## Resource

Most B2B companies are running inbound and outbound because they're comfortable, measurable, and feel like a spreadsheet they already know. That's exactly why the motion that creates the biggest deal sizes and longest customer relationships stays chronically underinvested. ㅤ David Walsh , founder of Limelight , sits down with Sangram Vajre , co-founder and CEO of GTM Partners , to get into the real mechanics of go-to-market: how teams lose alignment, why partner-led motion outperforms everything else, and what it actually takes to build content that 175,000 people read weekly. ㅤ Sangram has been in the rooms where these decisions get made.
