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.
