Coach K (Jonathan Kvarfordt) sits down with Eddie Reynolds, founder and CEO of Union Square Consulting and host of the Go-To-Market Science podcast, for a masterclass in go-to-market efficiency in the age of AI.

Eddie has carried a bag his entire career, spent 3 years inside Salesforce, and has now spent a decade helping CROs and RevOps leaders find the quick wins hiding in their revenue engine. In this conversation he shares the Go-To-Market Efficiency Pyramid, the exact model his firm uses to figure out what to fix first, and why AI only works when the foundation underneath it is solid.

If you're a CRO, VP of Sales, RevOps or GTM leader trying to figure out where AI actually fits, this one is for you.

What you'll learn:

• Why "what should we do with AI?" is the wrong question, and the question to ask instead
• The 4 layers of the Go-To-Market Efficiency Pyramid (fundamentals, adoption, optimization, acceleration)
• The pipeline truth test: how deals older than 2x your sales cycle are lying to your forecast
• Why you should fix your pipeline before you generate more of it
• The capacity-planning math behind the "magic number" of 200 accounts per rep
• Why AI tools fail without a defined sales process (and how to fix it)
• Centralized vs. decentralized AI, and the trap of every rep vibe-coding their own agent
• Why adoption, not the tool, is the real competitive moat

In this episode, Dan walks me through two complete playbooks his team uses with YC companies, Fortune 500 logos, and everyone in between.We cover the GTM Flywheel (how to connect every channel so they feed each other) and the ABM Playbook (what to do when you have fewer than 10,000 target accounts and can't afford to miss).
