This month's topic: GTM & Sales Execution Workshop: From Validation to Revenue Growth

This hands-on workshop is designed to guide early-stage founders, product teams, and sales professionals through the critical stages of bringing a product or idea to market. We’ll start with a concise overview of market validation—focusing on how to test demand before investing in development—to ensure you're building something people actually want.

From there, we’ll explore go-to-market (GTM) strategy fundamentals, including how to evaluate and prioritize customer acquisition channels to identify the highest-impact paths to growth.

The core of the session will center on GTM execution, with a deep dive into actionable sales tactics: how to prospect effectively, craft and test cold email sequences, manage a sales pipeline, and leverage the right tools to streamline and scale these efforts. Attendees will walk away with practical frameworks and templates they can immediately apply to drive traction and revenue.
