Why is go-to-market still broken in B2B?

Because nobody owns the commercial outcome.


In this pivotal episode of The B2B Playbook, we sit down with Carolyn Dilks (co-founder of Passetto) and Adem Manderovic (co-founder of CRO School) to unpack why sales, marketing, and customer success continue to operate in silos—and what needs to change.


This isn’t another “alignment” chat.


It’s a practical blueprint for rebuilding GTM around commercial oversight, financial accountability, and real market validation—not just KPIs that make the dashboard look good.


We cover:

+ How Predictable Revenue broke GTM—and what comes next

+ Why “meetings booked” is a destructive metric

+ The missing role of commercial acumen in sales and marketing


+ What Passetto does to bridge GTM and finance

+ How CRO School is restoring financial ownership across revenue teams

+ And why this isn’t a fix at the department level—it’s a top-down restructure


If your GTM strategy feels reactive, misaligned, or just plain inefficient—this conversation is your roadmap to a commercially viable, scalable system.
