I took two companies from $0 to $1 million in revenue in just 9 months. Once with Terminus in 2014 and again with GTM Partners in 2021. One was funded, one wasn't. One was an up market, one wasn't. 

The 8 questions I'm sharing here are the reason both worked.

These 8 questions are what I ran every major decision through at both companies, and they're what I walk hundreds of CEOs through inside GTM OS today. The answers will be different for your business. The questions are the same.
