We all think our GTM system is better than it is.
And that we're untouchable.
Right up until the moment the ramp drops.
Psychologists have a name for this: Illusory Superiority.
Most people believe they are above average. Better drivers. Smarter leaders. More capable operators.
Of course that can’t be true for most of us.
Companies behave the same way.
Inside the business, the signals usually look reassuring.
The pipeline appears solid.
The forecast feels believable.
The team assumes the system is working.
Then something changes in the market.
Last week Reuters reported that Meta is considering layoffs that could affect roughly 20% of its workforce.
Moments like that force a hard question.
Was the system strong, or did it only appear that way while conditions were stable?
Companies that survive shifts like this rarely rely on heroics.
They rely on systems that produce consistent signals.
Product, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success see the same reality and act on it quickly.
Heroics might win a quarter.
Systems determine what happens over years.
Execution Beats Theory. Every Time.
