Most GTM teams do not fail because their strategy is wrong. They fail because their data quietly sabotages every decision they make.
Low response rates. Flat pipeline. Campaigns that “should have worked.”
The usual conclusion? “The market doesn’t care.”
The reality is harsher and far more useful: You never reached the market in the first place.
Before messaging, before channels, before automation, there is a simpler question every growth team must answer honestly:
Is your data fit for growth?
Most companies believe they have good data because:
None of that means the data can support a go-to-market motion.
Data readiness is not about volume. It is about usability under pressure.
When we pressure-test GTM motions, data fails in three predictable ways.
On paper, records look “complete.” In practice, they are unusable.
Common symptoms:
The result is false feedback. You think: “Outbound doesn’t work.”
What actually happened:
“Outbound never had a fair shot.”
If you cannot confidently reach your intended personas across channels, you are not running a campaign. You are running a guess.
Stale data creates the most dangerous illusion in growth: false negatives.
When titles are outdated or contacts have moved:
Teams walk away from viable markets because the data told them a lie.
Good GTM teams do not just ask “Do we have contacts?” They ask “Are these the right humans, right now?”
Accuracy and recency are not hygiene metrics. They are signal integrity controls.
Modern GTM is not single-channel. If your data only supports email, or only supports calling, or only supports LinkedIn, you do not have a motion. You have a constraint.
Data readiness means:
Without this, scale does not amplify success. It amplifies inefficiency.
Most teams underestimate the damage bad data causes.
Bad data does not just waste spend. It corrupts decision-making.
It creates:
By the time leadership asks for answers, the truth is buried under months of misleading signals.
Data that supports growth can answer these questions quickly:
If your data cannot answer those questions, no amount of messaging brilliance or automation will save the motion.
At Demand Accelerators, we do not assume data is usable. We test it.
We look at:
Not to judge, but to reveal truth early.
Because growth does not fail loudly at the start. It fails quietly upstream and shows up months later as “pipeline problems.”
Before you launch another campaign, hire another agency, or blame another channel, ask:
Is our data telling us the truth, or just telling us what we want to hear?
If you do not know, that uncertainty is already costing you.
