Your GTM Doesn’t Need to Be Louder. It Needs to Be Truer.
When trust is scarce, coherence is the only strategy left.
The State of Play
Your market has heard it all before.
The “authentic” founder story
The “category-defining” positioning deck
The “personalized” outreach powered by auto-fill and AI
Every word sounds good.
But no one feels it anymore.
Why?
Because when everything can be simulated, the only thing that lands is what repeats with truth.
The Real GTM Risk
Your brand isn’t being judged on what it says once.
It’s being judged on how it shows up again and again.
Do your product decisions echo your promises?
Does your sales motion honor your positioning?
Does your AI generate content that reflects your beliefs, or just your keywords?
If the answer is no. Your message isn’t building trust. It’s eroding it.
Tactical Move for GTM Teams
This week, audit your system for signal coherence:
Does your narrative sound the same in sales calls, site copy, and investor decks?
Are your AI tools trained on your point of view, not just product features?
Can your buyer explain your core belief without you in the room?
If not, don’t fix the funnel.
Fix the foundation.
Mantra for the Week
Don’t try to impress.
Try to match yourself.
In a world of noise, trust is built by those who mean it often, not just once.
Remember – leaders are repeaters.
CREATOR DNA DROP #07
Consistency is my resonance. Repetition is my strategy.
Why This Matters (Especially for Revenue Creators)
In an AI-saturated, over-automated, dashboard-drenched GTM world, trust doesn’t come from what you say once.
It comes from what repeats with alignment, across every function, every workflow, and every buyer touchpoint.
As a Revnue Creator leader, your job is no longer to maintain alignment.
Your job is to orchestrate memory.
Tactical Truth: Trust = Operational Coherence
Trust isn’t soft. It’s repeatable signal.
And as a Revenue Creator, you control the levers that make, or break, that signal.
Here’s what it really means:
Domain | Risk | Move |
Messaging | Marketing says one thing, AE says another | Own the Narrative Spine. Build a Message → System map. |
Metrics | Teams optimize different KPIs = chaos | Set a Revenue Truth Layer: one shared metric stack per motion. |
AI + Prompts | GPT models generate brand-safe fluff | Train agents on your POV, not just personas. Build a Prompt Library with belief baked in. |
Feedback Loops | CS hears friction, but insights die in Slack | Build a closed-loop GTM: Feedback → Insight → Action → Back. |
5 Real-World Plays to Build Trust
1. Build Your GTM Memory Graph
Map the beliefs, messages, and metrics you want repeated across Sales, CS, and Marketing.
Ensure every persona touchpoint pulls from this, not just your web copy.
2. Run a “Signal Drift Audit”
Review 3 recent call recordings, 2 nurture emails, and 1 customer renewal convo.
Ask: “Are we saying the same thing?” If not, fix it at the RevOps system layer, not in another workshop.
3. Create a Revenue Creator-Owned Prompt Library
Store prompts that reflect your GTM truth, not just your product.
Examples: “Write a follow-up that reflects our belief that clarity > complexity,” or “Draft an email with calm urgency for operators who’ve seen 3 failed tools already.”
4. Build Repetition Systems, Not Just Campaigns
Align your GTM calendar to belief cycles, not quarters.
Ask: “What do we want the market to remember about us in 90 days?” Then embed that into ops, onboarding, and outbound.
5. Operationalize Truth Touchpoints
Add “Truth Consistency” as a QA field in call reviews
Run weekly “Signal Check” standups: Are we still in rhythm with what we promised?
What It Feels Like When You Get This Right
Your buyer can repeat your positioning back to you
Your CS team can sell without asking Marketing for slides
Your AI agents sound like your founder on their best day
You’re no longer syncing systems, you’re reinforcing truth
Sameness Hall of Shame
Where tired tactics go to die, and legends are reborn.
Last week, we held a séance for Playbook Necromancy.
This week?
We’re stepping into the spotlight…
and dragging the main character syndrome of GTM:
This Week’s Offender:
Thought Leader Theater
When your POV is just another polished echo of someone else’s post.
You’ve seen it:
“Be the CEO of your desk.”
“Your biggest competitor isn’t another company. It’s indifference.”
“Here are 3 lessons I learned from losing everything and starting again, at a WeWork.”
It looks sharp.
It sounds wise.
It feels safe.
But it doesn’t say anything real.
The Problem:
Thought Leader Theater turns lived truth into LinkedIn performance.
It replaces originality with optics.
You’re not building resonance.
You’re stacking punchlines and praying for virality.
It’s not strategy. It’s applause-seeking.
Why It Happens:
AI can write like you now
Everyone’s copying everyone’s copy
And your “thought leadership strategy” got built in a deck instead of your gut
So now your voice?
Feels like everyone else’s.
Here’s what we say:
If your content passes the vibe check but fails the soul test, delete it.
If your post could’ve come from 8 other GTM creators this morning, it’s not a POV. It’s a placeholder.
If your thought leadership doesn’t cost you anything to say, it’s probably not leading anything.
Rebuild It with Soul
Ask yourself:
What’s the belief I’m scared to post, but know is true?
What market truth am I holding that no one’s naming yet?
What tension am I living right now that deserves language?
Then write from that. Even if it flops.
Especially if it does.
Because thought leadership isn’t performance.
It’s public integration of what you’re learning, questioning, and living.
Try this instead:
Instead of:
“Here are 4 lessons from 4 years in GTM leadership…”
Try:
“Here’s something I got wrong for 4 years straight, and what I’m trying now instead.”
That’s not theater.
That’s invitation.
Got a content calendar full of TED Talk cosplay?
We’ll roast it with love, and help rebuild your POV from truth, not tropes.

“The plan was solid. The dashboard said green. So why didn’t we hit the number?”
Everyone’s chasing growth in 2025, yet most revenue teams are stuck repeating the same execution breakdowns.
On paper, the strategy looks tight. But behind the scenes? Misalignment, noise, and outdated ops are quietly derailing progress.
That’s why in a live session (June 26th), we’re unpacking what’s really holding back revenue execution—and how top teams are breaking the cycle.

Confession of the Week
Hi, my name is Ketan. And I once worked with a CFO who didn’t trust the CRM.
Instead?
He exported everything to Excel and ran his own analysis, manually.
At first, it felt old-school. But then I realized,
He spotted BS faster than anyone in the room.
The dashboards said one thing. His spreadsheets told the truth.
The takeaway?
Sometimes the problem isn’t the person. It’s the system.
Trust gets built when data actually earns it.

Creator DNA Drop
“Traditional sales cycles are dead, especially for a complex sale.”
We pulled one of the hottest threads from #chat-gtm this week,
Xav dropped a vulnerable, high-signal ask about why sales was stalling at his engineering consultancy, and the community showed up.
What unfolded?
A 20+ reply deep-dive into what happens when your offer doesn’t fit the mold, and your buyers don’t even know how to buy what you’re selling.
From targeting advice to playbook design, trust-building frameworks to ICP reframing, the message was clear:
When the model’s unconventional, your GTM can’t be conventional.
This is Revenue Creator DNA:
Curiosity > assumptions. Collaboration > one-size-fits-all.
