Episode #226:

Joshua Leatherman explains why many B2B companies stall around 80 to 100 million when a sales-led approach exhausts the easier parts of the market. He shows how to replace random acts of marketing with a scalable go-to-market system that unites demand marketing, sales development, revenue operations, sales, and client success around a shared process and attribution. 

“Often, private companies hit an inflection point. Once you reach a certain point, around 80 to 100 million, they start to plateau. Usually, this is because they are sales-led and have not built a scalable go-to-market team that includes demand marketing, sales development, revenue operations, and sales and client success. Companies are focused on sales and need to learn how to build scalable teams.” – Joshua Leatherman

Joshua highlights a practical blueprint for moving from activity to outcomes. He identifies the core issue as misalignment and missing revenue operations, then outlines how demand marketing surfaces in-market intent while SDR and client success extend pipeline quality and expansion. The result is a predictable motion that scales beyond the plateau and aligns teams with revenue, attribution, and the voice of the customer.
