How to Solve for Misalignment Between Teams

Misalignment between go-to-market teams often hinders growth for private equity-backed B2B SaaS companies scaling rapidly post-investment. Sales and marketing operating in silos create inconsistent messaging, disjointed customer experiences, and lost deals. This GTM Bloat generates inefficiencies that cause more bottlenecks than they resolve, dramatically slowing GTM Velocity.

Forward-thinking companies adopt the right GTM AI strategy and use a GTM AI Platform with powerful workflows to streamline collaboration and ensure a unified go-to-market approach.

How to Solve Misalignment Between Teams

B2B SaaS companies can use two key workflows on a GTM AI Platform to address team misalignment:

ABM Asset Creation: Automatically generate highly personalized marketing assets for each target account, ensuring messaging is tailored to their unique needs and challenges.
Unified Data Flow: Integrate CRM data across teams to enable synchronized reporting and a holistic view of the customer journey.

These workflows create a consistent, unified buying experience across all touchpoints - from initial outreach to closed-won, maximizing GTM Velocity.

1. ABM Asset Creation - Account-Based Marketing Package

The ABM Asset Creation workflow aligns messaging across sales and marketing by automatically generating highly targeted assets for each account.

Inputs Needed:

Audience data
Persona alignment

What the Workflow Does:

Step 1: Enter audience data and persona alignment into the workflow
Step 2: Run the ABM Asset Creation workflow
Step 3: Review and refine the auto-generated assets by adjusting each 'Action' as needed
Step 4: Get the following outputs:
- Tailored landing pages
- Personalized advertisements
- Customized event outlines
- Targeted emails

This workflow ensures that all marketing assets are highly customized to individual accounts and decision-makers by using account and persona-level data. This enhances the relevance and impact of campaigns.

Example in Action: SaaS company Acme Inc. wants to target enterprise accounts in the financial services industry. The ABM Asset Creation workflow generates a suite of assets - from landing pages to email copy - that speak directly to the unique challenges of CFOs at large financial institutions after inputting audience data (company size, industry) and persona alignment (CFO pain points, goals).

2. Unified Data Flow

With Copy.ai, we allow Go-to-Market teams to create Tables and Infobase entries, centralized data repositories that can be accessed by all departments to create any piece of text-based asset needed.

a. Tables

Tables act as centralized repositories for all structured data needed to drive workflows and content creation. Think of them as the operational backbone that ensures consistency, scalability, and adaptability across all GTM functions.

Purpose of Tables:

Data Structuring:
- Tables organize workflows, inputs, outputs, and related metadata into a clean, accessible format.
- They provide a single source of truth for strategic initiatives, pain points, workflows, and guide creation.
Inputs for Automation:
- Tables are the input source for workflows like the Ultimate Guide Writer or the Content Finder.
- They store critical data such as:
  - Strategic initiatives
  - Workflow inputs and outputs
  - Problems solved
  - Benefits of workflows
  - Guide titles, outlines, and meta descriptions
Integration with Content:
- Tables link directly to guides, videos, landing pages, and glossary entries.
- They ensure seamless integration of all content assets across the customer journey.
Cross-Team Collaboration:
- They serve as a shared framework for sales, marketing, customer success, and product teams.

b. Infobase

Infobase serves as a knowledge repository that feeds critical insights and contextual information into workflows and decision-making processes. It’s a reference layer that ensures workflows produce accurate, relevant, and high-value outputs.

Purpose of Infobase:

Content Knowledge:
- Infobase stores detailed knowledge about your product, solutions, and values, ensuring that workflows generate outputs aligned with your brand identity.
- It includes:
  - Packages and workflows
  - Customer use cases
  - Pain points and solutions
  - Marketing and sales messaging
Enabling Workflows:
- Infobase is a contextual layer for workflows like the Ultimate Guide Writer, which relies on stored product knowledge to create guides that align with your GTM strategy.
- It ensures AI-generated outputs are accurate and high-quality by providing foundational knowledge.
Consistency Across Outputs:
- Infobase acts as a quality control mechanism, ensuring that every guide, landing page, and blog post reflects consistent messaging and product positioning.
Scalable Intelligence:
- Infobase grows with your product and market knowledge, becoming smarter and more comprehensive over time.

How They Work Together

Tables provide the structured data (e.g., workflows, inputs, outputs, guide outlines).
Infobase provides the knowledge and context needed to ensure the data in Tables translates into high-value content and actions.

Together, they form the backbone of a scalable, repeatable system that powers content creation, ABM campaigns, and cross-functional collaboration.

Putting Them Together

The ABM Asset Creation and a Unified Data Flow create a powerful foundation for go-to-market alignment and success when used together on a GTM AI Platform. B2B SaaS companies can:

Craft consistent, compelling messaging that resonates with each account
Coordinate efforts across the entire customer journey
Make data-driven decisions to optimize performance
Close more deals and drive sustainable growth

Why Copilots Aren't Sufficient

AI copilots like ChatGPT can assist with general content creation, but they can't deeply integrate with a company's proprietary data and processes. This can lead to generic, un-targeted assets that fail to move the needle.

Additionally, relying solely on copilots puts the burden on individual team members to drive adoption and ensure consistent usage. This often results in sporadic, siloed implementation rather than a cohesive, organization-wide GTM AI strategy.

Looking Ahead

Private equity-backed B2B SaaS companies can align their go-to-market efforts, enhance the customer experience, and accelerate growth by implementing the ABM Asset Creation and give their teams a more Unified Data Flow.

Teams can explore additional workflows to further amplify the impact, such as:

Win-Loss Analysis: To uncover insights that inform messaging and positioning
Customer Research: To identify expansion and upsell opportunities
Battlecards: To equip sales teams with competitive intelligence

An expanding suite of AI-powered workflows on a GTM AI Platform enables revenue teams to work together more efficiently and effectively - driving the outsized outcomes expected in a high-growth, post-investment phase and maximizing GTM Velocity.
