    S7E6 - How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS with Maja Voje

    How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS? Inbound go-to-market for SaaS is undergoing a major transformation. What once relied on blog posts, lead magnets, and cold outreach is now powered by artificial intelligence. AI is no longer just a content assistant. It now fuels end-to-end workflows, drives strategy, qualifies leads, and personalizes outreach at scale. SaaS teams are deploying AI agents to track LinkedIn signals, automate follow-ups, and even manage outbound efforts. This evolution is unlocking new levels of speed and scale, but it also brings real risks if automation isn’t carefully managed. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, Maja Voje breaks down how AI is reshaping inbound GTM. She shares what’s working today, where teams should stay hands-on, and how to build AI-assisted systems without losing the human connection that still drives trust in B2B. If you're building or scaling a SaaS product, this is your playbook for doing it smarter with AI.

    S7E5 - B2B SaaS Sales Growth: Outbound Strategies to Scale Revenue with Joey Gilkey

    What’s the secret behind B2B SaaS sales growth and how can outbound strategies be used to scale revenue efficiently? When it comes to growing a B2B SaaS company, not all sales leads are created equal. Inbound leads, those who find you through marketing efforts or referrals, already have some level of trust. They’ve seen your website, maybe read a blog post or two, and are at least familiar with your brand. Outbound leads, on the other hand, have no idea who you are. You’re reaching out to them cold, and they’re likely skeptical from the start. That’s why trust becomes your most important asset in outbound sales. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, brought to you by ⁠SaaStock⁠, Joey Gilkey, CEO of Titan X, explains that outbound sales require a different mindset. You're not just selling a product; you're building a relationship from zero. In outbound, your first impression matters more than ever. That process starts with establishing credibility right away. Without trust, even the best SaaS product won’t make it through the noise. As a valued listener of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, we’ve got something special for you!

    S7E4 -  Why Your SaaS GTM Isn’t Working And How to Fix It with Operational Discipline with Garrath Robinson

    Are you wondering why Your SaaS GTM Isn’t Working, And How to Fix It with Operational Discipline? In today’s competitive business environment, success depends not just on great products, but on how effectively you bring them to market. Yet, many companies struggle with go-to-market (GTM) strategies that fall apart under pressure. Why? Because marketing and sales often operate in silos, pulling in different directions instead of working as a unified force. Think of it this way: marketing should act as the recon team, gathering intelligence, identifying opportunities, and setting the stage. Sales, on the other hand, is the strike team—responsible for execution and closing. When these two functions are misaligned or overloaded with conflicting motions, the result is confusion, inefficiency, and missed revenue. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, Joran Hofman sits down with Head of GTM Garrath Robinson to explore why most GTM strategies fail—and how a disciplined, military-inspired approach can help businesses stay focused, aligned, and ready to win.
