GTM Built on Intelligence, Not Guesswork
I've spent over a decade building analyst relations, competitive intelligence, and category positioning programs for cybersecurity and GRC companies. This is where I write about what actually works.
How I Think About Growth
Growth in regulated, technical buying environments doesn't come from volume tactics borrowed from PLG SaaS. It comes from four disciplined intelligence loops.
-
Analyst Intelligence -- Building real relationships with analyst firms and using their coverage to shape category narrative, not just to check a box.
-
Competitive Intelligence -- Turning competitor moves into talk tracks that win head-to-head deals, not static battlecards nobody reads.
-
Buyer Intelligence -- Mining win/loss data and RFP patterns to find out why deals actually close or die.
-
Customer Intelligence -- Using reference programs, NPS, and churn analysis to protect the revenue you already have.
Done together, these four pillars are how categories get created.
