In this episode of GTM Live, Amber sits down with Matt Green, Co-Founder and CRO of Sales Assembly, to talk about what’s actually working in GTM right now, and why so many teams are stuck debating the wrong things.

They start with the real root cause of credit wars: marketing and sales are fighting because they’re measured on competing scorecards. Matt makes the case for a simpler model around shared revenue accountability, and why the attribution debate gets a lot quieter when the business is closing deals.

Episode highlights:

Why credit wars between sales and marketing are a scorecard problem, not a people problem
How competing KPIs quietly reinforce “sales-sourced vs marketing-sourced” debates
Why attribution can’t explain why pipeline actually happened
What’s working to build pipeline in 2026 (micro events, in-person, fewer but higher-quality interactions)
How AI has changed outbound and why most “good” outreach now blends into noise
Why forecasting improves when teams track buyer behavior, not seller activity
How to use social listening (peer conversations) to create content that actually drives engagement

If you’re trying to use content to drive more engagement, more conversations, and more pipeline, this episode is packed with practical ways to do it.
