More budget won’t fix a distribution gap.
CEOs and CFOs at scaling tech companies tell me the same thing: “We need more marketing.” What they mean is more leads. What they actually have is a channel strategy built for a business model from two years ago.
Your buyers aren’t lost. They’re inside another ecosystem: a consulting firm that advises them, a platform they already pay for, a marketplace their procurement team already trusts. Those are roads you haven’t tried yet.

Scaling companies reach for headcount and ad spend when revenue slows. The smarter ones look at the relationships they’re not inside yet, and figure out how to get there faster than building from scratch would take.
