As previously mentioned, I am excited to share excerpts from my upcoming book. I’m writing a book that deep-dives into the world of go-to-market (GTM) strategy. It blends personal experiences and passions that have shaped my career. I will also explore how AI is impacting all of us in sales, marketing, and sales enablement. AI influences operation and finance, from insights to planning. It affects pitching and execution. This book will give you a new and fresh perspective on building strong GTM plans. It leverages a consumer and partner-centric approach. It also asks the right questions to create real differentiation and impactful storytelling. You will find below a new excerpt focusing on the structure and what you can expect. Feel free to share your thoughts on this and open a conversation with me for collaboration. My calendar shared below is fully opened for this purpose.

Please find the excerpt below.

As we venture deeper into the age of AI-driven content creation, an important ethical challenge emerges. It resonates with the core principles we’ve explored throughout this book. The demand for transparency in AI-generated content is not just a passing trend. It’s a fundamental shift in consumer expectations. This shift will shape the future of Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies.

Recent data paints a compelling picture:

• 61.3% of US consumers believe media publications should always disclose AI-created content, according to a May 2024 EMARKETER survey.
• Globally, 49% of adults want AI disclosure labels for AI-generated images.
• 40% of US adults perceive AI-generated content as less valuable than traditional content.

These statistics underscore a crucial point we’ve emphasized in our Yellow Belt chapter. Understanding and responding to consumer expectations is paramount for GTM success. The demand for AI transparency aligns perfectly with our discussion on customer-centricity and building trust.

Key Questions for GTM Strategists:

• How can we integrate AI transparency into our content creation process without compromising efficiency?
• What innovative ways can we disclose AI usage while maintaining audience engagement?
• How might AI transparency affect our pricing strategies, given the perceived value difference?

As we discussed in the Green Belt chapter on customer engagement, trust is the cornerstone of effective marketing and sales. The AI transparency issue presents both a challenge and an opportunity to strengthen this trust.

Moreover, this ethical consideration dovetails with our exploration of the growth mindset in the White Belt chapter. Embracing transparency in AI usage demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and ethical business practices—key components of a growth-oriented approach.

For businesses leveraging AI in their GTM strategies, this trend necessitates a reevaluation. This is explored in our Orange Belt chapter on market understanding and positioning. Companies must assess how AI is used and communicated. It’s not just about using AI to gain insights, but also about being open about its role in content creation.

As we progress towards our Black Belt in GTM strategy, remember that ethical considerations like AI transparency are opportunities. They are not obstacles, but a chance to differentiate. They allow us to build deeper connections with our audience. We can position ourselves as leaders in ethical AI usage by addressing these concerns proactively. This approach turns a potential challenge into a competitive advantage.

In conclusion, as we navigate this new frontier, let’s view AI transparency not as a regulatory burden. Instead, let’s see it as a chance to reinforce our commitment to authenticity and customer trust. These principles have been at the heart of our GTM philosophy throughout this book.
