Why do so many B2B sales motions still feel stuck?
If buyers say they want partnerships, why do so few deals feel like one?
And what happens when every team aligns around delivering real value instead of pitching it?
That’s the conversation on this episode of GTM News Desk.
Ryan Schultz, CEO of
DIVACS, joins Mark and Rachel to discuss why most companies lose sight of value after the deal is signed — and how to fix it. He talks about building trust between sales and customer success, why acronyms won’t save your process, and how to turn renewal into a continuous value story.
