Frequently asked questions
What is included in GTM Spend?
All marketing program spend, sales commissions, GTM tooling, agency fees, events, and fully loaded salaries for the entire revenue org (sales, marketing, sales development, partner). If it touches a prospect or customer pre-close, it counts.
What's a healthy GTM ROI multiple?
3x is the sustainable benchmark, every $1 of GTM spend returns $3 in new revenue. Below 2x suggests you're scaling unprofitably. Above 5x usually means you're under-investing in growth and competitors will out-pace you.
How do I improve GTM ROI quickly?
Three highest-leverage moves: kill the bottom 20% of channel spend (almost always recoverable), tighten ICP to raise close rates, and cut sales cycle by removing handoff friction. All three improve ROI without requiring more spend.
