod and move on. Dig deeper—what happens if nothing changes in 6 months? How does it impact the team? Make it sting.

• Quantify it. Turn “this sucks” into “this is costing us $X or Y hours a week.” Numbers make the case for you.

• Then, and only then, bring the proof. Case studies, ROI, real results. That’s when your product finally matters.

Bottom line:
Stop leading with your demo. Lead with their pain. Earn the right to pitch.

Sell the problem, not the product. 🎯
