GTM News Desk

What actually happens when companies apply automation & AI to ABM strategies?

Is Salesforce delivering on its AI productivity promises or just selling the vision?

And how do you build a movement around a new way of doing business?

That’s exactly what we’re looking at on this episode of GTM News Desk. Amos Bar-Joseph, CEO of Swan, outlines his vision for the Autonomous Business Model, where lean teams meet AI agents to operate with outstanding impact. He shares how Swan has driven revenue without a sales team, what it looks like to architect a new GTM system from scratch, and why storytelling is the key to market momentum.
