The Buyer-Led Future: Why GTM Playbooks Are Broken with Santosh Sharan
Manage episode 505350598 series 3659335
Traditional go-to-market playbooks no longer work. Buyers now control 80% of their journey before ever talking to sales, and sellers are left struggling with outdated approaches.
In this episode of The Next Decision, Santosh Sharan, Co-Founder and CEO of Zeeb.ai, joins Jarie Bolander, General Manager & Executive Partner at Decision Counsel, to explore how B2B growth is shifting from seller-led to buyer-led.
We dive into:
Why GTM playbooks have become commoditized and ineffective
How buyer behavior has fundamentally changed over the past decade
The rise of AI, agents, and buyer-led platforms
Why endpoint solutions are dead and platform strategies matter
The critical role of product marketing in the new landscape
If you’re a CEO, founder, or GTM leader, this episode will help you rethink growth strategy and stay ahead of the shift.
