🔍 Hourly Consultation Call: Brand​/​Marketing​/​Communication Theme: Capability & Unity Assessment — Sales ​/​ Marketing ​/​ Product What It Is: A 60-minute, high-leverage diagnostic session designed for founders or executive teams to uncover disconnects, misalignments, or capability gaps between Sales, Marketing, and Product—functions that should operate as a single growth engine but often don't. Why It Matters: Startups don’t fail because they lack features. They fail because teams build in isolation, market without clarity, or sell what doesn’t exist. This call cuts through noise and forces clarity on: - Who owns what. - What stories are being told. - Whether anyone’s actually listening. What You Get: - Functional Reality Check: Quick-read on how aligned (or misaligned) Sales, Marketing, and Product really are—from messaging to feedback loops to KPIs. - Signal vs. Noise Filter: Identify where each function creates friction or false signals (e.g., vanity metrics, misused customer feedback, “spray and pray” marketing). - Capability Gap Spotting: Are the right skills in the room? Is anyone fluent in customer behavior, not just feature releases? - Unity Score: A qualitative sense of cross-functional unity—or lack thereof. - Clarity on Next Moves: 1–2 decisive, strategic actions to close the most critical gaps fast. Style & Approach: - Inspired by Y Combinator’s direct, founder-first mindset—expect: - No jargon. No fluff. Just clarity. - Deep pattern recognition across GTM and product strategy. - Brutal honesty, in service of your velocity.
