GTM Uncensored™

Adam Jay & Dale Zwizinski

Most GTM content covers the same ground. GTM Uncensored finds the operators actually in the seat and digs into what's true in today's GTM, not what sounds good. Every guest is currently building a company, leading a revenue team, or running a GTM function inside a real business. During the show, Adam and Dale push the envelope until the real story comes out. The show goes where most content won't: The motions that determine whether a company stays in business, or goes under. GTM Uncensored is built for B2B revenue leaders at $5M–$100M ARR who are accountable to a number and need a real-world playbook, not philosophy. Every episode ends with a Monday Morning Move. One specific action you can take this week, and a series of Uncensored Questions where listeners get unfiltered answers from people who've actually been there. What we cover: Pipeline & GTM motion, post-sale architecture, CS & retention, NRR/GRR mechanics, RevOps, AI in the revenue org, executive branding, and more. Your hosts: Adam Jay and Dale Zwizinski are co-founders of Revenue Reimagined. They didn't build a consulting firm. They flipped the fractional CRO model because strategy without execution doesn't move the needle. The questions they ask on air are the same ones they're solving inside real companies right now. GTM Uncensored is the GTM conversations nobody else is having.

    Sequencers Are Obsolete in 2026

    Most GTM teams are still optimizing a sales stack that's already obsolete. Anis Bennaceur, co-founder of Attention, joins Adam Jay and Dale Zwizinski to make the case that sequencers - and maybe even the CRM itself - won't survive the next few years of AI-native selling. In this episode of GTM Uncensored, Anis explains why he told Outreach's own CEO that sequencers are obsolete in 2026 (and got agreement, not pushback), why most "pipeline problems" are actually visibility problems, and how bad lead routing is quietly costing revenue teams 20%+ in missed ARR.

    How Great Revenue Leaders Fix Broken Systems
