Most B2B companies are still trying to grow revenue using a model that no longer fits how senior buyers behave. They count pipeline stages, measure campaign activity, and add more Martech, while the real problem sits somewhere else entirely: visibility, repeated exposure, trust, and buyer readiness.

In this episode, Nigel Maine explains why modern B2B growth is structurally misaligned. He challenges the assumptions behind much of today’s GTM thinking and makes the case that CEOs and revenue leaders need to stop relying on fragmented tactics and start thinking more like broadcasters, operators, and system designers.

This episode covers:

  •  why many B2B growth models are built on the wrong assumptions 
  •  why buyer anonymity matters more than most GTM teams admit 
  •  why repeated visibility across a total addressable market matters more than internal activity metrics 
  •  why generic SEO and keyword-led content are losing ground to useful expertise 
  •  why sales has always been a numbers game, but B2B has been measuring the wrong numbers 
  •  how a more structured operating model can support visibility, engagement, and buyer readiness 

If your business is questioning whether the standard B2B growth model is still fit for purpose, this episode will give you a clearer view of what may need to change.
